Summary

Before you deploy your wireless APs, consider your wireless AP requirements; the channel separation; the presence of signal propagation modifiers and sources of interference; and the number of wireless APs needed to meet your wireless coverage, bandwidth, and redundancy requirements.

To deploy your wireless APs, estimate wireless AP locations using building plans and knowledge of signal propagation modifiers and interference sources. Install your wireless APs in their temporary locations and perform a site survey, noting the areas with inadequate coverage. Change the locations of your wireless APs, signal propagation modifiers, or sources of interference and verify coverage by performing an additional site survey. After your final wireless AP locations are determined, update your building plans with their locations and note remaining areas of decreased bandwidth or signal strength.
