📡 WIFI Access Point Installation
🛠 What We Offer
Q: What is a site survey and why is it needed?
A: A survey maps signal strength, interference and coverage. Therefore, it guides access point placement.
Q: How many access points will I need?
A: That depends on area, wall thickness and density. Consequently, we always assess before recommending.
Q: Where should access points be mounted?
A: Ceiling mounting usually offers better results. In addition, it minimises obstructions and improves roaming.
Q: How do you avoid interference?
A: We analyse nearby signals and select non-overlapping channels. Furthermore, we adjust power levels when required.
Q: Will devices roam smoothly?
A: Yes. Because we configure consistent SSIDs and handover settings, clients can move without interruptions.
Q: Do you support outdoor installations?
A: Absolutely. For example, we can provide weatherproof housings and directional antennas.
🔍 Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a site survey and why is it needed?
A: A site survey (RF survey) maps signal strength, interference and coverage gaps. It guides placement and spacing of equipment.
Q: How many access points will I need?
A: That depends on floor area, wall materials, device density and usage. We assess those to define count.
Q: Where should access points be mounted? On walls or ceilings?
A: Ceiling mounting yields better line-of-sight, fewer obstructions and wider coverage. Many guides recommend ceiling installs.
Q: What is interference and how do you manage it?
A: Interference comes from neighbouring WIFI, electronics or metal structures. We avoid overlapping channels, adjust transmit power, and select clean frequencies.
Q: Will devices roam smoothly between access points?
A: Yes. We configure handover and matching SSIDs so clients move without drops.
Q: Do you support outdoor or hybrid installs?
A: Yes. We can design hybrid indoor/outdoor coverage. Protective housings, weatherproof APs or directional antennas may be used.

🧩 Best Practices & Tips
• Avoid placing APs near large metal objects or behind thick walls.
• Use high quality cabling (Cat5e or better) and keep runs under length limits.
• Reduce channel overlap by allowing APs to use “auto” or clean channels.
• Start with lower transmit power and increase only as needed.
• Always run a post-installation test to find weak spots or noise.
