Rick, My comments were directed at omni-directional antenna deployment. Directional antennas are different in that their radiation footprint is focused. The 3 foot rule is not a bad starting point, but take a close look at the published antenna gain chart for the particular antenna. Some dir

Thanks Stan! I take it that also means that I shouldn't place two directional antennas in essentially a Y pattern side by side or one over the under unless they are also 3 feet apart? I have a wide outdoor area to cover (entry to large animal hospital) . I have an ideal spot to locate

When co-locating APs for user density/capacity, they should be on non-overlapping channels (1/6/11 for 802.11b/g) and should be spaced some distance (3 feet is a good rule of thumb) apart from one another. This applies to both 802.11b/g and 802.11a. The reason you want to do this is to minimiz
