WIRELESS ACCESS POINTS INSTALLATION BASICS - HOME NETWORKING 101

Wireless access points (WAPs) provide a convenient method of connecting people to the internet. A WAP allows for multiple wireless connections between people and web-based resources. When planning a WAP installation, it’s important to carefully consider how many Wireless Access Points (WAPs) you should have in a structure and where they should be placed to ensure consistent wireless connections throughout the facility.

You will need the following information before WAP Installation:
A) The size and shape of the coverage area in square feet;
B) Layout of the area and which construction materials the walls use;
C) The total number of wireless users you can expect during peak use
D) The application/throughput requirements per user.

A good general rule of thumb is that there should be at least one WAP device installed in a honeycomb pattern for every 1,600 square feet of floor space. However, this rule of thumb does not account for any interference from walls or objects that may be in a facility.
