A mixed-antenna office layout

The design challenge

Four APs combine CW9176I and CW9176D1 models on one office floor. The antenna mix makes orientation a specific review item.

Engineering considerations

Review the intended service area for each antenna pattern and the transitions between cells. Pointing an AP is an engineering decision, not interior decorating.
