System Requirements

The 23.7786.51 antenna requires a Cisco 802.11b/g radio product that uses an RP-TNC connector.

Installation Notes

This antenna is designed to be mounted directly to the access point. For information about orienting the 
dipole antenna, see the hardware installation guide for your access point.

In addition to antenna orientation, wireless access point installation location with respect to all wireless 
clients plays a significant role in determining overall network performance. Clients at the furthest 
coverage points might have 10% to 50% of the bandwidth of clients close to it. Wireless network 
coverage in one area or location might need to be lowered to improve the performance of other clients.
