Hardware Version : V2

Is there a recommended Height off the ground for a TL-WA7210N?

I am using this in my backyard for WiFi access to my phones, so I can control my Sonos while outside. I have a oddly shaped backyard, the furthest point where I'm trying to get wifi is 285' from this AP. I'm not sure if having this antenna 15' in the air, while I am 5'10" off the ground with my phone in my hand is the best way to do this. If this is covered in another forum, and this has already been covered please don't kill me, I looked and couldn't find anything.

15 feet is enough. I think you are placing the TL-WA7210N on the roof or outside the window, right? If so it should be fine.

The only thing you must notice is that this TL-WA7210N is a directional access point which means it will focus the signal to one direction. Its emission angle is Horizontal: 60° Vertical: 30°. So when you install, you'd better align it to your desired direction. (I think it should be facing down slightly to the ground in your case.)
