Hello,

For a new location, I'm wondering where I should best install my AP.

The building has corridors, each equiped with a false ceiling (ceiling titles are 50x50cm with suspension rails).

On the upper side of ceiling titles, are located long bands of glass wool for thermic isolation.

The ceiling is made of concrete.

I don't know yet if glass bands are simply laid flat on ceiling titles upper side or fixed on ceiling, which may leave an empty space bellow or above the glass wooln (I'll check soon what is current setup).

Each AP has to serve a 12mx12m area and up to 5 wifi devices (smartphones, PC, mostly).

I can think of 3 installation alternatives:

1. fixed bellow ceiling tiles

2. laid above ceiling tiles but bellow glass wool

3. fixed on ceiling (above both ceiling titles and glass wool)

Solutions 2 or 3 have the advantage of keeping AP out of sight (which is appreciated when you can't protect AP with 802.1x).

Shall I expect measurable differences between those solutions ? Which one would you pick and why ?

Bets regards
