Optimal positioning of M5 units
I live in a bungalow/single storey house and I have 3 M5 Deco units. Currently the two satellite units connect wirelessly to the main unit. It's always worked very well, however we've just had an extension and I want to buy a couple more M5 units and change the network topology to make use of Ethernet backhaul. Physically this'll be fairly easy to do because I can run the cables through the loft above the rooms below. My worry is that having the M5 units up in the loft, above all the devices that will connect to them might not provide the best performance.
is it best to have the M5 units at ground level, or is it perfectly OK to put them up in the loft. I wonder what the beam pattern is - if I have the up in the loft, should I invert them upside down so their Wi-Fi signal is projected downwards into the rooms below?
any insight or experience from other people who've tried this out?
Thanks.
