Should Unifi Aps Be Mounted On The Walls Or Ceiling

Wall mounted will provide better coverage above and below the ap.
Should unifi aps be mounted on the walls or ceiling. Thanks for any thoughts. This is another thing that the manual is silent on. However for a few of our aps that are not intended to be mounted to a wall or a ceiling like the unifi mesh access points rather than the elevation going to 90 degrees the graph scale is expanded to 180 degrees. Forgive my ignorance on the question but is there a big difference on signal performance mounting on the wall vs the ceiling.
What are the pros and cons of the two options. I have one ap that is much easier to mount on the wall. We mounted a couple wap s in the ceiling the rest are wall mounted in plastic boxes. I remember looking into this before and it s not advised to mount ceiling mount aps on the wall.
Optimized for horizontal ceiling mounted orientation of ap 225. For a ceiling mout will you get a decent signal on the. All of the aps will be in storage closets on the front side of the building mounted to the outer wall so that they are pointing. That s why wall mounting is terrible for these and ceiling mounting even on a slope will be better than wall mounted.
I guess this depends somewhat on the directionality if any of the radio. They work in both directions but if you re design is for optimum horizontal coverage they should be ceiling mounted. You end up losing a lot of signal that way. This is not to say you won t get a signal if the ap is pointing right at you just that the best coverage will come from have it parallel to the ground.
The unifi controller app is both the system s great strength and strongest weakness depending on your skill with managing a complex wifi network and your desire to do so in the first place. For a home installation is there any difference between the two. Physical access to the device played an important role too both for wiring and maintenance. The disk shaped aps that unifi sells all have similar radiation patterns they should be mounted where you would put a fire sprinkler in the middle of the room on the ceiling.
