WiFi access point installation, or WAP installation, is placing devices in a building or space to create a wireless area network. Access points connect to a switch, hub, or router with an Ethernet cable to boost WiFi signal to an established area.

FAQs about WiFi access point installation:

What is a WiFi access point?

Wireless access points (WAPs) are networking devices businesses use to connect to a wired network. WAPs serve as a central transmitter and receiver of WiFi signals. These devices can act as standalone routers or connected to a larger network. WAPs can also be protected and secured with wall-mounted enclosures, such as Hubbell’s access point boxes. Rather than using wires and cables, it is simpler and easier to install WAPs to connect all the computers or devices in your network.

How does a WiFi access point installation work?

WAP experts will need to go through a set of steps to properly recommend and install a device solutions to fit your needs:

  1. Consultation – Discuss network pain points, needs, and expectations to identify expectations.
  2. Onsite Assessment – A managed IT team will review your current network infrastructure. If you require a brand new network design, they should identify more elaborate information and run tools for further data gathering.
  3. Analysis –  WAP installation experts will analyze the data collected and specific site information. For example, a heat map would show the coverage and speed test results of existing access points.
  4. Proposal – Based on the analysis, they put together a network design and installation proposal. This may include various options that you can select and includes topology, equipment lists, bill of materials, and more.

Why do I need multiple WiFi access points?

Access points, such as the Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess® Stellar series, can handle many simultaneous connections at once. By installing access points throughout an office or warehouse, users can roam freely without experiencing network interruptions. While moving throughout the space, their devices shift seamlessly from one access point to the next without dropping the connection. Users will not notice they are switching between networks.

Depending on how much space you need coverage for and what devices you use, your access point needs will differ. A large warehouse would need a much larger solution of devices than a small to medium-sized office space. It is important to evaluate if your current setup is meeting your needs and finding room for improvement.
