can a set of these be mounted in different polarization? i have a pole where one unit would be mounted vertically, but on the other side is a wood horizontal bar that holds the roof tiles - where i’d mount the other unit horizontally so i don’t have to drill the wood.
total distance is 30m.
I don’t think rotating drvices at angle would be a problem by itself. However there are at least two (minor?) issues to think about:
- wAP60G uses beam forming, so it can direct main lobe in “optimal” direction. But not in any direction, range span is 60° in horizontal direction and only 30° in vertical direction (relative to normal upright mounting orientation). If you mount device horizontally, then also direction ranges switch and you get only 30° range in horizontal direction and 60° range in vertical direction. Main beam width is 15-20°.
- weatherproofing to certain extent depends on upright mounting. Mounting in horizontal orientation may let more water into device.
Personally I’d consider an L-shaped mounting console due to bullet #2.
thanks. during weekend i installed it the way i was planning and - i didn’t like how it looks on the wood. the wap mount with the metal strap is making it stay too distant from the wood like it’s floating.
i will probably re-mount it somewhere else, but i still want to skip any drilling.
These antennas are single polarization, so all stations would have to be rotated to match the AP, otherwise range will be much shorter. Dual-pol 2x2 MIMO can handle rotation, even non-straight angles (so 45deg dual-slant will work with H/V, and some vendors even mix dual-slant with dual-circular which still has the same math behind it, matrix multiplication but this time with complex numbers).
