Yes I would like to do this, but the building is pointy one and doesn't have any horizontal beam. So I have to find second best placement.I would say in the center of the area (ceiling mount) facing down..........
5m good ? The stuff inside the building is just a workshop and doesn't have any concrete or high partition, pretty much open space from 5m point of view :D6m above ground will be too high in my opinion.
it all depends on your needs. You PHY speeds will be lower, maybe that will be enough for you..I suggest you to try one AP out.Yes I would like to do this, but the building is pointy one and doesn't have any horizontal beam.

Most of the user is in the front side of the building. In case if it is not enough I thought of just adding one at the front and one at the back

WiFi extension is not the greatest thing to do, if you can run wires. Quick advice.Hi thanks for the advice.
Yes on one of the building I have installed two AP in SE and SW around 4m above ground, with SE extend from SW AP.
I see some undesireable effect, the signal kind of bumping each other that cause some inteference in some part of the building. I use a signal range rule in capsman so if it is bad then kick the client and let the client choose next best signal.
While I can separate the channel, I need that feature for signal distinction between building, we have same 8 building like this adjacent to each other :(. And since I can only use 2.4Ghz ( many old device ) I only limited to 3 channel ( 1, 6 ,11 ) only, I think I'll reserve it for this.
This is why I try to put in the AP in West wall facing East, so as to not disturb the other building signal. The wall is shared and not that thick between building.
The above ground height is needed around 4m cause the West part is a tall door and I can only place it above the door.
Thats the theory though, I'll try to test it.
Yep we will always use wires. Unless it is to far away that I have to use point 2 point.WiFi extension is not the greatest thing to do, if you can run wires. Quick advice.
I'm never do spectral scan, not sure how to do it. I know routeros have the function to scan, but to do it for an area does it mean we have to move around in that area to sampling the signal ?I hope you adjust TX gain on APs. It is hard to say what is going on you premises, a proper spectral scan would be the best thing to identify issues, but if AP signal is issue then reduced gain will improve signal quality.
my previous instalment is 5m but since nobody complain so I'm not sure about the effectiveness :D4m will be fine, most likely.
On far away situations fiber optics would be he best solution, but I understand that it can be very pricey. If network speed and stability is good enough then why not to use P2P.Yep we will always use wires.
