Vertical Flat Surface Mounting
For optimum performance when installing multiple CEN-GWEXERs near each other:
•Do not place multiple gateways on the same channel.
•Place gateways at least 15 feet (4.6 meters) apart. For optimum performance when installing a CEN-GWEXER:
•Place gateways at least 15 feet (4.6 meters) from the nearest Wi-Fi® access point.
•Place gateways at least 6 feet (1.8 meters) from the nearest Bluetooth® device.
