*Numbers of connections, coverage, etc are estimates based on estimates of usage. Actual AP capacity and reach can be higher in
correct circumstances
** Wall mounting not recommended for AP-205, 215, 225 except in specific circumstances. Product is designed for ceiling mounting.
*** POE+ recommended, can operate via PoE but reduces 2.4 GHz coverage. Single power injectors and adapters available at extra cost
Single power injectors and AC adapters available, POE £31.50 e.a, POE+ £50.50 e.a.
