I don't even need to know any of this. This guy just explains stuff so well I just love watching them and learning fun stuff.

Great video once again. To avoid above the ceiling AP's I tell the architects, bosses and so forth that I cant troubleshoot without being able to watch the LED's on the AP. Technically not the whole truth about troubleshooting Wi-Fi. But it works.

Ceiling tiles are thermal insulators, and most APs are designed to be passively cooled. It is easy to run into overheating issues when the APs are above the ceiling.

If you put the APs (WAPS) above the ceilings, the farads running around on top of the tiles will chew through the patch cables.

A few months ago, I mounted an AP on the bottom side of an air duct for a similar reason. If I had mounted it on the ceiling (no drop ceiling), there would have been air ducts between the AP and part of the coverage area.

Excellent, to the client i will sugges to put it correctly as it is easier for troubleshooting and better avoiding some attenuation and bounces from materials above the ceiling that could affect the performance.

The only thing worse than putting APs above the ceiling tiles is people putting Microphones above the ceiling tiles.

Surprising people are so stupid as to request this installation. Then again, perhaps not so surprising. Some multipath is needed from what I understand, but not too much. MIMO relies on it from what I understand.
