Get a site survey done.

so this is not depend on AP model?

It is, but there are a lot of factors you need to consider placing an access-point or selecting the antenna's. So I'm going with the others; please hire someone to help you with this and ask him everything you want to know. Afterwards you probably will be surprised that some wireless networks even work...

Whatever you do, don't do it like the examples you can find on Bad-Fi 😉

Actually , if RF site survey is done, which involves inspection of building, floor plans, facilities and the Interference zones and levels, in order to ensure proper and clean access/ coverage available in the site.And then you plan the placement of access points/ antenna according to the data of RF survey.

If you have to pick one orientation, it would be "ceiling". But if it is a huge room with a very high ceiling that is probably the wrong choice. Mounted flat on a wall, you'll send half the energy up to the next floor. Generally that is not what you want. In a single floor building where we have APs positioned for capacity rather than coverage, throwing away half the signal is OK and we will mount on the wall if it's convenient.  Rooms with high ceilings tend to be sort of high touch like auditoriums, so appearance is important.

I think you better do a survey first and check the tool below which is tested and give you the accurate position for mounting LAP.
