Do I need antenna on external AP

[H.Al-Tahan1]

Hi,

I need to install an access point in a customers office in my organization. This is only a temporary install so only want to be able to provide coverage for about 3 medium size rooms adjacent to each other. I have an old Cisco 3602E AP but do not have any antennas. Will these model of AP provide coverage without having to attach antennas to them.

I have found 3rd party websites claim that these APs have integrated antennas but wanted to be 100% before installing it or look into purchasing new antennas.

Many thanks

Hello H.Al-Tahan1.

I suggest you try to test the distance between walls, and if you don´t have the required distance you can add a antenna, here is the link of the data sheet of your ap http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/aironet-3600-series/data_sheet_c78-686782.html, in this link you can check the diferents antenna models for your device.

Greetings!
