Before buying an outdoor access point in Sandton, complete a site survey and plan safe exterior cabling. Walls, glass, neighbouring networks, elevation and client devices determine coverage. Maximum range claims do not describe a particular property.

Map the radio path

Mark users, obstacles and mounting points. Measure signal and interference at busy times, then test a temporary position. Confirm whether a broad access point, mesh node or point-to-point bridge fits the problem. Plan outdoor-rated cable, PoE, grounding and surge protection with competent help.

Check landlord or body-corporate permission before drilling. Weather rating, antenna pattern and client return power matter. Indoor hardware under an eave is not automatically protected.

Sandton properties may have dense neighbouring Wi-Fi use. Survey more than one channel and time of day, and include the client return signal in the test. An access point that transmits far may still fail to hear a phone at the edge.

Exterior access points can require maintenance after storms. Plan safe access to the mount and document cable routes so inspection does not become hazardous.

No outdoor access-point SKU or verified price appears in the supplied facts. The Cudy AP3000 ceiling access point is verified at R899 but is not evidence of outdoor suitability. Confirm enclosure, PoE, management, warranty and support.
