The wireless performance is likely compromised as a result of the AP having metal walls surrounding three sides of it.

Usually the UniFi dome APs propagate their signal in a kinda bubble shape up and out. I think he should be OK unless he’s on a top floor.

UniFi has an app called WiFiMan that’s easy to use for checking signal strength.

The bubble shape still is affected by his setup.

I had the same complained and would not put my AC in such close proximity to metal sheets.

It would also be an easy fix to just turn it around and put the AP on the bottom after rotating the metal frame

Perhaps a better way to put it would be to flip the top shelf upside-down.

Or just run some cable and don’t put the AP on the rack.
