A wireless access point includes, in one embodiment, circuitry with a
radio transceiver that determines substantially optimal antenna
orientation for one or more radio hosts with which an access point is in
communication. Received RF signals are down-converted to baseband
frequencies and produced to a baseband processor. At least one received
signal strength indicator provides signal strength measurements for
received communication channels to the baseband processor in the
described embodiment. The baseband processor produces control signals to
prompt the user to orient at least one antenna into a specified location.
In one embodiment, logic prompts the user to move the antenna into a
plurality of positions and then evaluates signal strength indication in
each position to determine an overall substantially optimal orientation
for all of the radio transceivers in communication with the access point.
