hi @Bertontangu 

datasheet for MR45 below, coverage etc will depend on the environment into which they’re going

Hey,

The coverage will depend on other radio sending devices on the channels/band, how the physical environment is like what kind of walls, any obstacles etc. It's almost more important to have devices capable of sending back traffic to the accesspoint rather then the accesspoint itself sending out radio waves.

Wifi planning and design is a huge topic that we can discuss in hours.

Here are the datasheet for MR45:

Look at the Antenna section, 5.4 dBi gain at 2.4 GHz and 6 dBi gain at 5 GHz.

I personally wouldn't place any client farther than 15 meters from the accesspoint, but the accesspoint itself would be capable of sending out farther than that.

Ah ok 

The environement influent highly for the installation and i can decide the distance enter two AP.

Thanks

I normally allow for a 15m radius circle in open air for good performance.
