This is a quick post sharing a technique that I use when I need to label AP location on ceilings while performing a site survey. I don't really like using stepladder as they are not convenient to carry around. They also draw a lot of attention and can be too big, disrupting the customer environment.
When I am performing an AP-on-a-stick survey, I use a paint pole in order to mount a temporary AP. It is light and convenient. Here is the one I use: Mr. Long Arm 3212 Pro-Pole Extension Pole, 6 to 12 feet.
So I use the same pole to label ceilings for future AP's location. Here is how I do it in 8 steps:
1 – Print Out Your Label (I Use a Portable P-Touch)
2 – Peal Out the Back of the Sticker
3 – Lightly Stick One Edge of the Label to the Top of the Pole
4 – Lightly Stick the Other Edge on the Other Side of the Top of the Pole
5 – Choose the Location on Ceiling
6 – Stick the Label at the Desired Location
7 – Apply Pressure in the Center of the Label
8 – Apply Pressure on the Sides Finishing Sticking the Label
Hopefully, this will be helpful for you as well.
Here you go guys. It takes a little bit of practice to master the act but it is not complicated at all. If you are having a hard time doing step 8, try twisting the pole a little bit and it should do the job.
