How far should access points be installed apart for maximum wireless coverage?

To achieve maximum wireless coverage with access points, they should be installed far enough apart to avoid interference. This distance ensures that the signal from one access point does not adversely affect the signals from others, which can happen when access points are too close together. Interference can lead to degraded performance, increased latency, and a poor user experience. By strategically spacing access points, a network can maintain optimal performance while providing broader coverage.

Other options suggest either excessive proximity or recommend configurations that would likely lead to signal overlap and interference, which ultimately hinders the effectiveness of the network.
