Patent ID: 7133645

Claim:
A wireless access point comprising: a receiver section that is configured to receive an incoming RF signal, and wherein the receiver section down-converts the incoming RF signal to produce an incoming baseband signal and wherein the receiver section is configured to determine a received signal strength; a transmitter section that is configured to receive an outgoing baseband signal, and wherein the transmitter section up-converts the outgoing baseband signal to produce an outgoing RF signal; at least one adjustable antenna; a first set of lights for indicating desired antenna rotation for the at least one of the adjustable antenna wherein the first set of lights further comprises first and second groups of lights to indicate a rotational position for the first and second adjustable antennas, respectively, into which a user is to place the first and second adjustable antennas; a second set of lights for indicating received signal strength for the at least one adjustable antenna wherein a number of illuminated lights increases as signal strength increases; wherein the first and second groups of lights are circularly orientated; a logic coupled to activate the first and second sets of lights to direct a user to direct the at least one adjustable antenna in a substantially optimal orientation based upon the received signal strength; first and second adjustable antennas that are adjustable in a horizontally planar direction and in an upwardly extending planar direction; and wherein the first set of lights comprises first and second groups of lights for indicating antenna orientation for the first and second adjustable antennas, respectively.
