Abstract
A system includes a plurality of access point devices (APs) configured to provide a wireless network at a site, each of the plurality of APs having a known location, and a network management system comprising one or more processors and a memory comprising instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to: determine, based on a known location of a first AP of the plurality of APs, a known location of a second AP of the plurality of APs, and received signal strength measurements of wireless signals originating at one or more antennas of the first AP and received by one or more antennas of the second AP, an orientation angle of the second AP; and generate an output indicative of the orientation angle of the second AP.
