Hi Jim,

I don't "know," but given that the WA of WAP suggest strongly of
maximum coverage (which is antithetical to horizontal gain antennas
with nulls), vertical polarization would seem a good bet.

This does not limit you to having a vertical gain antenna (with
nulls), in fact it could be a speed advantage (cutting down on phase
errors lowering through-put). Simple enough to tilt your antenna to
find out which orientation does the job (once you know where the base
station is, that is).
