An access point includes an access point body and a circuit board supported by the access point body and optionally configured to provide a residential gateway to a network. The circuit board includes a plurality of multi-dipole antennas connected to the circuit board and arranged around a longitudinal axis defined by the circuit board. The access point also includes a reflector disposed on the circuit board and a directional antenna connected to the circuit board and arranged adjacent to the reflector.

A method of controlling a temperature of a femtocell includes receiving, at data processing hardware of the femtocell, temperature measurements from a temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature of at least one of the data processing hardware or a power amplifier of the femtocell. The method further includes determining, by the data processing hardware, whether the femtocell is operating above a threshold temperature based on the temperature measurements. When the femtocell is operating above the threshold temperature, the method includes modifying, by the data processing hardware, a power consumption characteristic of the femtocell that results in a power consumption reduction of at least one of the data processing hardware or the power amplifier.

The present disclosure is directed to antenna arrangements. In particular, an arrangement can include at least three antennas. A first and second of the antennas can be positioned such that signals they emit cancel each other out at a physical space comprising a third of the antennas. Additionally or alternatively, an arrangement can include at least two antennas. A first of the antennas can comprise at least two signal-emitting portions positioned such that signals they emit cancel each other out at a physical space comprising a second of the antennas.
