This may sound strange but I was wondering if I were to mount my AirPort Express vertically on my wall will effect direction of beaming signal?

I am extending my AirPort Extreme home network with an AirPort Express and was wondering if I mounted the Express vertically on the wall will the signal beam be affected?

When the Express is mounted in its normal horizontal orientation, most of the signal moves out and upward from the Express in an spherical, expanding balloon type manner.

If you mount the Express vertically on a wall, you can conclude how the signal will change. There won't be much signal "behind" the Express.
