The access point comes equipped with all the necessary hardware for mounting on a
wall, including a mounting plate. For a secure installation, the mounting plate should
be placed perpendicular to the floor, with the arrow pointed up, as indicated on the
mounting plate, with the smooth side against the wall.

Install the mounting plate as shown in the following illustration, on either a stud
(or other hard wall surface), or onto drywall.
• Allow for a clearance of at least 25 cm (10 Inches) between the ceiling and the
top of the mounting plate.
• Orient the bracket with the letter “B” at the top of the bracket.
• For installation on a wall stud, install the top screw into the stud, as shown at
left in the illustration, and then vertically align the mounting plate before
installingthe bottom screw.
• For installation on to drywall, mark three screw holes using the mounting plate
as a template for vertical alignment, as shown at right in the illustration above.
• Use a 5-mm (3/16-in.) drill bit if using the plastic anchors provided.
For drywall mounts, you can route the cable through either a side or center
opening for a seamless appearance using one of the methods illustrated below.
CAUTION:
The mounting plate is designed for wall mount installation only. To avoid
equipment damage and possible injury, do not use the mounting plate for a ceiling
installation.

If installing into drywall, use
3 plastic anchors and 3 screws.
If installing into a stud or other
secure vertical surface, use 2 screws.
