Note: You can also mount the HiveAP 100 series device to a solid ceiling—or the underside of any horizontal
object such as a cross beam—using three #6 or #8 screws. Position the three screws in a T-shaped layout:
two screws 2" (5 cm) apart from each other and the third screw center-aligned between them and 4.75" (12
cm) away. Then attach the HiveAP to the screws as explained in
"Surface Mount" on page 87 .
