I always cringe when I see indoor Access Points installed vertically on walls. Yes, I know this is supported on some models, but I always try to mount them horizontally. Sometimes the ceiling is too high or consists of a material like metal or cement that you can't install the AP to and you have to mount the AP on the wall. Here's a wall mount kit from Ventev that I have been using to install APs on a wall.
The holes on the AP mounting bracket for the new indoor CW916X APs and traditional Cisco APs doesn't line up with the holes on the wall mount kit, so I had to drill a couple of holes in the AP bracket to get it connected correctly. Easily done.
The wall mount kit can mount directly to a wall or to an outlet box already installed in a wall.
This model has a cover that flips up so you can access the inside of the kit to mount it to the wall.
I only use this kit on wood or sheet rock walls. You should not mount this on a metal wall as too much of the wireless signal will likely be reflected back quickly to the AP.
The installed kit and AP look very professional in my opinion.
You don't have to drill holes to use that mount.... use the adjustable t-grid clip and install it on the center rail/rib of the ventev bracket that's how ventev designed and what that rib is actually for.
Yep, fully agree. Wall mounted APs give me the shivers.
Can’t remember where we sourced these from but they did the job.
