3. If being used in a mesh deployment, the AP should have a line of sight to at least two other Meraki devices. A Cisco Partner and/or site survey can help
ensure that your AP placement is ideal.
Install the AP
For some mounting scenarios, the access point universal mounting bracket provides a quick, simple, and flexible means of mounting your device. The
installation should be done in two steps. First, install the universal mounting bracket to your selected location. Then, attach the AP to the universal mounting
bracket.
If you have purchased the separate articulating bracket accessory, you can mount the AP in other configurations and change directions the AP is facing.
Attaching the Universal Mounting Bracket
The access point universal mounting bracket (AIR-AP-BRACKET-2 - included) can be used to install your access point in a wide range of scenarios including a
wall or solid ceiling, below a drop ceiling, or on various electrical junction boxes.
Wall Mount the AP using Universal Mounting Bracket
To mount the AP on the wall first, identify the location of the wall
1. Use the mounting bracket as a template to mark the locations of the mounting holes on the bracket
2. Use a 0.1360-in. [3.4772 mm] bit to drill a pilot hole at the mounting hole locations you marked.
3. Locate the pilot holes and then insert a fastener(not included) into each mounting hole and tighten.
4. Place the universal mounting bracket over the faster holes and then use screws up to 6 mm in diameter and at least 1 - 1/4 inch length (not included) to
tighten it flush to the wall
