Mount AP320i Vertically on a Wall
The AP320i ships with a ceiling mount bracket already connected to the unit and an additional separate
wall bracket. When wall mounting a unit, you will attach the wall mount bracket to the wall, then
attach the ceiling bracket (including AP320i) to the wall bracket. If you are replacing an AP200 or
AP150, the AP320i wall bracket can be mounted on top of the old bracket using shoulder screws (not
included - see
Installation
replacing an AP300 or third-party brackets such as the Proxim AP4000 bracket and standard Cisco
brackets, the AP320i wall bracket can also be mounted on top of the old bracket (no additional screws
required).
To mount an AP320i on sheetrock or wall studs, follow these steps:
1. Using the wall bracket holes as a guide, mark the location on the wall for two AP bracket mounting
screws. Orient the connected AP300 horizontally so that you can read the Meru logo without tilting
your head at 90 degrees - this orientation provides optimum MIMO performance.

If possible, center the mounting screws on a wall stud. If you do not center the mounting screws on a
wall stud, use plastic wall anchors.
2. Drill holes at the locations you marked:
3/16-inch holes if you are using plastic anchors
—
1/8-inch holes if you are using only the screws
—
3. If you are using plastic anchors, install them in the holes.
4. Screw in the screws most of the way.
5. Mount the bracket on the screws, placing the circular portion of the keyhole mounts over the screw
heads and sliding the bracket down.
