Flush Mounting on a Wall Without Mount Brackets
You can flush mount the antenna on a wall. For this, you will need to discard the articulating mount flange brackets from the
installation.
NOTE: The following procedure describes how to mount the antenna on a drywall. If you intend to install your antenna on another
surface other than a drywall, the following procedure may vary slightly and you should procure the necessary hardware.
1.
Remove the articulating mount flange bracket that comes attached to the back of the antenna.
2.
Determine the location where you will mount the antenna.
3.
Use the antenna as a template to mark the location of the four mounting holes. See
4.
Using a drill and #29 drill bit, drill four holes at the locations you have marked in 3.. For drywall installations a #29 (0.136 inch
or 45 mm) drill bit is enough. Other surfaces may require a different size.
5.
Insert 8-inch plastic wall anchors into each hole.
6.
Using a mallet or small hammer, properly seat the plastic anchors into the wall.
7.
Align the antenna's mounting holes with the anchors.
8.
Insert an 8 x 1¼-inch screw, through each mounting hole and into its anchor.
9.
Tighten the screws using a Phillips screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
10.
Connect the antenna cables to the access point. The antenna ports are labeled A through D. Connect the antenna port A
to connector A on the access point, antenna port B to connector B on the access point, and so on.
