Mounting Plate The Mounting Plate offers a variety of mounting holes for different applications. The legend printed on the Mounting Plate identifies the holes used for each application. Upgrade from UAP‑AC‑PRO The UAP‑XG is compatible with the UAP‑AC‑PRO mounting hardware, so you only need to remove the UAP‑AC‑PRO and replace it with the UAP‑XG.
Hardware Installation The UniFi AP can be mounted on a wall, ceiling tile, drop ceiling T‑rail (up to 40 mm), or electrical junction box. Perform the steps for the appropriate installation. Note for UniFi AP replacement: The holes marked “A” on the Mounting Plate line up with the holes of mounting brackets used for previous UniFi AP models.
