Figures in this section use generic icons. The ZyXEL Device in the picture is not an exact
representation of your device.
In general, the best location for the access point is at the center of your intended wireless
coverage area. For better performance, mount the NWA high up in an area that is free of
obstructions.
Wall-mounting
Do the following to attach your NWA to a wall.
1 Screw the two screws provided with your NWA into the wall 140mm apart (see the
figure in step 3). Use screws with 6mm ~ 8mm (0.24" ~ 0.31") wide heads. Do not
screw the screws all the way in to the wall; leave a small gap between the head of the
screw and the wall.
The gap must be big enough for the screw heads to slide into the screw slots and the
connection cables to run down the back of the NWA.
Make sure the screws are securely fixed to the wall and strong enough to
hold the weight of the NWA with the connection cables.
2 Align the holes on the back of the NWA with the screws on the wall. Hang the NWA on
the screws.
You can also use the optional Ceiling Mount Kit (sold separately) to mount
the NWA on a ceiling instead of a wall.
