these instructions to mount the AP to drywall or an electrical box:
Step
1 For the NetVanta 161 only: Install the antennas (sold separately) onto an appropriate antenna
port on the AP. The antenna ports are labeled 2.4G 1 through 3 or 5G 1 through 3.
2 Using the thumb screws only, carefully thread the antenna onto the appropriate connector until it
is secure. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the each antenna.
3 Mounting to drywall: Install the four supplied drywall anchors into the wall or ceiling in the A and B
positions, using the holes in the plastic mounting bracket as a template.
4 Insert the four supplied screws through the plastic mounting bracket (in the A and B positions)
into the drywall anchors and tighten.
5 Mounting to a U.S. electrical box: Insert two of the four supplied screws through the plastic
