Mounting the WS-AP3825 to a Wall or Solid Ceiling

Screws for attaching the AP to a wall or solid ceiling are supplied with the product. Use the following procedure to mount the AP3825 to a flat wall.
  1. Determine the spot where the AP is to be mounted, preferably high up on the wall (near the ceiling for maximum radio wave dispersion) but in reach of the Ethernet cable and a wall power outlet if you are not able to use Power over Ethernet.
  2. Drill two holes in the wall to match the center of the two keyhole slots in the back of the AP. The location of the holes is depicted in Drilling Template for Wall Mounting (measurements are in millimeters). For a tight fit, the holes should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the provided plastic anchors.

  3. Tap the plastic anchors into the holes with a hammer until they are flush with the wall, and screw the provided mounting screws into the anchors, with the head protruding 1/16" from the anchor.
  4. Place the back of the AP against the wall with the protruding mounting screw heads fitting through the keyhole slots on the back of the AP, and slide the AP down until the AP rests on the mounting screw heads. Mounting the WS-AP3825 to a Flat Wall or Solid Ceiling shows an exploded view of this mounting method.
