Before you begin

The following hardware is required for direct-to-wall installations:
  • An indoor access point
  • One AH-ACC-BKT-AX-WL bracket
  • Three M3.5 screws and three screw-in anchors, shipped with the -WL bracket

About this task

The AH-ACC-BKT-AX-WL bracket is for users who already have the -WL bracket. For new wall installations, order either the -TB or -JB bracket.

  2. Bring the LAN cable from the wall through the bracket hole.
    Align the cable before attaching the bracket to the wall.

    A standard Ethernet cable can be used if you do not mind the cable being visible. To hide the Ethernet cable, a flat cable and a cable cap are required.
  3. Attach the wall bracket to the wall using three M3.5 screws and three screw-in anchors.
  4. Align the access point red dot against the three red dots on the -WL bracket.
