Mount AP300 on a Wall
Note: If you are replacing AP150s, you can use the existing brackets: the AP150 and AP300
use the same bracket. If you are replacing AP200s, the AP300 bracket can be attached to the
old bracket with shoulder screws (see Appendix A); you don’t have to remove the old brackets.
The AP300 ships with the mounting bracket attached. To mount an AP300 on a wall:
1. Using the bracket holes as a guide, mark the location on the wall for the two AP bracket
mounting screws. If possible, center the mounting screws on a wall stud. If you do not
center the mounting screws on a wall stud, use plastic wall anchors.
2. Drill holes at the locations you marked:
— 3/16-inch holes if you are using plastic anchors
— 1/8-inch holes if you are using only the screws
3. If you are using plastic anchors, install them in the holes.
4. Screw in the screws most of the way.
5. Mount the bracket on the screws, placing the circular portion of the keyhole mounts over
the screw heads and sliding the bracket down.
6. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the AP300 Ethernet port shown in Figure 7.
