plate should be placed perpendicular to the floor, with the arrow pointed up, as indicated on the mounting plate, with the smooth side against the wall. 1 Install the mounting plate as shown in the following illustration, on either a stud (or other hard wall surface), or onto drywall. If installing into a stud or other secure vertical surface, use 2 screws. If installing into drywall, use 3 plastic anchors and 3 screws. I Allow for a clearance of at least 25 cm (10 Inches) between the ceiling and the top of the mounting plate. I Make sure that "UP" is correctly oriented, and align the mounting plate screw holes vertically. I For installation on a wall stud, install the top screw into the stud, as shown at left in the illustration, and then vertically align the mounting plate before installing the bottom screw. I For installation on to drywall, mark three screw holes using the mounting plate as a template for vertical alignment, as shown at right in the illustration above. I Use a 5-mm (3/16-in.) drill bit if using the plastic anchors provided. I For drywall mounts, you can route the cable through either a side or center opening for a seamless appearance using one of the methods illustrated below. Alternatively, you can simply attach the Ethernet cable to the side of the unit, allowing it to trail along the wall. I If you have routed the Ethernet cable through the center opening, secure the cable on the hook located on the mounting plate as shown in the illustration below. 2 Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the access point. 20
