WAX610 ceiling mount incompatibility and advice
Hello, I got pre-installed AP drops in my new house. I bought some NETGEAR WAX610 APs and I’m trying to mount them, but it seems like i don’t have a compatible fit. The holes are just 1/8” too fa...
Hi, not sure if it is noticable in my photos, but the celling is a wide drop and the AP mounting plate is very small--smaller than the AP's mount holes. Maybe I can fashion a thin piece of wood and put holes in it? I worry about the heat though so not sure if that is the best approach.
There is also a mounting plate supplied with the WAX 610 - I would make these two holes "fit" to this plate, and clip the WAX on it.
Thanks again for your response. Unless I am missing it, I do not think a mounting plate comes. All the accessories I have are in the OP images. Per NETGEAR guide for WAX610: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/WAX610/WAX610_IG_EN.pdf
Looks like it does not. Can I buy one somewhere?
- There are two mounting brackets in fact....
Mounting bracket with screw holes for
mounting to a solid ceiling or 15/16 in.
(23.8 mm) T-bar.
Thats the obe which should be adopted in my opinion.- The brackets are much, much smaller than the mounting holes. There’s no way to modify the bracket to enlarge the space between the holes. If it was a plate i imagine I’d be a mounting platform that i could drill holes into.
I think I’ll try some hobby wood and drill into it…
