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 far apart to slide on properly using the default holes. Using the mounting brackets is to no avail because no T-bar and the screw holes are way too close (unless I’m doing in wrong). What should i do? Is there some bracket converter I can buy?

Re: WAX610 ceiling mount incompatibility and advice
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?

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.

I think I’ll try some hobby wood and drill into it…
