Choosing Mounting Hardware

Access point mounting hardware consists of:
- Brackets, which fasten to the bottom of the access point, and
- Ceiling grid clips, which fasten the bracket to a tile ceiling system.

You choose a bracket depending on the ceiling or wall where you want to mount the access point, and you choose ceiling clips depending on your ceiling type.

New Green
Note: New options have been provided to exclude a bracket or a clip. Select this option when a bracket or ceiling clip is not needed due to re-use of existing mounting hardware or use of alternative mounting options Choosing
