Installation

VigorAP can be installed under certain locations: wooden ceiling, plasterboard ceilings, and light-weighted steel frame.

Ceiling-mount Installation (Wooden Ceiling)

  1. Place the bracket under the wooden ceiling and fasten four screws firmly.
  2. When the bracket is in place, fasten two screws firmly on the bottom of VigorAP.
  3. Secure the access point firmly in place using the included screw.

Ceiling-mount Installation (Plasterboard Ceiling)

  1. Drill four holes in your ceiling using the ceiling mount bracket as a guide, and insert the four included wall plugs/screw anchors.
  2. Align the ceiling mount bracket with your wall plugs/screw anchors and use the four screws to fix it into place.
  3. When the bracket is in place, fasten two screws firmly on the bottom of VigorAP.
  4. Secure the access point firmly in place using the included screw.

Suspended Ceiling Installation
You cannot screw into ceiling tiles as they are weak and not suitable for bearing loads. Your VigorAP is supplied with mounts (T-Rail brackets) which attach directly to the metal grid (‘T-Rail’) of your suspended ceiling.

  1. Choose the correct size T-Rail bracket from the bundled package.
  2. Put the T-Rail brackets on the holes of the bottom side of the device. Fasten them with suitable screws.
  3. Secure the access point firmly in place using the included screw as shown below.
  4. Clip the access point onto your T-Rail using the now attached T-Rail bracket.
  5. Attach the T-Rail brackets to the ceiling frame.
    Note If a larger gap is required between the ceiling and the VigorAP, use the extension pieces to extend the height of the brackets.
