  2. Drill 6mm holes and insert wall anchors
  3. Secure the bracket to the wall with self-tapping screws
  4. Align the EAP with the bracket and slide it into place
  5. Connect antennas and position them at 45-degree angles

3. Connect Cables

  1. Remove the interface cover
  2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN port (shielded CAT5e or above recommended)
  3. Insert the waterproof rubber insert for weatherproofing
  4. Replace the cover securely
