The Cisco 702W looks very promising for our dorm rooms that are very limited due to legacy infrastructure and I can't wait to try these out. Anyone know an approximate cost on those yet? Even though Cisco recommends you mount most AP's horizontally, I have mounted many vertical about 8 feet high onto drywall with wire mold in dorm rooms and just use a small keyed alike master lock to secure it. I haven't noticed any negative impact on vertical vs. horizontal yet, but 95% of ours are mounted horizontally.

It should work with anything that uses twist-clips for mounting on a ceiling grid. The ones I get are 1/2" wide, so the clips slide on but are very snug. The local hardware store has them in white and black, which has been fine for the few locations I've needed them, though it would cost to much more to spray paint them the necessary color. Plus they are several times cheaper than what the vendors are pointing me to. -- Heath Barnhart, CCNA ITS Network Administrator Washburn University 785-670-2307 -----Original Message----- From: Craig Eyre <[email protected]> Reply-to: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Horizontal AP mounting options Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2013 09:10:41 -0600 We just used an L bracket and attached it to the original mounting plate that came with the ap.
