Can I install the U6-Pro on the already existing mounts of UAP-AC-PRO? If not, is there any Wifi6 compatible transmitter that can use these mounts? Would be great to clarify mount backwards compatibility in the installation instructions.

I have bought a Udm wall by spending some 1200 bucks. Also 2 unify accespoint 6e enterprise version one unify express, after a massive wifi hacking by some unknown remote actions. originally the ISP gave their own modem (Speedprt pro with hybrid option from telekom). But then I want to use only Udm wall as main modem and router. I plugged in the DSL cable to Udm wall, but nothing is being recognised...I am not a professional, but I really want this to work and have a secure connection.pleae help..where am I doing wrong..I want to give up the ISP modem

This might work well if you have drop ceiling, but in most homes you would still need to make sure that if the cable comes from the ceiling, you would have to insulate around the cable, so there isn't a cold draft. So you would install a cable box as if it was a electrical wirering.
@ghanus2009
@ghanus2009 2 жыл бұрын
The mounting plate has screw holes to attach to a single gang box. Its not necessary and not used in drop ceilings, for the hole you drill is not that big to cause a draft, however it may be a return air plenum anyway, therefore plenum-rated ethernet cable would be required. For regular wall or ceiling mount through drywall, you can use dry wall anchors. These APs are not heavy.

Imagine posting a youtube video that only concentrates on drop ceilings, knowing that most people viewing the video are mounting it in their homes with drywall ceilings. No company would be that clueless, would they? If you are going into drywall, use the metal backplate to identify which holes to use. Drill each hole 3/8" then re-drill to 1/2" so you can use 3/16" toggle bolts. You probably don't need to use all 5, you could just do 2 or 3 spaced around the perimeter. Each toggle bolt is rated to 238lbs on 1/2" thick drywall, so again, just 2 or 3 should be overkill enough to be safe. No box, no blocking. Google "Toggler 3/16" toggle bolts"
