About the Rotating Mounting Bracket Kit
This instruction sheet explains how to mount the rotating mounting
bracket and then how to install the MobileLANaccess WA21 or the
MobileLANaccess 2100 in the bracket. After you install the access point
in the bracket, you can secure it with a lock to prevent unauthorized
access. Using the bracket also lets you access the access point without
having to completely remove the access point from its mounting location.

drywall reinforcement such as drywall anchors.
You need the following tools and materials to mount the bracket:

screws should be appropriate for the surface on which you are mounting
the bracket.

You may need additional common hand tools and mounting hardware,
