I m new to the world of ubiquiti.
Ubiquiti unifi remove wall mount.
What are the pros and cons of the two options.
Hi i have mounted a unifi ap ac onto the ceiling mounting bracket with the cat6 cable connected.
The round unifi access points have a locking feature to ensure a secure and anti theft hold to the wall mount.
Is there a pin somewhere i need to depress to release the lock.
In order to release an ap slide a flat thin object firm zip ties are the community favorite into the locking notch of the ap opposite of the cable feed hole and twist counterclockwise.
Ideal for new or retrofit installations the unifi ac in wall is designed to convert an ethernet wall jack into a dual band 802 11ac wi fi access point with two gigabit ethernet ports.
For a home installation is there any difference between the two.

So if i were to place one on a ceiling i d want it near the center of the area i want to cover this is not necessarily the center of the entire area facing down.
If i were to wall mount i d want to mount it at the edge and facing inward of the area i want to cover.
One of the ports provides poe for powering and connecting an 802 3af device to the network.
I ve been using a us 8 60w switch for a week now and setup a raspberry pi to run the cloud key software.
This is another thing that the manual is silent on.
If you orient them on a wall they will radiate in the vertical.
I just took the plunge to convert to a full unifi system currently using two asus routers.
I guess this depends somewhat on the directionality if any of the radio.
Now i need to unmount to touch up the hole i have drilled for the cat6 cable but the unifi ap ac is so tightly slotted into the bracket.
For a ceiling mout will you get a decent signal on the.
The zip tie or similar needs to be firm enough to lift the latch away from the uap and allow the ap to twist.
