Good, thorough explanation. Also..."sweep the dust into the dustpan". The man leaves no question unanswered.
It's pretty amazing to me that almost 7 years later, we are still getting feedback on this video. Absolutely amazing for a video that was created simply out of our annoyance.
I guess our understanding and edification of such a difficult topic make us unique in our field!
Thank you for the video Mr.Brian, I wish i had teachers as you who is telling things clearly.
Probably because 2 generations later, the latest 9120APs use the same mounts which makes it nice when upgrading, you don't have to remove the old mounts.
@@jado4me You explained it very well. For someone who has never done it before, this takes a lot of stress away.
VERY detailed, I need to install 10 of these units today and they didn't come with any diagram or instructions. I loved the 11:36 remark: clean up. Thank you.
Good demonstration and explanation with all the needed details.
Very calming to watch
Probably one of the best instructional videos I've watched, thank you!
Awesome video - never installed a ceiling clip on this kind of AP but I'm getting ready to - excellent & thank you!
Thanks a lot. I completed my first installation today~!
I just love watching men do handy projects..
RealBeautiful Beauty same here because I'm gay
First stepping stone to learn wireless ... Well explained Sir...
Excellent video. Would have taken me hours to figure out. Thanks !
thank you brother. Couldn't make it more clear.
Thanks for the video. Getting ready to install two...now I just need a ladder. haha.
It is very detail. Thanks for your afford!
That hole for the cord though. :-)
Hi there, thanks a lot for tutorial... I finally know how to install Cisco AP correctly to the ceiling in the office... very detailed/explained what bracket is for what purpose... have a nice day :)
Hi what model name of bracket and ceiling mount do I need for AIR-CAP3702I-Z-K9
"As we're lined up on the b hole." LOLed at that one.
Wow, ur video is amazing, thanks I have a work in this week and mount this AP. Thanks.
Thank you very much, the explanation is best. it's clear and to the point
👍👍👍
You made things so easy for me...
Lovely video and calm in your explanation
nicely presented along with safety norms
thanks. I was installing my first access point today. I was wondering how it go up on the ceiling.
Hi, friend. If I don't have the Cisco base. It can be placed face up or in its position on a table
Czeka nas montaż 50 sztuk. Dzięki za film. Pozdrawiam z Polski :)
I was cursing Cisco for not including any installation instructions. They should just print a link to your video in the box. 😀
Спасибо, тебе, добрый человек!
Всё понятно и доступно объяснил как крепить.
Very Nice & informative video - thanks for sharing
So I'm assuming you are using power over Ethernet? Also do you have to update the firmware before you use the router?
That what I was looking for. Thanks a lot!!!
Thanks a lot!! MAY THE PEACE
Installed many an access point. But I've always wondered what that strange plastic scoop thing I've seen in the kitchen at home was for. Thanks to 11:55 I now know!
:D :D :D
Only one dust pan and dust broom? Is this right?
Thank you for explanation!. great video!
thanks!! much better than the cisco site!
BEST god damn instructions ever....you guys rock thanks for doing this video
you save my day wish you the best
Great video man.. but wow.. you must be a real fun guy to hang around with..
For some reason, I thought, "He reminds me of Dilbert," when I saw and heard him speak. 🤣
Классное видео! Очень детально. Спасибо мужик.
Glad you remembered to clean up :)
What is the big screw used for? It was in the bag with the four mounting screws. thanks
GoProspecting That would be your ground wire screw if you choose to use it.
Great video! really usefu
After installing a drop ceiling last week and getting the shit in my eye, i can confirm it does create a dangerous situation. I needed to go to urgent care for a pretty bad scratch on my cornea. Wear safety glasses..
great video man !!! thanks for that !!!
It was informative. Thumb up :)
Great video. Thank you~
2 things. 1) whenever possible it would be best to install the AP at the intersection of the ceiling grid where a grid wire securing the grid to the true ceiling is located. This puts the weight of the AP where the grid support system is. This also allows you to just clip the corner of the ceiling tile rather than carve out a notch. 2) why are you using a mounting plate that came with the model 1242 so many years ago? The newer and better mounting plate with more hole configurations and mounting options came out with the model 3502 and that was 2 generations back of Cisco APs.
Even with minimal wire support, a drop tile railing can support 15-20# without worry. The 3702 weighs approximately 3# in the mounting configuration shown, so we're not at all concerned about the stress on the ceiling. More importantly is ensuring you secure the grid clip with the tiny flat head screw to prevent sliding, and finally locking the AP to the mounting bracket by using the security loop in the back. We elected to use a simple zip tie here as we're not particularly worried about having them locked on to the ceiling.
Not sure what you're talking about with the mounting plates... We are using the included low profile mounting plate. The 1252's that these are replacing utilized the universal mounting plate that I think you are referencing, however being the 3702 has internal antennas, we prefer they be exposed to offer the best line of sight coverage. Our 1252's were mounted to the walls above the ceiling with the antennas clipped to the drop tile ceiling rail. We looked in to another exposed ceiling mount option for the 3702, but this required a hole the size of the AP itself to be cut in to the ceiling tile. Too much labor and time spent for what it's worth aesthetically.
I thought it was supposed to be a "small" notch in the ceiling tile ... lol
for those that read this, cut a hole that is a triangle /\ that way the area going out from the grid rail is smaller.
That is one dirty notch. It's huge.
@@scottluebke5012 Yeah, he should have slid the access point a bit to cover that up, then it wouldn't have mattered.
Hola amigo. Si no tengo la base se puede colocar boca arriba o cual es su postura en una mesa
the best instructional videos
Thanks my friend
Thanks helped alot
What would you need to mount to drywall ceiling for residential use?
The base plate has low profile mounting holes in it to secure to any flat surface via screws. Then the AP slides on to it.
sorry n00b question. how does this thing get it's power? I didn't see any power plug being plugged in.
Robbie Blaylock PoE.
Use a PoE (Power over Ethernet) switch or PoE injector. This runs power through the Ethernet cable so you don't have to have a power cord. If you're asking that question, read up on Cisco WLAN - this setup he is doing is part of a much more difficult Cisco infrastructure. Not for the n00bs.
thanks. I am just thinking about installing an access point in my new townhouse when it is completed and want to make sure I am not missing anything
So if you needed a power supply you wouldn’t be able to do this?
thnx , vey usefull
You ruined the tile, doing that "little notch" hahaha
But great video mate.
is there a chance you all will post the video of the removal of the 1242 access point?
Sorry... those have all been long gone now.
спасибо тебе за это видео!!!! ты помог нам очень сильно
"as they are lined up with the b hole..." oh man i got a small chuckle. great video though
Me too. Hahah
LOL. I just posted the same thing before reading this.
Haha, I KNEW that line was going to get some comments! 🤣
Hey my mom bought the cisco 2600 and we dont have an ASA 5550 can it turn on with out it using the 48vdc power cable ?
You'll need a PoE switch or a supported power injector to put in line. Also, so long as it's a SAP model and not a CAP model, you'll be able to configure via telnet or web interface.
How much does the PoE go for ??
Devil D6 You should be able to find one on Amazon or eBay for less that $25.
Link One ?

Thank you
olar can not route my cisco router model WRVS 4400N v2 so that I am in Brazil what to do?
+ramalio francisco Move...? LOL! What?
I would like to know how to remove the access point. Is there a method to sliding it back out of the locking place? Video on this?
Just slides forward out of the mount. It holds on by a locking ball bearing. There is also a square security loop hole that we used zip ties to hold the AP on "permanently". Small padlocks can be used as well.
No zipties or padlocks are mounted on ours. I am attempting to slide it out of the mount but it wont budge. I will try a bit more force and see what happens. Thanks
+Darius Godwin Hmm... If you can peer on top of the AP and see where it slides on to the mounting plate, you might want to verify you're getting all four little black "feet" in the mounting holes. If you miss one, the AP can be difficult to slide back off.
Great video: too simple and detailed. Thanks. Does antennas on the access point are not required?
Charles Spurgeon this particular model has internal antennas. There are other models that support high gain externals.
The day Charles Spurgeon took on WiFI access points. Love it.
Awesome Dude!!!!
I JUST NEED A LADDER NOW...VERY GOOD
Only problem is the gaping hole he cut into the ceiling tile. i use a screw drive to make a tiny notch in the tile--looks much better
Jeff Lee I actually do as well, but was one of those thing that once he did it, there was no sense in going back and punching a hole in another ceiling tile. LOL! But yes, your Phillips head screwdriver is perfect for "drilling" a small hold at the edge of the tile to route the patch cable through.

Did i need a complete Cisco System to run an Accespoint like that one you installed?
+Wirbel Plays Not necessarily. While the AP shown is running lightweight, it can be flashed to run autonomously. Just be careful when deploying multiple APs in an area while running autonomously.
That AP is powered by Ethernet right? So I don't need external current.
So at all that AP works without a complete Cisco network right?
+Wirbel Plays We power ours via PoE. So you will need a switch with PoE ports, or utilize a power injector to power the AP over Ethernet. Otherwise you can also plug it in to the wall with a power adapter.
Yes.. we have PoE too. so that should not be a problem. How to set a IP for that device?
+Wirbel Plays Settings like this are best set via CLI while consoled in to the AP before you bring it on to your network. If this is not an option for you, then utilizing DHCP services would be next best.
Wow super video. It saved my day as I am IT admin from india. I fixed my AP with help of your video. Thanks you so much .... by the way your name?
lined up on the B hole
Could you go through that again......... but slower next time :-). Handy though thanks.
that's one big hole. i've had customers raise hell over those holes. definitely needs to be smaller, or atleast slide the ap over it.
Yah, he's a little aggressive with punching holes...
i'd hate to see how he knocks out a hole for a faceplate, lol.
I agree, the hole is way too big...should have marked it, went down the ladder with the drop ceiling panel and cut it correctly, not cutting upwards while on a ladder.
I carry a small needle nose pliers and can quickly pinch the edge of the tile and give it little twist and a small notch is the result. Small holes or notches help the heating and air conditioning systems maintain proper temperatures by cutting thermal loss into the space above the tiles.
@@ryanvanbuskirk503 -- Jeez! Cut the man some slack. Maybe he just wanted to show you what not to do. Guess he was too successful. 🤣
how does the AP gets its power source?
Kiko Hacildo in this particular setup, the AP is connected to a PoE switch.
Nice video. You'd be surprised how many people screw this job up.
can you help me i got Cisco 2600 from my brother but it does not light up and work.do i need to recharge it ?
+yevgeni10 The 2600 WAP? Do you have it's power supply or are you trying to run it with PoE?
+Just another day at the office. hmmm i don't have the power supply. can you explain me how to use PoE in home?
+yevgeni10 If you do not have the power adapter, you'll need to get a PoE power injector as most home or consumer grade routers and switches do not provide PoE.
can i buy one from eBay ??
+yevgeni10 eBay, Amazon, anywhere really... PoE is a 802.3af standard, so any should work.
These guys are hilarious! :D :D :D
And one bag of chips, for when you get hungry while you install your access point.
🤣🤣🤣 Haha, I'm guessing that man was definitely a Scout.
This is better than Ubiquiti aup-pro? thank you!
+Guillermo Galvan Can't really even compare those two. While both "Enterprise" class equipment, the Ubiquiti has no where near the configuration abilities and typically yields slower data rates than a Cisco. While I have never personally set anything up with Ubiquiti equipment, I'd be curious to see if their configurations are simpler.
+Just another day at the office. Ubiquiti is easy to configure using Unifi Controller, Cisco it is very expensive, US $2300.00 Kit Access Point Aironet 3700 D: Good Day :D
You forgot the six pack beer! :D
What a nice man. :)
Fantastic. The installation guide for the 3800 has nothing about how to install it. It just shows a picture of the mounting bracket and thats it.
is that need battery?
+Caca Dian No batteries were harmed in the making of this film.
god dude thanx
Biscuit?????
Very detailed, but did he really end with a tutorial on sweeping the floor and using a dust pan? :-D great video though.
Great video.. you are a crack¡¡
I never knew anyone that spoke just like a user manual reads.
I would mark the ceiling tile with a pen/pencil, take it down and then make the small hole. I don't think it is very safe to try and cut something like that whilst on the ladder.
While this is probably an OSHA approved comment, ain’t nobody got time for dat!
6:26 How could u say that with a straight face? I swear ur a robot hahaa
+Padre-D Productions LOL! I think he is more of a A hole guy. :)
Hahaaa! touché
Yeah these suck taking off!!!!
Really? I think they're WAY easier than the old 1252 mounts... Are you using the included mount, or the in ceiling tile mount?
Ceiling mount I am sure it is easy once I figure it out the first time. Just trying to figure out how to remove the AP. Do I just remove the whole bracket instead of trying to push the AP out of the locking position?
Thanks for your reply btw
+Darius Godwin The AP just slides right off the mounting plate, opposite of the direction to lock it on. The mounting plate either screws on to the drop ceiling clip, or you can screw it to wallboard or studs with wood screws. The mounting plate has access holes to be able to tighten and loosen the drop ceiling clip lock screw.
Video is overly condescending..albeit an attempt I suppose at closet humor.
Dean Gammons duh...
Thank you
