This white wall mount balances form and function: it keeps cabling neatly organized, protects delicate connectors from accidental contact, and minimizes RF interference by ensuring the AP is positioned for optimal air flow and boundary clearance. Designed for busy office environments, hotels, classrooms, and commercial spaces, this mount helps you achieve a reliable, scalable wireless network with a professional look that fits any décor. By pairing your AP‑220 with this purpose-made wall mount, you can streamline deployment, simplify maintenance, and preserve the long‑term integrity of your wireless infrastructure.
- Designed for seamless integration with the HPE AP‑220 Wireless Access Point family, the AP‑220‑MNT‑W3 locks the AP securely in place while keeping antennas and radios unobstructed for optimal coverage. The precise alignment reduces installation guesswork and ensures consistent RF performance across deployments.
- Effortless installation with clearly defined mounting holes, a compact footprint, and an alignment system that minimizes site prep time. Whether you’re mounting in a data closet, a conference room, or a hallway server alcove, this mount helps you complete installations quickly and with fewer tools.
- Neat cable management and accessible cabling openings let you route power and data cables cleanly, minimize strain on connectors, and support fast maintenance. The built-in channels keep clutter out of sight, improving airflow and reducing the risk of accidental disconnections during servicing.
- Durable white finish and rugged mounting hardware withstand daily wear in high‑traffic settings while blending with interior design. The mount’s resilience helps maintain a professional appearance even after routine cleaning, reconfigurations, or minor remodeling projects.
- Flexible positioning and the ability to reposition the AP if coverage or interference testing indicates adjustments are needed. This enables you to optimize signal direction, improve client experiences, and extend the life of your existing hardware without replacement.

how to install HPE AP-220-MNT-W3
Installing the HPE AP‑220 on the AP‑220‑MNT‑W3 wall mount is a straightforward process that yields a secure, professional finish. Follow these steps to ensure a reliable, high‑quality deployment that supports strong wireless performance and easy future maintenance.
- Plan your mounting location: select an interior wall that provides clear line-of-sight to your client devices and avoids direct exposure to extreme heat, humidity, or physical hazards. Confirm the wall surface can support the mount and AP's weight, and consider thermostatic conditions to keep electronics within operating limits.
- Prepare the mounting surface: if mounting on drywall, use appropriate anchors or toggle bolts rated for the wall type; for masonry or concrete, choose suitable masonry anchors. Have a level and screwdriver ready to ensure precision alignment during installation.
- Attach the wall mount: hold the AP‑220 wall mount against the chosen wall, align the mounting holes with your pre‑drilled or marked positions, and secure the bracket to the wall with the appropriate fasteners. Use a level to verify that the bracket is perfectly plumb to avoid misalignment of the AP once installed.
- Route cables and prepare the AP: decide whether you will use Power over Ethernet (PoE) or a separate power source. Route the network and power cables through the wall mount’s openings and channels, ensuring there is enough slack at the AP to allow for any repositioning during testing and optimization. Keep cables tidy to reduce strain on connectors.
- Attach the AP to the mount: align the HPE AP‑220’s mounting holes with the corresponding points on the wall mount, then secure the AP to the mount with the appropriate screws. Tighten evenly to avoid warping, and confirm that the AP sits flush against the wall with no gaps that could collect dust or obstruct airflow.
- Power up and verify: connect the PoE switch or injector to power the AP, then power on the device. Check the AP’s status indicators and verify wireless clients can associate. If necessary, adjust the AP’s orientation or position on the mount to optimize coverage, based on site survey results or real‑world performance data.
- Document the installation: label cables, record the wall mount location in your network diagram, and note any specific orientation or alignment notes. This makes future maintenance and expansions faster and reduces the risk of misconfiguration during subsequent changes.
Frequently asked questions
- Q: What is the HPE AP-220-MNT-W3? A: It is a wall‑mount accessory designed to securely install an HPE AP‑220 Wireless Access Point on interior walls. It provides a clean, professional installation, protects ports from accidental contact, and supports optimal AP alignment for reliable wireless coverage.
- Q: Is this mount compatible with other AP models? A: The AP‑220‑MNT‑W3 is specifically designed for the HPE AP‑220 family. While it may be physically compatible with other devices that share the same mounting pattern, official compatibility and support are for the AP‑220 series. Always verify the mounting standards of any non‑AP‑220 device before use.
- Q: Does the mount come with screws or hardware? A: Mounting hardware suitable for interior wall installations is typically compatible with common wall types, but content details can vary by packaging. Always refer to the product documentation or packaging contents to confirm which fasteners are included and choose fasteners appropriate for your wall substrate and local building codes.
- Q: Can I adjust the AP’s position after mounting? A: The AP‑220‑MNT‑W3 provides a secure, fixed orientation designed for consistent coverage. If coverage adjustments are needed, you can reposition the AP on the wall mount during maintenance or reorient the AP on the bracket, but the mount itself does not offer tilt or swivel functionality.
- Q: Where should I install this mount? A: Best results come from interior walls in controlled environments such as offices, education facilities, or hospitality spaces where the AP can deliver unobstructed coverage while staying protected from tampering and incidental contact. Avoid exterior walls or locations with extreme temperature fluctuations or high moisture.
