Upgrade from UAP-PRO
The design of the UAP-AC-PRO Mounting Bracket facilitates
upgrades from the UAP-PRO, by eliminating the need to drill
new holes in the wall or ceiling tile. The following illustrations
show the Mounting Bracket holes that are used for the
UAP-AC-PRO and UAP-PRO:
Mounting Bracket Holes (4)

To begin the upgrade, perform the following steps:
1. Insert a paper clip into the UAP-PRO Locking Notch
to disengage the lock. Then turn the UAP-PRO
counterclockwise and lift it off of the mounting bracket.

The UniFi AP can be mounted on the wall or ceiling. Perform
the steps for the appropriate installation:
Wall Mount
