Pole and wall mount for NWA55AXE?

mMontana

According to QSG available on zyxel website, there's optional wallmount and polemount for NWA55AXE.

However, among accessories, i find only ACCESSORY-ZZ0102F (Weatherproof Enclosure Kit, which should not be needed for this device) and ACCESSORY-ZZ0106F (pole mounting kit) which seems dedicated to ACCESSORY-ZZ0102F…

I'm getting this wrong?

Hi @mMontana,

The NWA55AXE is designed for outdoor use and typically includes basic mounting hardware for wall or pole mounting.

Here's a breakdown of the mounting accessories:

• Standard Mounting: The NWA55AXE usually comes with mounting brackets that allow for direct wall mounting or attachment to a pole.
• ACCESSORY-ZZ0102F (Weatherproof Enclosure Kit): This accessory is a weatherproof enclosure. While the NWA55AXE is already designed to be weatherproof, this enclosure might be for specific deployment scenarios or to house additional components, though it's generally not required for the NWA55AXE itself.
• ACCESSORY-ZZ0106F (Pole Mounting Kit): The ACCESSORY-ZZ0106F pole mounting kit is explicitly not compatible with the NWA55AXE due to its screw design. The NWA55AXE has an omnidirectional antenna, meaning specialized kits to adjust antenna angles are not necessary for optimal signal, which is often the main purpose of such pole mount kits.

According to the Quick Start Guide (QSG), the NWA55AXE supports both wall and pole mounting:

• Wall Mounting: Drill two holes 40 mm apart, insert screws into the wall, then align the device with the screws and slide it down until it clicks into place.

• Pole Mounting: Insert hose clamps through the holes on the back of the device and tighten them to secure the bracket to the pole. (Hose clamps are not included and should be selected based on the actual pole diameter.)

Therefore, ACCESSORY-ZZ0102F and ACCESSORY-ZZ0106F are not compatible with the NWA55AXE for standard installations.
If the above doesn't address your concerns, please provide the following information:

• A picture of the mounting hardware that came with your NWA55AXE.
• Your intended mounting scenario (e.g., specific pole diameter, wall type).

Hi @mMontana,

As Zyxel_Barry mentioned, those two accessories are not suitable for the NWA55AXE outdoor AP unit. If you have any further questions, please provide the information.
