RT-AC 87 U wall mountable?

[t3olli]

Hello,
i read some reviews and everywhere there was said, that the RT-AC 87 is wall mountable. But how? I See no opinion to mount Thema AC 87 in Thema wall. Vor i am blind? So i thinking about switching to The RT 68 U which fits better for me....

My RT-AC87 has mounting holes. Two screws in the wall and done.

 

[t3olli]

Are there really mounting holes?

 

[pbcopter]

Yes, there are two.

 

[ogre]

Yep, mine is wall mounted using two screws.

 

[t3olli]

a closer look is then shown that there really are holes for hanging ...
Thank you, problem solved

The problem is only that the two holes are not enough deep.

Those holes don't look that different from the r7000. Anyway, 2 mounting holes for sure. If there is a will there is a way.

Looking closely at my AC87U I see how the router can be wall mounted. But the problem (now) is that I can't find matching screws for the holes. I tried a few different screws, but the head is too big to fit in the hole.

Home Depot, Lowes, Canadian Tire and most other hardware stores can help with that.

After much trying I found screws that fit perfectly. After I wall mounted my AC87U I also see in the settings that the temperature of the CPU is a bit lower then before.

No need to switch to any other device. AC-87 have the holes to hang it on the wall. Just watch with care you will find it.

Not to be snarky... just about any device can be wall mounted...

That being said - yes, it can - and can help performance and cooling - the one caveat would be what's in the wall - if it's old-school plaster/lath construction, the chicken wire in the wall can be a negative impact on performance.

Hi all. I found another novel way to wall mount. If you delicately loosen the two screws in the bottom in the indents and wrap some picture frame wire around and tighten, you can hang the Asus just like a picture!

And it looks like *... there's no good way to plaster these AIO devices on a wall.

As proof of concept, it is great. Perfect 'out of box' thinking!

The aesthetics can easily be nudged to provide a satisfying end result in any 'decor'.
