Abstract
Disclosed is an attachment mechanism for attaching a wireless access point to a vertical structure, such as a wall. The attachment mechanism includes a bracket that is mounted to the vertical structure. The attachment mechanism also includes at least two engagement members positioned on opposing sides of the access point. The two engagement members are horizontally aligned, in some embodiments, when the access point is engaged with a bracket. The two engagement members engage with receptacles that are part of the bracket. One of the receptacles includes a tab which prevents its corresponding engagement member from fully engaging with the receptacle, allowing the attachment mechanism to disengage via disengagement of only one of the engagement members.
