• applying force to a locking mechanism of a toolless locking element of the mounting bracket to free up a slidable piece of the toolless locking element;
• while the force is applied to the locking mechanism, moving the slidable piece towards a second edge of the flange of the T-bar until a flange hook of the slidable piece engages the second edge of the flange of the T-bar;
• after the flange hook of the slidable piece engages the second edge of the flange of the T-bar, releasing the force on the locking mechanism so that the slidable piece is locked in place;
• and
• attaching a wireless access point (AP) to the mounting bracket after the mounting bracket is attached to the T-bar.
