Is there a way to remove the WiFi Disc stand so it can be wall mounted?

Hi @BWhite_

Thanks for coming to the community.

Do you have Smart WiFi?

If so, our Setting up Smart WiFi Help post, has full information for you 🙂

If not, which router do you have?

Thanks.

Leanne.

Hi @Leanne_T , the "Setting Up Smart WiFi Help post" does not answer this question. How do you take the legs off the unit so that you can wall-mount it? I also need to do this but can't find any information about it online.

I need to wall-mount this unit but cannot figure out how to take the legs off. There is a small grey rubber plug on the bottom, if you remove it, you can see through the gap that there is (what appears to be) a screw holding the legs on. But, you'd need to be able to pop open the case to do this...has anyone had any luck removing the legs/stand?

EE Community Support Team, please don't answer by linking to the "Setting up Smart WiFi Help post" as it does not say how to remove the legs/stand.

Hi there @thebenhanson

I have spoken to the relevant team and they have advised they are fixed in place and removing these may cause damage to the unit.

Surely this isn't right... there is a mounting point, suggesting that the disc can be mounted on a wall. But the feet make the bottom half of the disc stick out a huge way. Looks unsightly, and likely to fall off the wall.

Hacksaw them off. Rawl plug a screw. Hang the disc. Staple the wire to neaten it up. Job done

it looks this is the only option. i am surprised that you cannot wall-mount this unit.

By chance, did you figure it out how to do it?

Using the slip out piece of plastic on the back of the disc i prised the disc apart just enough to undo the internal screw. The leg then falls off. The disc then snapped back together and now can be wall mounted on a screw.

Thanks for your advice. It worked.

I just had the same thoughts about this leg.

As it turns out, I wall mounted it and the legs held the body away from the wall. As it is mounted directly above the electric socket, the legs provided a handy shelf to tuck away the additional electric lead.

I hope you had something to trace where the electricity cables went before you started to drill into the wall?

The warning is here for anyone else who may try and do the same!

Sockets usually come from below; light switches from above. However you would always check it out 1st. There are tools for this.

I al also trying to wall mount a couple of these discs. I gently prised the feet off the disc and they came away very easily - not too much force, the feet sitting in their open position.

However my problem with wall mounting is the actually get a power supply to the dics which does not push the disc out from the wall as the supplied BT one does. Any suggestions please?
