The included screws are a little flimsy

After reading another review stating that the screws that came with it didn't work with the AX6000 RBK852 I got worried because I wanted to use it with that. I had no problems with the screws holding the baseplate to the bottom of the RBK852. However, I had problems with the screws that attach the bracket to the wall. Apparently Netgear assumes everyone will mount it on drywall away from the wall stud because they supply a plastic lever anchor and long screws for that anchor. The screws make sense. I wouldn't call them screws though. I mounted the bracket on the back of the wall in the 1/2 finished basement, right on the wall stud. I ended up removing the head of one screw and actually breaking the other screw trying to screw it into the same holes I used for the Unifi AP (I'm assuming the existing pilot holes weren't deep enough) . I ended up just reusing the screws that attached the Unify mounting plate to the wall. If you intend to mount this bracket to a rack, you should use stronger screws than those included in the kit. Other than that, this thing works great with the RBK852. The screw issues are the only reason I didn't give 5 stars here.
