Review on πŸ”Œ Basstop Google WiFi Wall Mount Bracket Holder for Old Rectangular Plug (3 Pack) - Simplest Stand for Router and Beacons, No Messy Screws - White by Boss Spangler

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pretty nice but get the length right

This comes in handy when you find a good way to run the cables. They have their disadvantages, but I'll start with the advantages. Clean installation, clean design, good value for money. They come without instructions, just a picture. The problem was that my Google Wi-Fi has cables that are longer than a track can accommodate. I have a few key tips that have helped me set it up optimally and keep it clean. 1. Start at the end of the connector and route from the top so that the extra cable length from the connector is minimal and clean. 2. Take a quarter or other smooth edge and slide the cable deep into the groove in the cable channel. Make sure the cable does not protrude beyond the grooves.3. Slip two loops over each other, then slide the rest to the center of the clasp and loop open.4. Insert the cable, making sure the cable does not protrude too far from the grooves. It keeps everything flush with the wall when you install it.5. When installing in a wall socket, hold and press the plug.6. Bonus tip: mount the WiFi itself so that the "G" is in the correct orientation so that most of the ring of light is shining down and the end of the cable on the back is also pointing up. Some flaws or issues to be aware of. 1. They're not very rigid, but they don't look like they'll break if you leave them installed and rarely move them.2. You can't use WiFi ethernet ports unless you can find a ribbon cable to run through the middle. Most cables are thick and will likely push the bracket out of its socket.3. The power plug holder doesn't hold up very well, but once installed it didn't seem to be a problem.

Pros
  • That's great
