RT-AX88U RT-AC88U Wall Mount

thingiverse

So I finally took a plunge with a new wifi router after my older router started to hit the limit with the ISP. Meaning that even though I have a good bandwidth coming in and out of my house (500/500), the max my older router can handle was less than 200/200. So I bought the Asus RT-AX88U since I had the old Asus router and I can still use it for the AI mesh that Asus offers with most of its router. To my surprise, the over $300 bucks router doesn't come with a wall-mount since apparently it's designed to be a tabletop router. My challenge is that the only place I can install my router is the wall in one of the rooms. So I look around and found this design in Thingiverse. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3252985 Good design but it just doesn't give me everything that I wanted. So I'm re-adapting his idea and I redesigned the whole wall-mount bracket using Solidworks 2019 SP4. I added a whole bunch of stuff such as the second bar, middle bar stabilizer, and the most important part, the network and power cable organizer. I've included two versions of center bars. One version is a solid center bar for people who have a big enough 3D area to print it and the second version, I split the center bar to two pieces for people who don't have a large 3d print area. I created a space in between the peg and the hole at around 1mm but you may have to adjust it a bit depending on your 3d printer's accuracy. Worst to worst, you can always sandpaper it to make it fit. The picture you see is my router sitting on top of wood crown molding so my version includes the adjusted version of the mount to accommodate the molding. But the one I'm posting is flat to the wall version. Please let me know what you think of the design and if there's improvement needed. So, far I'm happy with what I have and it fits perfectly with my router. Please share with the rest of us if you were using it for other kinds of routers and it works out for you so that I can update the title to include your router type as well.
