I seem to remember a company that had dummy speaker boxes meant to hold access points or echo dots behind a speaker grill. Anyone know what i am talking about?

Snap has replacement grills and I've held them up with some rare earth magnets. Not exactly what you want but could get it done.

Not a dummy speaker box, but Oberon makes some nice recessed WiFi enclosures.

Saw this the other day while looking at CE Pro. I have no experience with the company so I don’t know how well they perform.

I'm not sure it I'd want to place an access point behind a metal grill.

I've been using more and more of the Ubiquiti in-wall access points. True, I mount them at outlet level and they are not as potent or well located as a ceiling access point, but the in-room access point is more effective than a more potent access point several rooms distant. These are PoE and I need to have wires in place or be able to run wires in order to avoid the mess of local power injector wiring. If there is an in place network port it is a short task to replace the port with an in-wall.

In very difficult situations the in-walls will mesh. I had a situation where the office had good wireless coverage from the next room, but the garden was not covered. Since the office overlooked the garden and running wires anywhere near the garden or the office was not in the cards, a meshed in-wall in the office painlessly gave the garden reasonable (not stellar) coverage.

I used one of these before. but it might be a little big for most. Nice because it's cheap and just pops into place.

Also an 8x8" version. There is an overall thickness spec, but no spec for the visible panel thickness.

Will any of these hold the Araknis 810 WAP? They are 9.7” in diameter and almost 2” thick.

They are pretty thin, so it won't protrude all that much.

Cut a hole put WAP up off to the side and then pop this cover in the hole.

Easy enough to go check them out to see if it ill work and satisfy.
