Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a mounting base, and more particularly to a mounting base for fixing electronic devices. Background Technology

[0002] Wireless routers or other electronic devices are typically mounted on ceilings using mounting brackets, particularly metal support structures. These metal support structures can be T-beams or other shaped metal structures. However, the wide variety of metal support structures available on the market means that conventional mounting brackets cannot accommodate multiple different designs simultaneously, creating installation challenges for electronic devices (e.g., wireless routers).

[0003] Furthermore, when a known electronic device needs to be removed from its mounting base, the mounting base is often removed along with it. To avoid this, additional securing parts are usually required to hold the mounting base in place, making the installation process overly complicated. Moreover, known mounting bases are not suitable for mounting on walls or other supporting structures.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to provide an electronic device and its mounting base to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
