Mounting Tv Above Fireplace Plaster Walls

We purchased this TV mount to enable the TV to extend beyond the end of a fireplace. The TV is recessed in a pocket between the fireplace and a window. This mount allows us to telescope and turn the TV so all can see beyond the fireplace. I consider the unit exceptionally well-constructed and designed. The mounting kit contains a variety of fasteners to anchor the unit to the wall. In our case, we needed our own lag screws to secure the frame to the stud pattern on the wall. The unit is is rather ornery and cumbersome to install. Plan on two people to install. The mounting template works well. But it is important to measure the mounting slots in the unit's frame to ensure the one's chosen align with the wall stud's locations. I recommend using a level and drawing a centerline for the fasteners to follow. Pre-drill holes into the wall studs. I strongly recommend not mounting through the drywall with plastic expansion anchors. There will be a lot of bearing on a material that is not designed for long-term structural integrity. We use all of the mount's 40" extension. It certainly meets our needs.

I got this to mount my 55 TV above our fireplace. This mount is very sturdy and heavy duty and not light. It came with all of the mounting hardware which was a plus. The only modification I had to do was build some brackets to extend it out to the edge of the fireplace mantel. Otherwise the TV would have set to high for our room. Our issue, not the mount.

We purchased this TV for mounting over our fireplace in our new home and it is perfectly sized and high quality. We've truly ramped up movie nights and overall TV experience enjoyment at our house!

My internet router is two floors up and on the other side of the house...thick plaster walls, etc, etc. it literally took less than five minutes to boost my internet speed to hard wired speeds. Amazingly easy...wish I could give this ten stars!

I live in an older house with plaster walls. This router provides great internet coverage.

I have an older brick with thick plaster and brick walls . I used to use a Nighthawk and was unable to have good access in different parts of home. I now have great signal and 580 MBPS throughout entire home.

I tried various solutions including WiFi extenders to get service throughout my 4 floor house with plaster walls. This set up easily and brings faster, more reliable wifi to the whole house.

We live in an older home with plaster walls and a large brick chimney. Out internet connections was spotty and frustrating until we bought the TP-Link Deco S4 AC1200 Whole Home Dual-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System. Now we are connected upstairs, downstairs, on the front porch and even in the backyard garden. We are extremely happy with this product and with the service and personal attention from B&H photo.

This is much better than the systems I had previously (Google WiFi, Linksys Velop, Netgear Orbi). I have an old 1940’s home filled will plaster walls and the Netgear Orbi AC3000 version 1 was the best at sending 2.4 and 5GHz through the walls. While the other systems lacked the horsepower to get through the plaster walls. The Netgear just worked but I did not have much to tinkering plus the security on it was terrible. If you wanted internet security you would have to pay a monthly subscription fee for Armour. The UDM is great I can create multiple virtual WLAN (home automations, TV, laptop/mobile devices,etc). Each vLAN is separate so they don’t fight for WiFi space. The one UDM covers my 1200sq ft plaster walled home with secure WiFi and if I need more I could add an access point. The fact that the 4 port switch is managed is a plus. Being able to turn on/off those 4 ports makes it even more secure. Just hope that Ubiquiti continues to support this little diamond of a product with FW updates. I can see the UDM being able to do so much more. A lot is the software is in Beta and some in Alpha stage. Hopefully one day (SOON) it will be in full production mode.

We recently purchased a house built in 1925, which means plaster walls and ceilings in every room. Top tier wireless products couldn't get the job of connecting all family members devices (about 14 at last count) continuously or consistently. Enter the Powerline Adapters. A minor connectivity issue at first (it helps to read the instructions carefully), but that was easily solved by resetting factory defaults. Six adapters spread around the house and everyone no longer complains about their network connection. There have been no issues with different areas of the house being on different circuit breakers in the electrical panel. The peaceful solution to the house that wasn't built for wi-fi.
