Quick answer

For most drywall or wood surfaces, the screw-in method offers the strongest hold for your TP-Link BE63. Choose the adhesive option if you rent, cannot drill, or have a smooth, clean wall like tile or glass.

Why mounting height matters for your BE63

Placing your TP-Link BE63 (BE1000) mesh router higher on a wall can improve signal range and reception compared to leaving it on a low table. The Brainwavz wall mount holder is designed to help you achieve this ideal placement.

Adhesive vs screw: the core difference

The adhesive option uses a strong industrial-grade pad that sticks to smooth, clean surfaces. It requires no drilling and leaves minimal residue when removed. The screw-in method uses included hardware to anchor the mount into studs or drywall anchors, providing a permanent, load-bearing installation.

Adhesive vs screw tradeoffs

  • Adhesive mounting: Stick the mount directly onto a clean, smooth, non-porous surface. No drilling required. Best for tile, glass, metal, or painted drywall in good condition. Check that your wall is free of dust and grease before applying the pad.
  • Screw mounting: Drill pilot holes and use the supplied screws and anchors to fasten the mount into drywall, wood, or masonry. Provides the strongest, most permanent hold. Use a stud finder to locate a solid anchor point for maximum weight support.
  • Removal and repositioning: Adhesive mounts can be removed with gentle heat (hair dryer) and may be repositioned once if the pad is still tacky. Screw mounts leave small holes that need patching. If you plan to move the router later, adhesive is the cleaner option.

Product facts

Which mounting method fits you?

Best for

  • Renters or anyone who cannot drill into walls – choose adhesive.
  • Permanent installations on drywall, wood, or concrete – choose screw mounting.

Not for

  • Textured walls, wallpaper, or surfaces with a loose finish – adhesive may not bond well.
  • Very heavy routers (over 3 lbs) – screw mounting is safer for heavy loads.
