Has anyone successfully mounted Meraki MR access points to this type of drop ceiling T-rail?

If so, what mounting bracket did you use?

MA-MNT-CLG-1
This kit includes a pair of deep drop ceiling clips and spare T-Rail adapter which supports both recessed T-Rail and flush T-Rail. The deep drop ceiling clip works well with "Armstrong Silhouette" and similar ceiling grids which are found in newer building designs. This kit is compatible with all Meraki MR access points and MV21 & MV71 security cameras.

Hi, do you know if these are also compatible with the new 9166 series?

They wont work with 9166, mounting brackets are included in 9166 AP box which will mount to drop ceilings.

1) the T-rail adapter is universal because it  is attached to the standard bracket of the access point
2) there are two 9166 lines (Catalyst and Meraki)? both use the AIR-AP-Bracket-2

To clarify, these are the Meraki CW9166, and they need to be mounted to an Armstrong Silhouette T-Rail system. Meraki has a particular mount kit for this, but it looks like this may only work with the MR series.
