Zip ties to the rescue - I zip tied it to the bracket and you can't even see it if you know it is there, and it is very secure.

I want to add that I agree with the OP - the kitchen is the place to be with this. The range on Quantum fiber pods is pretty amazing, I can go out to the very edge of my Birdcage, which is almost at the edge of my property and I still measure about 75 MBPS speeds, which is enough to stream 4k video if I want.

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but Quantum fiber even has Wifi 7 capability which is way faster than Wifi 5 or even Wifi 6. There are actually only the latest versions of cell phones like my Pixel 9 pro that can even use or measure it. Even the new LG G4 TV I just bought only uses wifi 6, which is actually very fast.

I could not be happier that I switched to Quantum fiber. My wallet is happy too, since it is less than half what I was paying spectrum.
Thanks for the information on your installation. Yes, I've installed the Main WiFi pod under the cabinet, see attached. It also works well. These pictures are looking up to the bottom of the cabinet so you can see the installation. When looking in a normal manner at the cabinets all you see is the ethernet plug and a/c adaptor.
