This is more of a bad idea from the standpoint of connectivity than that of damage. The AP has two antennas that communicate with the field wireless router. It needs both of the antennas in the clear, away from noise generators and metal, to maximize bandwidth connection in both directions. Low and inside is good for baseball and bad for the AP.
