Mounting the Router, Mounting on a Table

Chapter 2 Installation

Mounting the Router

You can mount the router on one of the following surfaces:

•Table or other horizontal surface

•Wall or other vertical surface

Mounting on a Table

Place the router firmly on a table, and perform the tasks identified in the “Installing the Router” section on page 2-33.

Caution Do not cover or obstruct the router vents, which are located on the sides of the router. If the vents are covered or obstructed, overheating could occur and cause damage to the router.

Mounting on a Wall

You can mount the router on a wall or other vertical surface by using the molded mounting brackets on the bottom of the router and two number-six, 3/4-in. (M3.5 x 20 mm) screws. You must provide the screws. Figure 2-7 shows the mounting brackets.

Caution If you are mounting the router on drywall, use two hollow-wall anchors (1/8 in. with 5/16-in. drill bit, or M3 with 8-mm drill bit) to secure the screws. If the screws are not properly anchored, the strain of the network cable connections could pull the router from the wall.
