Wall or other vertical surface

Mounting the Router on a Table

You can mount your router on a table or other horizontal surface. Use the following guidelines:

•Do not cover or obstruct the router vents, which are located on the router sides.

•You can stack a maximum of five routers on top of one another. (The router has a curved ridge on the enclosure top that mates with a curved indentation on the enclosure bottom. When stacking one of these routers on top of another, this mating feature ensures that the routers are securely stacked.)

Mounting the Router on a Wall

You can mount your router on a wall or other vertical surface by using the molded mounting brackets on the router bottom and two number-six, 3/4-inch (M3.5 x 20 mm) screws. You must provide the screws. Figure 2-8 shows the mounting brackets.

Caution If the wall to which you mount your router is drywall, use two hollow wall-anchors (1/8 inch with 5/16-inch 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.
