Mounting Your Router

Mounting on Wall

You can mount your 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 2-8shows the mounting brackets.

Caution If you are mounting your 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.

The following conditions must be met when you mount the router:

•Because you will use the LEDs as status and problem indicators, the front panel must face upward and be easily visible.

•The router must be mounted low enough for you to see the LEDs in case you need to troubleshoot a problem.
