How Do I Mount the Modem on a Wall? (Optional)

You can mount the cable modem on a wall using two wall anchors, two screws, and the mounting slots located on the unit. The modem can be horizontally mounted.

Before You Begin

Before you begin, choose an appropriate mounting place. The wall can be made of cement, wood, or drywall. The mounting location should be free of obstructions on all sides, and the cables should be able to easily reach the cable modem without strain. Leave sufficient clearance between the bottom of the cable modem and any flooring or shelving underneath to allow access to cabling. In addition, leave enough slack in all cables so that the cable modem can be removed for any required maintenance without disconnecting the cables. Also, verify that you have the following items:

Two wall anchors for #8 x 1-inch screws

Two #8 x 1-inch pan head sheet metal screws

Drill with a 3/16-in. wood or masonry bit, as appropriate for the wall composition
