Mounting Your Router

Mounting on Table

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

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 2-7shows 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.
