Install the Hub
To install your hub on a flat surface, you do not need any special tools. Be sure the hub is positioned with at least 2 inches of space on all sides for ventilation.
To install the hub on a wall, measure the distance between the mounting holes on the back of the hub and mark the wall to match the location of the mounting holes on the hub. At the marked location, screw into the wall the two screws that you received with the mounting kit included in
your package contents. Be sure to choose a location that is near the devices to be connected, is close to an electrical outlet, and provides at least 2 inches of space all around the hub for ventilation.
