Prepare your ground cable with a standard barrel, 2-hole lug with two 1/4-inch (.635 cm) diameter
holes on a 5/8-inch (1.5875 cm) spacing. Grounding cables are not provided. To make sure that the
equipment is connected to earth ground, follow the instructions to prepare the ground wire. The
length of the grounding wire depends on the location of the router and proximity to the proper
grounding facilities.
Two grounding screws are located on the rear side of the chassis, on the top left-hand side.
