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 2-8
shows 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.

Wall-Mounting Brackets (Bottom of Router)
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.
