Connecting Antennas to the Wireless Router
Before you mount the router on a table or a wall, connect the antennas to the back panel. It is difficult
to attach the antennas after the router has been mounted to a wall.
Mounting on a Table
The router and the PoE module can be mounted on a table or other flat horizontal surface.
To mount the router on a table, firmly place the router on a table. Do not cover or obstruct the router
vents, which are located on the router sides.
To mount the PoE module on a table, place the PoE module near the router so that the Ethernet cables
on the PoE module can easily connect to the router Ethernet ports.
Caution
Do not cover or obstruct the router vents; otherwise, overheating could occur and cause damage to
the router.
