This guide describes how to install your Cisco RV260W and launch the 
web-based Device Manager.

Installing the Cisco RV260W

To prevent the device from overheating or being damaged:

• Ambient Temperature 

— Do not operate the device in an area that 

exceeds an ambient temperature of 104°F (40°C).

• Air  Flow 

— Be sure that there is adequate airflow around the device. If 

wall mounting the device, make sure that the heat dissipation holes are 
to the side.

• Circuit Overloading 

— Adding the device to the power outlet must not 

overload that circuit.

• Mechanical  Loading 

— Be sure that the device is level and stable to 

avoid any hazardous conditions and that it is secure to prevent it from 
sliding or shifting out of position. Do not place anything on top of the 
device, as excessive weight may damage it.

Desktop Mounting

For desktop mounting, place the device on a flat surface so that it sits on its 
four rubber feet.

Wall Mounting 

The RV260W router has two wall-mount slots on the bottom panel. To 
mount the router on a wall, you will need to use the wall-mount kit screws 
(included). 

Guidelines for Mounting the Router on a Wall

When choosing a location for mounting the router on a wall, consider cable 
limitations and wall structure.
