How Do I Mount the Cable Modem Gateway on the
Wall?
Before You Begin
Before you begin, choose an appropriate mounting place. The wall can be made of
cement, wood, or drywall. The mounting location should be free of obstructions on
all sides, and the cables should be able to easily reach the cable modem gateway
without strain. Leave sufficient clearance between the bottom of the cable modem
gateway, and any flooring or shelving underneath, to allow access to cabling. In
addition, leave enough slack in all cables so that the cable modem can be removed
for any required maintenance without disconnecting the cables. Also, verify that you
have the following items:
Two wall anchors for #8 x 1 inch screws
Two #8 x 1 inch pan head sheet metal screws
Drill with a 3/16-in. wood or masonry bit

Mounting Instructions
You can mount the DPR2320/DPR2325/EPR2320/EPR2325 cable modem gateway
directly on a wall using two wall anchors, two screws, and the mounting slots on the
bottom of the modem. The modem can be mounted vertically or horizontally.
