Mounting on Table

Do not cover or obstruct the router vents, which are located on the router sides.

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 2-7 shows the

mounting brackets.

Caution If you are mounting the router on drywall, use three hollow-wall anchors to secure

the three 1/8-in. (M3) screws. If the screws are not properly anchored, the strain

of the network cable connections could pull the router from the wall. Use the drill

bit size that is specified by the hollow-wall anchor manufacturer.
