Physical Installation

There are two ways to place the Router. The first way is
to place the Router horizontally on a surface. The second
way is to mount the Router on a wall.

Horizontal Placement

The Router has four rubber feet on its bottom panel. Set
the Router on a flat surface near an electrical outlet.
WARNING:
Do not place excessive weight
on top of the Router; too much weight could
damage it.

Wall-Mounting Placement

The Router has two wall-mount slots on its bottom
panel. The distance between the two slots is 57 mm
(2.24 inches).
Two screws are needed to mount the Router.

Follow these instructions:
1. Determine where you want to mount the Router. Make
sure that the wall you use is smooth, flat, dry, and
sturdy. Also make sure the location is within reach of
an electrical outlet.
2. Drill two holes into the wall. Make sure the holes are
57 mm (2.24 inches) apart.
3. Insert a screw into each hole and leave 2 mm
(0.8 inches) below the head exposed.
4. Maneuver the Router so two of the wall-mount slots
line up with the two screws.
5. Place the wall-mount slots over the screws and slide
the Router down until the screws fit snugly into the
wall-mount slots.
