2. Installing the Router

You can place your router on a sturdy tabletop or workbench or mount it on a vertical surface.

Placing the Router on a Tabletop/Workbench

When placing the router on a tabletop or workbench,
•
Make sure that the tabletop or workbench is clean, flat, and sturdy.
•
Allow 10 cm (3.9 in.) of clearance around the sides of the chassis.
•
Do not stack multiple routers together.

Mounting the Router on a Vertical Surface

Mount the router on a vertical surface with four pan-head screws and the four brackets at the
bottom of the router.
Caution:
Securely anchor these four mounting screws in the vertical surface. If the screws are not
properly anchored, strain of the network cable connections can pull the router from the wall.
Install the router in such a position that the LEDs can be read easily.
Securely fix the external power supply unit of the router, preventing the power cord from falling
down.
Follow these steps to mount the router on a wall or other vertical surface:
Step 1: Install four pan-head screws on a wall or other flat vertical surface (with reference to the
distance between the four brackets as shown below), and ensure that each screw sticks
out 6 mm (0.24 in.) on the wall.
Step 2: Hang the router on the screws by the four brackets.
