minimum of six inches of space between the sides, front, and the back of the router and walls or other obstructions. If you are installing
the router in a perforated enclosure, the perforations must cover at least 60 percent of the surface.
Ensure that the proper power and network cabling is installed at the site. For information about cabling, refer to
