How Do I Mount the Modem on a Wall? (Optional)
You can mount the cable modem on a wall using two wall anchors, two screws, and
the mounting slots located on the unit. The modem can be horizontally mounted.
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 without
strain. Leave sufficient clearance between the bottom of the cable modem 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, as appropriate for the wall
composition
