Caution If you are mounting the router on drywall, use two hollow-wall anchors (1/8-in.
with 5/16-in. drill bit, or M3 with 8-mm drill bit) to secure the screws. If the
screws are not properly anchored, the strain of the network cable connections
could pull the router from the wall.
The following requirements must be met when you mount the router:
• Because the LEDs are used as status and problem indicators, the LEDs on the
front panel must face upward and must be easily visible.
• The back panel must face down to reduce strain on the cable connections.
• The power supply must rest on a horizontal surface, such as the floor or a
table. If the power supply is not supported, strain on the power supply cable
could cause it to disconnect from the connector on the router back panel.
