Use the four self-adhesive rubber feet to prevent your Router from

moving around on your desk or when stacking with flat top units. Only

stick the feet to the marked areas at each corner of the underside of your

There are two slots on the underside of the Router that can be used for

wall mounting. The Router must be mounted with the LEDs facing

upwards.

When wall mounting the unit, ensure it is within reach of the power

outlet. When wall mounting the unit, ensure that the rubber feet are not

fixed.
