How Do I Mount the Modem on a Wall? (Optional)
You can mount the residential gateway on a wall using two wall anchors, two
screws, and the mounting slots located on the unit. The modem can be mounted
vertically or horizontally.
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 residential gateway
without strain. Leave sufficient clearance between the bottom of the residential
gateway and any flooring or shelving underneath to allow access to cabling. In
addition, leave enough slack in all cables so that the residential gateway 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
