Mounting Instructions

Determine where you want to mount the router and which side you should use to
mount it. Make sure that the wall you use is smooth, flat, dry, and sturdy. Make sure
the location is within reach of an electrical outlet.
•
Before drilling holes, choose the template (short side or long side) that fits your
installation. Drill the holes using the correct template.
•
Insert a screw into each hole and leave 8 mm of its head exposed.
•
Position the router so the wall-mount slots line up with the two screws.
•. Place the wall-mount slots over the screws and slide the router down until the
screws fit snugly into the wall-mount slots.

HOW TO CREATE A HOME NETWORK
What is a network?
A network is any group of devices that can communicate with each other. A home
network can also include Internet access, which requires a router like this one.
A typical home network may include multiple computers, a printer, a modem, and a
router. A large home network may also have a switch, additional routers, access
points, and many Internet-capable media devices such as TVs, game consoles, and
web cameras.
Modem
Connects a computer or a router to your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
Your ISP may have provided one. The modem is a device that connects to a phone
jack or your cable TV outlet.
Router
Connects your wireless and wired network devices to each other and to the
modem (and to your ISP).
Switch
Allows you to connect several wired network devices to your home
network. Your router has a built-in network switch (the Ethernet ports). If you
have more wired network devices than available Ethernet ports on your router,
you will need an additional switch to consolidate the wired connections.
How to set up a home network:
Purchase the proper equipment. For a network that includes Internet access,
you’ll need:
•
Computers with an Ethernet port or wireless networking capabilities
•
A modem for connecting to your ISP (typically supplied by your ISP)
•
A router to connect your computers with each other and to the modem
•
Internet service to your home, provided by an ISP (Internet Service Provider)
•
Make sure that your modem is working. Your ISP can help you set up your
modem and verify that it’s working correctly.
•
Set up your router. See “How to install your router” on page 6.
•
To connect a computer or other network device to the network, see “How to
connect a computer to your network” on page 10 and “How to connect other
devices” on page 11.
