Wall-mounting placement
The router has two wall-mount slots on its bottom panel. The distance between the slots is
75 .6 mm. Two screws are needed to mount the router.
Note—
Linksys is not responsible for damages incurred by unsecured wall- mounting
hardware.
To mount the modem router:
1.
Determine where you want to mount the router.
Make sure that the wall you use is
smooth, flat, dry, and sturdy. Also make sure the location is within reach of an
electrical outlet.
2.
Drill two holes into the wall. Make sure the holes are 75 .6 mm apart.
3.
Insert a screw into each hole and leave 3 mm of its head exposed.
4.
Position the router so the wall-mount slots line up with the two screws.
5.
Place the wall-mount slots over the screws and slide the router down until the
screws fit snugly into the wall-mount slots.

Installation
Setup
1.
Connect the provided phone cable to the DSL port on the modem router and a wall
jack.
Note—
If you experience static on your phone line, you may need a microfilter or
splitter.
(This is required for users in the UK; other users should contact their ISPs
to verify.
ISDN users do not need a microfilter.) If you require a microfilter, you
must install one for each phone or fax that you use. To install a microfilter, plug it
into a phone jack that has ADSL service, then connect one end of the provided
phone cable to the microfilter’s DSL port.
2.
Connect the power adapter to the modem router and plug into a power source.

For wired setup, connect one end of the provided Ethernet cable to your
computer’s Ethernet adapter and the other end to an Ethernet port on the
back of the modem router.
Repeat step 2 for each additional computer or device that you want to
connect to the modem router.

If your computer’s Ethernet adapter is not set up, refer to the
Ethernet adapter’s documentation for more information.
