Router Positioning
The F5260 router provides network access from anywhere
within range of your wireless (WiFi) network.
However, WiFi
signal strength diminishes over distance and as it passes
through the construction material of your home (e.g. walls,
metal and water).
For best results, follow the guidelines below.
Improve range by positioning your router at a central
location and minimizing the number of walls or ceilings
between your router and network devices.
Ensure optimum reception by positioning your device
so that the signal moves straight through drywall or
open doorways instead of at an angle.
Maintain wireless signal strength by positioning your
router away from glass, metal, water, mirrors, brick and
concrete.
Avoid signal interference by keeping your router away
from electrical devices (e.g. microwaves, baby monitors
and wireless headsets).
Keep your router and its cables accessible by placing it
in an open area near a power outlet.
Wall Mounting (optional)
The F5260 router can be optionally mounted on the wall.
Before you mount the unit on the wall, write down the required
information from the label.
1.
The unit is mounted with the top of the unit facing up.
Ensure that the wall you use is smooth, flat, dry, and
sturdy.

The unit is mounted using two M3x20 or equivalent
compact head screws (20mm length and 3mm in
diameter).
3.
Install the two screws 5 1/4 inches (135 mm) apart
approximately 3/4 inches (20 mm) below the desired
top of the unit per the following figure.
4.
Adjust the screws in the wall leaving their heads
extending approximately 1/8 inch to 3/16 inch (3.5 mm
- 4 mm) from the wall surface.
5.
Carefully align the screw heads in the keyholes on the
back of the unit and gently push it onto the wall moving
it downward to secure it in the narrow portion of the
keyhole slots.
