Consider these recommendations:
Choose a location close to your computer if you will also use the residential
gateway for high-speed Internet service.
Choose a location that is near an existing RF coaxial connection to eliminate the
need for an additional RF coaxial outlet.
Choose a location that is relatively protected from accidental disturbance or
harm, such as a closet, basement, or other protected area.
Choose a location so that there is plenty of room to guide the cables away from
the residential gateway without straining or crimping them.
Choose a location that allows adequate ventilation around the residential
gateway.
How Do I Mount the Wireless Residential Gateway on a Wall? (Optional)
Your residential gateway may include mounting holes so that, if you wish, you can
mount the residential gateway to a wall. This section describes how to mount the
residential gateway to a wall, and includes a list of the equipment that you will need
along with suggestions for choosing an appropriate place to mount the residential

Select an Appropriate Place to Mount the Wireless Residential Gateway
You may mount the residential gateway to a wall that is made of cement, wood, or
drywall. When choosing an appropriate mounting place, refer to the following

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.
Allow enough slack in all cables so that the residential gateway can be removed
for any required maintenance without disconnecting the cables.
Choose a location that allows adequate ventilation around the residential
gateway.
