Step 4: Install the router
You can place the router on a flat surface, attach it to a wall, or install it in a standard
19-inch (48.26-centimeter) network equipment rack.
You can also use any off-the-shelf 100 mm VESA standard mount to secure the router
to a wall, a pole, or another surface.
Install the router on a flat surface
The router ships with four self-adhesive rubber footpads.
To install the router on a flat surface:
Stick one rubber footpad on each of the four concave spaces on the bottom of the
router.
The rubber footpads cushion the router against shock and vibrations. They also
provide ventilation space between stacked routers.
