Chapter 2: Installation
Introduction
This chapter covers the installation instructions and a
couple of typical deployment scenarios (see “Typical
Deployment Scenarios” on page 3). After you
install the EdgeRouter, refer to the instructions in “Using
EdgeOS” on page 5, which explain how to access the
Configuration Interface.
Installation of the EdgeRouter Lite
Mount the EdgeRouter on a wall, or place it on a
benchtop.
Note: Keep 20 mm of clearance next to the
ventilation holes for adequate airflow.
Cabling Requirements
• For indoor applications, use Category 5 (or above)
cabling approved for indoor use.
• For outdoor applications, shielded Category 5 (or
above) cabling should be used for all wired Ethernet
connections and should be grounded through the
AC ground of the power supply. We recommend that
you protect your outdoor networks from the most
brutal environments and devastating ESD attacks with
industrial‑grade shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti
Networks

Note: Although the cabling can be located
outdoors, the EdgeRouter Lite itself should be
housed inside a protective enclosure.
Wall-Mounting
To mount the EdgeRouter Lite on a wall you will need a
drill, a 6 mm drill bit, and a Phillips screwdriver.
1. Use a 6 mm drill bit to drill two holes 100 mm apart.
(You can use the template at the bottom of the page to
mark the holes.)
2. Insert the M2.9 Anchors into the holes. Use a Phillips
screwdriver to secure a M2.9x20 Screw to each anchor.
Leave a clearance of approximately 3 mm between
each screw head and its anchor.
3 mm
Note: You can also mount the EdgeRouter Lite in a
vertical orientation.
3. Position the EdgeRouter Lite with the Ethernet
ports facing down. Place the Wall-Mount Slots of the
EdgeRouter Lite over the screw heads on the wall. Then
slide the EdgeRouter Lite down to lock it into place.
