How Do I Mount the Cable Modem on the Wall?
Wall Mounting Instructions
Complete these steps to mount the modem to the wall.
1 Locate the place where you want to mount the modem to the wall.
2 Hold the modem level against the wall and at an angle so that the screw hole
mounting guides are facing up and against the wall.
3 Lay a pencil, pen, or other marking tool into each guide and mark the place on
the wall where you want to drill the mounting holes.
4 Using a drill with a 3/16-inch bit, drill two holes at the same height and 4 inches
apart.
5 Are you mounting the cable modem into a drywall or concrete surface where a
wooden stud is not available?
If yes, drive the anchor bolts into the wall and then go to step 6.
If no, go to step 6.
6 Install the mounting screws into the wall or the anchor bolts, as appropriate, and
leave a gap of about 1/4-inch between the screw head and the wall.
7 Verify that no cables or wires are connected to the cable modem.
8 Lift the cable modem into position. Slip the large end of both mounting slots
(located on the back of the modem) over the mounting screws, and then slide the
modem down until the narrow end of the keyhole slot contacts the shaft of the
screw.
Important: Verify that the mounting screws securely support the modem before
you release the unit.
9 Connect the cables and wires to the modem.
