How Do I Mount the Cable Modem on the Wall?

Before You Begin

Before you begin, choose an appropriate mounting place. The wall can be made of

cement, wood, or drywall. The mounting location should be free of obstructions on

all sides, and the cables should be able to easily reach the cable modem without

strain. Leave sufficient clearance between the bottom of the cable modem, and any

flooring or shelving underneath, to allow access to cabling. In addition, leave

enough slack in all cables so that the cable modem can be removed for any required

maintenance without disconnecting the cables. Also, verify that you have the

following items:

 Two wall anchors for #8 x 1 inch screws

 Two #8 x 1 inch pan head sheet metal screws

 Drill with a 3/16-in. wood or masonry bit

 A copy of the wall-mounting illustrations shown on the following pages

Mounting Instructions

You can mount the DPC2505/EPC2505 cable modem directly on a wall using two

wall anchors, two screws, and the mounting slots on the bottom of the modem. The

modem can be mounted vertically or horizontally.
