Wall Mount Sky Router?
- Thread starter thenewoc

My method is 4 screws
2 below to support the router and 1 either side nearer the top with a long bag tie across
got a pic please?
@ANDARIAL it works for you and thanks for posting but I'm looking for something more like an acrylic shelf with an upward lip at the front so it could be mounted and used in the future for other routers if necessary.
Here's a slightly different take on the screw method but it does mean fitting it to suit the size of a particular router which may mean making future holes and repairs which is something I wanted to avoid.

These + normal zip ties = win

I can't believe that not having a couple of mounting holes provided = progress, but this is the second router I've now had which doesn't have this most basic of features.
Had a couple more ideas, one being mini floating shelf, then I thought of modding a bookend, such as a basic steel type from MUJI.
The cable tie option just wouldn't cut it for the position out on show that it needs to be in, close to the master socket in the hall. I also think they probably wouldn't sit flat against the wall once the strap had gone round the router. There are some screw mounted zip tie slot mountings but again these wouldn't be neat enough and too bespoke to a specific size of one router.

I don't think that the router's power cable partially wrapped around the black network cable qualifies as PoE.
Also, don't the router's instructions suggest that the outer antennas should be at 45 degrees for best performance? Or was that tried and found to be incorrect in this situation?

Nor do I see any other devices routed to any router…
Yes indeed
Lmao! The Openreach modem is connected to the ASUS router, then I have a cable going to the box on the wall which leads to an 8-port switch in my bedroom, everything else is wireless.

I have no idea. But wireless performs fine, plus the mother would only end up snapping the buggers off
