WIRESPEED INSTALLATION
The WireSpeed operates up to 300 feet (91.4 meters) from a PC or Ethernet hub over 100-Ohm, Category 5 cable.
For installation on a wall surface, follow the instructions below. If you are not installing the unit on a wall surface, skip this
section.
Installing on Hollow Drywall Surfaces (Optional)
To mount the WireSpeed to a wall:
1. Obtain two pan-head screws (one #8 and one #6) and two #4 - #8 wall anchors (not provided).
2. Place the WireSpeed against the wall where it is to be mounted, note and mark the upper keyhole slot and screw
location.
3. Drill a 3/16” hole for the upper anchor and insert the anchor and larger (#8) screw until the face of the screw is
approximately 3/16” from the wall.
4. Test fit the unit on the screw, and adjust the screw depth for a sliding fit.
5. With a pencil, mark the opening in lower mounting tab. Remove the unit from the wall.
6. Drill a 3/16” hole for the lower anchor and insert anchor. Hang the unit on the upper screw.
7. Insert the smaller (#6) screw through the hole in the lower mounting tab.
8. Tighten the lower screw lightly with a screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
