AC1200 R6220 wallmount
This is one of the least technical questions on this board. I'd like to mount my 6220 router on the wall. The bottom face of the router has two -o- type holes, as if intended for two mounting screws to enter the center circle, then latch the router by sliding the screws one way or the other into the slots. However, each hole has a plastic plate, so that a screw cannot penetrate behind the bottom face, thereby locking the router to the screws. It looks as if I could gently push one side of the plate, break it loose, get the other end to stick up through the bottom face, and remove it with a needlenose pliers. But then the insides are exposed to the screws, which may not be a good idea (shorting?). Any suggestions here?

Dexter: thanks for reply. If the holes are intended as wall mounts, why are they sealed off so that screw head cannot hook onto the bottom plate? And therefore, are those little tabs that seal each hole supposed to be removed? Jim
Dexter: sure, glad to. Please understand that my insistence on details is because I have learned the hard way to not just accept what someone posts to my questions without knowing either who the responder is, or what the basis is for their response. As you can see, the "holes" look like mounting screw ports, except that they are closed off by the plates which are flush with the inside face of the bottom. So the only way to use them as mounting ports is to break out those flush plates, which makes me wonder if they really are (now) intended to be used as mounting ports.
