    There is actually a gap between the router's back and the plate which is enough for a flat screw head to slide in.

Hi xcskier,

 

You are correct, those holes are intended for wall-mounting the device. If you decide to proceed with it, please make sure that the screws will not make contact with the board inside the router to avoid any issues.

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
