Netgear R6220 wall mount screws
I have been unable to find a screw around the house that will fit the Netgear R6220 mounting holes on the bottom of the router. I have recently mounted a switch and a power strip on the wall without ...

I went with Handi-Pack Part# 86063 6 x 3/4 SLOTTED FLAT HD SHEET METAL SCREWS STAINLESS. These use a flathead instead of philips, but I had already made the holes and put in an anchor trying to use different screws before, so I just turned them in slowly with a hand screwdriver and now I've had the router up on the wall for a day or so without any major issues.
I sent someone else on the errand of trying out different screw sizes with a spare R6220 that wasn't currently being used for anything (I have several of these things), so I don't recall which store it's from. I'm gonna say it was either Home Depot or Menard's. The person I sent said this was all they found in the whole place that fit, and they only had one 2 pack of the screws there.
Note: I also see the number "89149" in marker on the back side of the bag the screws came in. I don't know why, but it might be important. Maybe the part no. was wrong on the bag or maybe that other part no. is similar.

Sadly you're going to need to go to a hardware store. I'd just bring the router with to see what you can find that will fit it.
