This switch is designed for indoor use only. If you want to connect it to a device located outdoors, the outdoor device must be properly grounded and surge protected, and you must install an Ethernet surge protector inline between the switch and the outdoor device. Failure to do so can damage the switch.

Before connecting this switch to outdoor cables or devices, see

https://kb.netgear.com/000057103 for safety and warning information.

3. Check the LEDs

When you connect the power adapter to the switch and plug it into an electrical outlet, the LEDs indicate the status.

2. Mark and drill two mounting holes in the wall where you want to mount the switch.

The two mounting holes must be 7.01 in. (178 mm) apart, center-to-center.

Leave about 0.125 in. (4 mm) of each screw protruding from the wall so that you can insert the screws into the holes on the bottom panel.
