RT-N66U wall mount bracket?

[1.21 jigowatts!]

greetings, i purchased an RT-N66U yesterday and i'm puzzled on how i am supposed to wall mount this device. are there any wall mounting brackets commercially available for this wireless router? i absolutely have to mount this on a wall, i don't have a choice.

p.s, i looked at the screw slots on the router and can't find any screw, pan head or countersunk, that can go in those slots to mount the device on a wall. the slots are not deep enough on the device so that common screws can slide into them. the screw heads are too tall. i even tried roofing nails but the heads are too wide.

not a good solution for me. this is so depressing. i've got a wifi router with amazing range and it looks like i won't be able to use it because there is no proper way to wall mount it without doing a hack job. really, what would it take asus to sell a proper wall mount?


if only i had a maker bot:

Strange, I just used some flathead wood screws and the router is on the wall. Find smaller screws?

Install a small shelf on the wall. Brackets and material are available at any home improvement store. My previous employer installed all of their Cisco wireless access points that way.

In addition: depending on the wall type, wall mounting may not be a good idea at all.
E.g. if it is a concrete wall with steel arming, it would defenitely have a negative effect to have the antennas almost flat against such a wall.
Wood fixed with steel screws, aluminium plated isolation between te walls, and many other materials may have their effect on the range (overall or in certain spots of the house).
A save rule of thumb is to leave at least 30 cm / 1 foot free around the antennas, and preferably have a free line of sight to all clients.

In order to keep router distant from wall (for air ventilation) I used two metal candle holders and a simple nail to attach them on the wall

I reversed the candle holder and I left the nail slightly out so I can attach the router using its mounting bracket holes

it's cheap, simple and it works perfectly: the router is firmly attached and doesn't move/tilt when I plug/unplug cables
