About Wi-Fi Placement
Certain building materials are particularly effective at blocking Wi-Fi signals (see table below) and should be taken into consideration when locating the AGS2128G/AGS2128XG/AGS2128G-2/AGS2128XG-2. Line of sight is not necessary since MIMO technology takes advantage of reflections in the over-the-air path to carry additional data. However, it is recommended that when possible, the device should be placed in a centralized location within the home to yield the best possible results for Wi-Fi coverage.
For reference, the construction materials listed below vary in the amount of attenuation that exists:

Building Materials and Their Effect on Wi-Fi Signals

Material| Wi-Fi Attenuation
Wood, Drywall, Particle Board, Tile| Low
Glass| Low
Water| Medium
Bricks, Cinder Block| Medium
Plaster, Stucco| High
Concrete| High
Tinted or Low-E Glass (metalized)| Very High
Metal| Very High
Note: The lower the attenuation, the better the performance.

Installation Variables
Before installing a AGS2128G/AGS2128XG/AGS2128G-2/AGS2128XG-2, consider what additional services may be implemented. Various access points are available on the back or the bottom of the unit which may or may not be used. Prior to determining the unit’s final location, you need to account for the following variables:

• Optional: Where will any Ethernet cables be routed?
• Where will the fiber pigtail be routed.
• What type of building material is used in this facility? Make sure you have the appropriate drills, drill bits and fasteners for routing Ethernet or power cables as they pass through walls and the like.

Unpacking the AGS2128G/AGS2128XG/AGS2128G-2/AGS2128XG-2

Tabletop Mounting Dimensions
Dimensions are shown here for your reference.

Tabletop Mounting the AGS2128G/AGS2128XG/AGS2128G-2/AGS2128XG-2
Any AGS2128G/AGS2128XG/AGS2128G-2/AGS2128XG-2 can be mounted flat on a tabletop. Four (4) rubberized feet are pre-installed on the bottom of the unit to provide a non-skid surface when placing the unit on a table or shelf.
Keep the following information in mind when considering tabletop mounting:

• Due to component placement inside the chassis and under the AGS2128G/ AGS2128XG/AGS2128G-2/AGS2128XG-2, do not remove the rubber feet that are installed on the bottom of the unit. Locate the device on the desktop in a location that is unlikely to be bumped or jostled.
• Make sure that the Ethernet cable[s] (if used), POTS line, fiber pigtail, and power supply wiring attached to the device are secured properly and out of harms way.
  Note: Once the unit is connected and turned up, Wi-Fi network parameters are persisted in memory. For this reason, if power is lost to the device, it will be re-discovered on the  network automatically, without operator intervention.

Routing the Fiber Pigtail
The fiber interface for the AGS2128G/AGS2128XG/AGS2128G-2/AGS2128XG-2 is located on the bottom of the unit. The SC/APC connector is embedded (but visible) within an alcove with fiber raceways built in to assist in routing the fiber safely.
The illustration below shows the preferred routing for the AGS2128G/AGS2128XG/AGS2128G-2/AGS2128XG-2.

Critical Variables

• Allow for two complete wraps of fiber around the fiber raceway. Storing extra fiber as shown ensures that the pigtail selected for deployment has enough slack without having to deal with extra fiber.
• Make sure excessive bends in the fiber are not present. Refer to the fiber manufacturer’s bend radius standards for specific information.
• Ensure that any wall mounting fasteners do not interfere with fiber routing.

Wall Mounting Dimensions
Dimensions for wall mounting of a AGS2128G/AGS2128XG/AGS2128G-2/AGS2128XG-2 are included here for reference.

Note: There is no wall mount bracket necessary to mount this device. The bottom chassis itself includes appropriate cut-outs and hanger posts to facilitate wall mounting.

Wall Mounting the AGS2128G/AGS2128XG/AGS2128G-2/AGS2128XG-2
The AGS2128G/AGS2128XG/AGS2128G-2/AGS2128XG-2 can be wall mounted. Keep the following information in mind when considering wall mounting:

• Locate the device on the wall in a location that is unlikely to be bumped or jostled.
• Make sure that the Ethernet cable(s) (if used) and power supply wiring attached to the device are secured properly and out of harms way.
  Note: Once the device is connected and turned up, Wi-Fi network parameters are persisted in memory. For this reason, if power is lost to the device, it will be re- discovered on the network automatically, without operator intervention.

To wall mount the AGS2128G/AGS2128XG/AGS2128G-2/AGS2128XG-2

• Find a suitable location for attaching the unit to the wall. Be mindful of the power source and Ethernet cable requirements when determining a mounting location.

• Using the template included in the back of this guide, mark the two screw locations on the wall, making sure the device will remain level after mounting.
  Note: If attaching to sheet rock or gypsum board, a wall anchoring system is recommended to ensure the bracket is securely attached to the wall. For wood attachment, wall anchors are not required.

• Drill holes in the wall and install appropriate wall anchors if required.

• Thread the screws into the wall anchors and tighten leaving a gap of about 1/8″ between the screw head and the back of the unit. This allow you to slip the AGS2128G/AGS2128XG/AGS2128G-2/AGS2128XG-2 over the mounting screws and pulling down to secure it to the wall.

Mounting Screws
Depending on the material you are attaching to, use a screw of sufficient length and strength to support the device once attached to the bracket. See below for specifications on what type of screw is recommended.
The two mounting holes on the back of the unit are designed to accommodate the following screw type:

• Larger than 7mm wide (.28″) and less than 14mm wide (.55″)
• Screw shaft < 3mm in diameter (.12″)
• Screw length > 6mm (.24″) and less than 20mm long. (.79″)

Additional Mounting Considerations
The options for mounting a device system are many. From a best practice’s standpoint, keep the following in mind:

• Recommendation is to mount the device as high as possible for Wi-Fi performance reasons. However, this deployment scenario still mandates that an AC power outlet is located within the power cord distance of the Wi-Fi source. If installing in a greenfield environment (initial installation), plan on placing the device within 4 feet of the power supply. As an alternative, longer power cords are available to extend the distance between the device and the power supply.
• It is also recommended to keep cabling neat and well secured. A tidy installation allows for increased safety and an overall neater appearance. Common tools used for this purpose include cable ties and velcro straps for routing cable out of the way. Also, custom made wall plates are often used where the majority of cabling is hidden behind a wall.
• It is also recommended to install the device at least 6 inches away from the upstream network equipment (DSL modem, cable modem, ONT, and the like).

Final Set-up and Testing

AGS2128G/AGS2128XG/AGS2128G-2/AGS2128XG-2 Reset Behavior
EDGE systems support a variety of system reset functions and provide multiple methods for invoking each of these functions, as described in this topic.
These functions and behaviors are defined as follows:

• Basic reset (reboot): Restarts the unit.
• Configuration reset: Resets the RG configuration settings (those visible to the subscriber/Admin user in the EWI, such as SSIDs, LAN IP scope, etc.) to defaults, but retains operator-configured management settings (those visible only to the Support user in the EWI, such as ACS URL and SPID).
• Factory reset: Resets the router to factory default settings. A factory reset also removes devices from network management systems such as Support Cloud and the Smart Home Admin Dashboard, where applicable.

These reset functions can be used as troubleshooting and/or operations tools for reset/removal scenarios, whether the device is deployed as a Residential Gateway or as a subtended WAP. Hardware-invoked resets behave differently depending on how long the reset button is pressed, as described below.
