In this video I'll show you two different methods for wall-mounting computer equipment such as network hubs, routers, power adapters, or power surge protectors.
In 2024, I'm still using the techniques Dave demonstrated in this video, to install equipment in the field, when we need a wall-mounted solution, & brackets are not available. Your advice has continued to help & offer solutions, that serve the community. Thanks Dave! :)
I have actually employeed Dave's method of mounting items, with wire at my job, however I took a slightly different spin. Instead of using aluminum wire or chain-link ties, I use #6 solid copper wire, with a gray rubber-like insulation. The copper is stiff, but pliable, and the rubber-like insulation 'grabs' everything it's wrapped around - no sliding out or slipping unexpectedly. The best part is that it's free, since my employer orders this ground wire by the pallet. I also picked up a commerical-grade Wiha Round Nose Pliers, to assist with the wire bending. It's turned-out to be a godsend, for a variety of items, whether their intended mounting was just poor or completely non-existend. I've even had a few co-workers ask where I got the brackets, to which I've explained that it's just insulated # 6 solid copper ground wire. Thank you David for a genuis idea! :)
The aluminum ties are a cool idea. There are lots of different kinds of perforated metal tapes--such as galvanized plumber's tape--that will do the same thing faster. For small or thin objects, I use square bend hooks a lot of the time.
If you have a bunch of items to mount, do it like telco always does: screw an appropriately-sized sheet of 5/8" plywood to the wall studs. Then use #8 slotted pan-head sheet metal screws for each device anywhere on the board. For some reason, not painting the bare board always seems esthetically pleasing, probably because it's always been done that way.
great ideas & thanks, I've struggled with this for years, going to use it in my office TODAY to clean everything up. Another idea I saw was to use cup hooks or screw eyes, and span across the device to be mounted with rubber bands or zip ties.
all you need is a metal clothes hanger, you bend it to be straight and use it to grab whatever it is you need to set in place with pliers, I've mounted a wood plank to a window's metal bars behind my bed to mount a huge ass projector, among many other things, like strapping a wifi antena to a 4 story tall metal rod, women around you may not like you destroying all the metal hangers but its a wonderfully useful tool :P
Good advice to build from. What I like to use mostly is adhesive Velcro. I staple/nail the soft fluffy bit to the wall then stick the stiff clingy bit to the object to be mounted. Yes the adhesive on the velcro bits can come undone but I've had things for literally (not hyperbole) years without it coming undone. It's easy and makes things removable and replaceable.
I dunno what it's like elsewhere in Europe but here in the UK a hammer drill and a set of masonary bits would be considered a normal part of a DIYers toolkit.
Another great idea for making a template for wall mounting something that has mounting holes, is to photo copy if than cut it out. This is a spot on way to get the accuracy. Great job on ideas for wire mounts
I wall mounted my old desktop computer monitor and CPU tower using scotch tape and staples. The secret is to use lots of hot glue to reinforce it all. My only problem was not taking in to account the need for an electrical outlet. I solved that by running a 50ft extension cord from the other side of the room. Just duct tape it to the floor.
Nice video, thanks for the tips.. short, thorough, and to the point ! Guys like you are changing the world for little guys like me.. We appreciate you!
Wow, I've been watching your videos for a while but this is the earliest one I've seen. Your production values have increased tremendously since this one was made!
+SuperSunnyCid12 [The Cyanogenmod Robot] You may need a flux capacitor and a Gazinta-Valve for the engrave to clock. You'll also need an extra supply of motherchips to make life easier for ya. Remember if the ratios aren't calibrated in the mainframe then the bat file will fail to equal zero, creating the Maximan effect.
I've never had much trouble with double-sided tape, personally, but I will say I love using Velcro: The adhesive works pretty dang well on most surfaces, and allows for easy removal of anything you might want to pull off. Great way to combine storage and display of musical gear, like my corny drum machines and old junky keyboards (obviously not the big ones, mind you).
When looking at ways to mount electrical / electronic devices that are designed to be placed on flat level serfaces it is important to first check to see if mounting it at any other orientation may be damaging to the device. Mechanical devices may be affected by the direction of the force applied by gravity. Electric and electronic devices may be affected by the direction of thermal convection, and changing the orientation may cause heat to build up where it was not met to or not get away from where it was supposed to.
Yes you are right. I have seen devices ruined , from improper orientation and thermal heat issues. Sometimes the heat generating devices are placed near one side of the enclosure to dissipate heat, per design. If that source of heat becomes at the bottom of a vertical installation then components can be damaged. Another concern is that I have seen many devices with intermittent - hard to troubleshoot problems due to improper mounting orientation, if not considered. But, Im sure many things these days can be wall mounted.
Man, i have watched several of your videos today... i love how you do stuff, so im totally subscribing WITH email notifications! lol keep up the creative good work!
Have you any tips for extremly heavy stuff? i want to wall mount my old car, she's about 780kg or 1720lbs and she's painted green. Also ever thought about seiling-mount stuff? After all, ceiling is just an area you paid for and never use.
If you have a pile of stuff to mount, or want/need to make many fewer holes in the wall, you can mount everything on a sheet of plywood, and then figure out how to position that. I've used both "freestanding. held up by my desk" and "mounted to the wall - inverted with standoffs". Inverted meaning - the *back* of my board faces the room and can be painted, and all my devices are "hidden" mounted.
OK this is scary. I spent all afternoon watching this guy restore old computers. Inspired by the layout of the computing kit on the wall behind him, I decided to investigate if I could wallmount my cable modem and router.. The router has convenient wallmounting holes, but the cable modem doesn't. I googled "How to wallmount", and this video popped up as the #1 hit for me.
Another source of strong wire to larger items is cut up a wire hanger and bend it as needed. Hangers are a good source of wire for various uses where strong, stiff wire is required.
I hate mounting power boards. I'm embarassed to admit that I never thought of making a paper template. Much easier than 3d printing a clamp, which is what I did last time.
I like industrial rubber bands. With rubber you can remove and easily adjust without re-screwing. There are very heavy sturdy rubber bands that are flat and wide. You can drill a small hole on both sides of the flat rubber band or strap then screw it down with an appropriate screw and oversized fender washer to the mounting surface. The big advantage with rubber straps, other than re-mountability, is that they can maintain positive and consistent tension (grip and grab) where static anchors can lose tension and get loose.

Bit of a problem if you've already mounted your scanner on the wall.... Then you need double-sided tape to secure your power strip to the scanner platen, innit.
@greg well... yeah ok but Not Giving a fuck and charging more are two completely different things you can charge more and give a fuck and still be an amateur.
Props ... your stuff is really nicely organised. My walls are stone, so i find myself either mounting to a board and then attach that to a wall, or installing a 10" cabinet for network and phone stuff.
+Zacchi400 where did he said that he covered the wall with wood? Anyway, I also think that fixing it with method 2 directly to the wall will do things worse. If you have to move, then removing the tape will take some paint away. I think that hiding some holes is easier than painting the wall.
You are doing this the hard way... For items that are deigned to be wall mounted simply stick a piece of clear scotch tape on the back over the holes, mark the holes with a marker, peel your tape back off and stick it on the wall. Instant template.
If you live in a wood framed home with sheetrock. Finding the stud behind the wall and using a long enough screw can be quite useful. There is usually a stud located to one side of an electrical outlet. Take off the wall plate. You should be able to see the mounting screws or nails . If you need to locate one away from the electrical plug then measure in increments of 16 inches from what you can guess is the center of the stud next to the electrical box or the corner. Corners and doors are tricky depending on which way the framer marked off the 16 from the corner or from the door. To locate the stud buy either the device called a stud finder or use a good (rare earth) magnet. I use the magnet method. They are cheap and multi functional. Most buildings are built on 16 inch spacing so start looking 16 inches out from the corner. Place the magnets up against the sheet rock and move around in spiral pattern small to large. At some point. They will stick to the nails or screw heads this will show you the location of the stud.
Why is this important? Having that stuff on the wall makes your room look messy. No ones wife wants cable running up the wall in the middle of a room. Also you put holes in your walls? Dude look up command strips, they go upto 7kg that’s plenty of pounds, last years and you just peel them off when you are done. They exist
Disorganized cables sprawling all over the floor in a mess of spaghetti looks a lot worse than wall mounted objects. And personally, I find wall mounted objects to be quite appealing. You'd only be doing this in your office anyways.
As a simpler alternative, I LOVE 3M red body tape. I use it to mount photos, art and other things. It'll take paint with it if you remove it but better than screwing into a wall and buying anchors.
0:46 - a much easier way is to photocopy the bottom of the device you want to wall mount. Trim the photocopy to size and you have a template with the mounting holes shown.
I wall mount extension strip with 3M mounting tapes that come in a roll. I got those permanent type. I also got good results with mounting a router and modem on the wall. But the drill and bracket shown here allows you to mount more heavier objects than modems or routers.
Ten years later, this is still fantastic and useful content!
I have no idea why but I just love the 90s feel of the channel!
This is even more true 6 years later
my cat is now wallmounted thanks
Jonrlax J. Uhh
hahhahahahahhaha
Not only cats,i also wall mounted my laptop,phone and even my desk!
lucky cat
I just wall mounted my walls.... thanks man....

Your videos are great. Short, informative, no BS, no robot voice, excellent.
still helpful even after 8 years!
Thanks for the tips!
What if I want to wall mount my floor?
XD
lol
Turn your head 90 degrees and magically it happens!! lol
It's really expensive but... hire a crane to flip your house 90 degrees, mount it to the wall, then flip it back. Voila!
LOL, use a crane and BOOM you have a wall mounted floor. BOOM. Done

It worked! I just mounted my girlfriend on the wall!
me too!
I see what you did there. In my head. Repeatedly.
I mounted her first ;)
Upside down?
Only one tool required and everything else is bare.
FANTASTIC tips! Exactly what I was looking for today to mount a power strip that does not have holes on the back. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks for the tips. I'm going to mount a brick on my wall now. :D
Matthew David Mount something else(like a home phone).
It's a brick wall Taehun Lee
Why are you planning to mount your iPhone to the wall?
So, just another brick on your wall?
I wall mounted my arm. Help.
dalekman tardis try a huge butcher's knife that'll probably help =D

+David Stroud how to wall mount my roof?
I wall mounted my wall using a wall as a wallmount. Help!
I wall mounted Dick after he died in a car accident. He looks rather splendid but it scares the kids.
Now I have mounted floor to walls. Thanks 😁
I didn't seriously expect to get any practical advice from this video that I didn't already know. I was wrong. Good tips.
If you have a bunch of items to mount, do it like telco always does: screw an appropriately-sized sheet of 5/8" plywood to the wall studs. Then use #8 slotted pan-head sheet metal screws for each device anywhere on the board.

all you need is a metal clothes hanger, you bend it to be straight and use it to grab whatever it is you need to set in place with pliers, I've mounted a wood plank to a window's metal bars behind my bed to mount a huge ass projector, among many other things, like strapping a wifi antena to a 4 story tall metal rod, women around you may not like you destroying all the metal hangers but its a wonderfully useful tool :P
EspHack Good prison tip there window-bars guy lol
LOL. What women like or even have wire hangers? And worse, since when was a steel wire hanger easier to bend than aluminum wire. UGh.

Maybe this works on cartboard American walls but here in Europe where we build with concrete this requires some more heavy tools sadly..
Sadly? Want to trade?

This is way funnier that I initially gave it credit for.
Directly hot glue your monitor to the wall, and then your tiny knob to the up and down part of the chair.

Can i mount my existential crisis to my wall?
you can only mount real things ur existential crisis is fake and self diagnosed
No only existential dread can be wall mounted

You sir, are a genius.
something i use for mounting is plumbers strapping you can paint it to blend in better also
The iBookGuy Photocopying works well for power strips too
+Slot1Gamer ....why didn't I think of that?
+Slot1Gamer Yeah, thats what I do lol.
Does the copy transmit electricity as well as the original?
Holy smokes! Why didn't I think of that! So much easier than measuring out the holes on those power strips! Thanks buddy, I owe you one :)
Man, i have watched several of your videos today... i love how you do stuff, so im totally subscribing WITH email notifications! lol keep up the creative good work!
Jeremy JMIAH Williamson why wall mount stuff it's not necessary.
This is awesome. I just gained 45% of now usable floor space by wall mounting my furniture and electronics to the wall.

Karl Fimm alternatively you can simply scan the underside of your power board and use the print out as a template 😊
Thanks, now my power board is stuck in the ADF.
Thank you sir I had a big router to fix under my desk and your ideas helped me a lot
I'm still stucked to the wall. Make a video on how to unmount please!
this is for something that you wont need to move

So simple that nobody thinks about it. This is a good video. Thank you.

Can I mount my car?
Frn So that it could drive you up the wall?
haha
+Frn any model car can be wall mounted with these methods dont know why you would want to though
iooi yeah but not the way he's doing electric things
+iooi I go to Thailand every year and I can verify that.
I had watch this video before, but I had forgotten about it, but now this is exactly what I need! Thx!
To make a hole pattern template, you can photocopy the object. I assume this would work with a scanner, too: a print out at 1:1 is a template.
my surge strip jammed up my scanner rollers. Now what?
Bit of a problem if you've already mounted your scanner on the wall.... Then you need double-sided tape to secure your power strip to the scanner platen, innit.
Thank you. I have so much junk and so little space. Your organizing tips are gonna help out big time!!!!
Can I mount my flowerpot
Yeah.
+Hikari heck you can even mount your mother! so... mount off!! :p
Hikarmeme ofcourse. You can wallmount the watering pump too
Instructions unclear, now I'm mounted to the wall.
I'm a cable tech we zip tie everything.
i'm also a cable tech
and if you zip tie everything, You're an amateur
or
you don't give a fuck
which one is it
@greg
well... yeah ok
but Not Giving a fuck and charging more are two completely different things
you can charge more and give a fuck and still be an amateur.
Martin Kuliza u r a fuk jajaja
So simple... why didn't I think of doing this. Thanks!
I know how to wall mount anything. Its called a shelf.
lol
Don't speak about your wife like that
How did you mount the shelf to the wall, fucktard?
Mark C M it's a free standing shelf the kit set ones from Walmart with a frame.
I'll bet you're fun at parties...

Using aluminum ties for chain link fences to mount small electronics is genius! Going out now to buy some and try it out myself. Thanks for the tip!!!
Update: the aluminum ties worked great! A+ Life Hack
You are doing this the hard way... For items that are deigned to be wall mounted simply stick a piece of clear scotch tape on the back over the holes, mark the holes with a marker, peel your tape back off and stick it on the wall. Instant template.
Ditto. I do this with masking tape. Tape the back of the power bar, poke my holes with a pen. Then put the tape on the wall, drill holes / screw.

If you live in a wood framed home with sheetrock. Finding the stud behind the wall and using a long enough screw can be quite useful.
There is usually a stud located to one side of an electrical outlet. Take off the wall plate. You should be able to see the mounting screws or nails .

At some point. They will stick to the nails or screw heads this will show you the location of the stud.
Ever heard of velcro?
Nail the velcro strip to the wall, then hot glue the velcro to the heavy object.
sounds more like the wall failed than the Velcro.
why not just hot glue the item to the wall and forget about the velcro
Well what if your moving?
Yep and there is different levels of Velcro that hold heavy weights
thanks - Those methods are very useful and creative using easy to find items.
what about my deditated wamborgini?

Why is this important? Having that stuff on the wall makes your room look messy. No ones wife wants cable running up the wall in the middle of a room. Also you put holes in your walls? Dude look up command strips, they go upto 7kg that’s plenty of pounds, last years and you just peel them off when you are done. They exist

And personally, I find wall mounted objects to be quite appealing. You'd only be doing this in your office anyways.
Dirk Hence the command strip suggestion. I understand the necessity, it’s the method and aesthetic I questioned.
Ah, but if this done in the husbands den or man cave the it is none of the wife's business. Do a search concerning "Man Cave Rules".
I will definitely have to try the aluminum ties for mounting some smaller items to my desk and wall. Good tips.
Still, my house is made from bricks, you wooden house piggies
Karol Kowalski cant srop laughing
Nice video. I saw your USB hub attached to your desk in a previous video and thought it was the coolest thing ever, now I know how you did it!
As a simpler alternative, I LOVE 3M red body tape. I use it to mount photos, art and other things. It'll take paint with it if you remove it but better than screwing into a wall and buying anchors.
Great tips! Looks like I'm going to be spending a day wall mounting my network gear.
I was just wondering how to mount my wifi repeater up high on a wall, and this will work perfectly. Thanks.
0:46 - a much easier way is to photocopy the bottom of the device you want to wall mount. Trim the photocopy to size and you have a template with the mounting holes shown.
My God. That surge protector hack is so simple that I should have seen it years ago!
I like the nice simple video, but the comments are wonderful to read.
I think this was the first video I saw on this channel. and I stuck around here
I like the aluminum tie wraps. Great new idea for me. Thanks.
Seems simple. I never put any thought to this. Very helpful.
Brilliant! Thank you, been looking all over for ways to mount small stuff.
Industrial strength velcro works too. Have had my surge protectors on there for almost 20 years now.
I wall mount extension strip with 3M mounting tapes that come in a roll. I got those permanent type. I also got good results with mounting a router and modem on the wall. But the drill and bracket shown here allows you to mount more heavier objects than modems or routers.
Great tip. I'm going out to buy some of that aluminum stuff. Looks super handy in my workshop as well as in my office.
Wow, that was great. I loved what you did. I always have a hard time mounting things on the walk. I'm saving this video!!
Nice idea using the wire ties for the chain link fences!
Just the little demo I needed, thanks
