It turns out thus... When you remove the sticky label with the barcode, etc on the back, you find 4 allen bolts holding the top and bottom together. The 2 spare bolt holes confuse a bit! Undo those, and the 2 halves unhinge from the end with the power button on. As the back is full of holes, I was going to put a couple of screws through them to hold it onto the wall. However, if you do that, you'll not be able to replace said 4 bolts as there's now a wall in the way! So, thread a bit of string through randomly selected holes, and then put it all back together. Hook the string over a screw head placed behind where the modem now is. Voila! Steve
