I have a 14 port gigabit switch...not sure I want to take it apart and start drilling through the case. |

| if i rememeber correctly there were only like 5-6 screws that held the cover to that switch on. i took that off and then was a board and some other stuff in there , i didnt touch any of that but there were a few spots were you could get to the bottom metal of the case and i just drill a few holes and used drywall screws. and then put the cover back on. i should have taken a few pics with the cover off but its simple it took like 20 minutes to mount that. I always use a 5/8 piece of plywood behind the leviton box, that way mounting anything, anywhere in the box is easy. |

| Hrmm...ok.
I have a leviton box too, but the builder did not mount it on plywood...it's attached to the concrete of my basement somehow.
I need to find a way to mount my switch, but I'm not sure how. I need a large switch, like you have, but I don't have room inside the leviton box.
I'll probably need to make some sort of shelf above the box and just set the switch on top of the shelf and reroute all the wires. |

Sammamish, WA | I think it would be nice if there was a section for comcast home network wiring or maybe a sticky set up because I bet alot of people are going to be running wires in their homes and some good tips would be useful. |
