Wall-mountable template.
Ostracus:
Actually my "feature" request is an example of how the simplest things get overlooked. For all the wall-mountable units Obi should include a template. That can be as simple as two marks on the edge of the quick-start guide.
Wilbour:
I never looked at the bottom of my OBi but are there "key holes" for mounting on the wall? If so, I have in the past, used a piece of paper and rubbed a pencil or chaulk over the holes or just poke them with the pencil. Just remember that this template will need to be reversed on the wall. If there are not "key holes" then the last few sentences are irrelavent.
Shivers:
I purchased my Obi110 in March, 2011 and the keyholes for wall mounting are upside down! Take a look at your Obi and see if you can wall mount it right side up. I can't imagine that after a year of production run this hasn't been fixed. I suppose I could rotate it 90 degrees from TDC and mount it sideways.

My Obi110 (old style with relay) has the keyholes oriented so the cables will hang naturally from the bottom (back of the unit) rather than sprout from the top like flowers from a vase. True, the logo will be upside down in this orientation. Perhaps they should just leave the logo off the unit and save another nickel. I could probably mount a mirror at a 45 degree angle above the logo (like the mirror over a patient's head in an Iron Lung) and view the logo through the mirror. Fortunately for me, my two OBis lay flat. I haven't found anything that I want to put four screws into (although at times this Beagle...).
Wilbour:
When you think about it, most manufacturers want the cables to hang down. This reduces the stress on the ports and keeps water out in the case of a disaster of sorts. All of my routers, modems ect. are on the wall behind a door. I like the hidden from view look.
