shelf without drilling

[naanwar]

What are the options to install a simple shelf on a concrete wall without drilling?
Needs to withstand about 2 Kg.
The DIY shop's website did not offer a solution.
Thanks

Ikea has many designs of wall-leaning shelves for you to choose.

Apart from that, I don't think one can install a proper shelf on a wall without drilling.

Sounds like somebody is making a man cave in the bomb shelter.

My thoughts too. I hope not the poor maid/tenant though...

Agreed, but on the other thread about the bomb shelter filter, he wants to be able to run his PC in there or something. I think that would be overkill if he was putting his maid in the windowless cave. I would probably convert mine to do the same if I had one.

Nope. Not a man cave. I wish! bomb shelter has been converted into a food pantry and luggage storage

Getting a poor signal from my wireless router which is next to the broadband fibre's terminal point in the back of the condo. 2 vents in the bomb shelter. one vent connects to the maids room. So relocating the router into the living room by snaking the Ethernet cable through the maids room and the vents.

The shelf is for the wireless router.

so nothing exciting...boring stuff.

Why do you need to have the router on a shelf? Fix it with few zip-ties to the shelter vent cover.

PS. Home / power plug + access point / repeater not a good solution? With wifi you will not utilize the fiber's potential anyway.

Or you could use those hanging racks used in showers.

while part timiing some where .. in a famous furniture maker's Big boss home, in SG, did somethng like that, and the guy went "ah, cannot, my IT guy says Routers must be placed straight up or signals will go haywire .. fix it properly .. "

Yah, it was hidden out of view and with enough ventilation too

Oh, to OP: make sure you have enough ventilation or your router may fry ..

Sounds like overkill and you'll still have less than top notch wireless speeds. Instead, acquire a pair of powerline ethernet adapters, available all over Funan, and then buy a second router. You set a static IP address on the router, kill DHCP and plug it into the powerline adapter. Voila.. great wifi at both ends of the condo.

THE BOSS in my household shut the zip tie idea down....She kinda told me this "You can come up with a solution better than that!!"....

This simple solution may fly with the THE BOSS as long as the hanger is "Cute".

Yes - Thanks. I have been warned that these routers do get hot.

Thanks. I researched your solution and in the HardwareZone forum there were lot of complaints. I guess it depends on the electrical wiring in the house. I will research this once I settle down and see how it goes.

Maybe you'll see something in Daiso or Ikea then.
