can i lay it on it's side or does it have to be vertical? null

It can be layed on its side once you remove the base. There is a single t8 torx head screw holding it on.

It works fine on it's side. Had the same question myself and decided it was worth it to buy one and try. Been using it for about a month now with no problems and the coverage has been excellent in a single level home.

You can lay it on its side... It won't be level, but you can. It does have a stand mounted permanently to the base.

You can lay it down on it's side. No difference

Yup you can lay it on it's side. Does not change anything. I just tried it.

Signal strength is the same. I have mine vertical only to save space. Technically, it should be placed vertically.

It's kinda meant to stand straight up. It's a big router, I'm sure you can rig something up but it's not really made that way.

It has Intel's fastest wi-fi and DOCSIS chipset, so I'm pretty sure it needs room to breathe -- and comes mounted on a vertical stand -- so that's pretty much your answer.
