Default connecting a router table to a table saw

I have a JET contractor saw and today I went out to Rockler and bought the router table extension wing for it. I saw hoping that the table came with some ideas on how to attach it. But all it came with was leg levers, so they apparently are suggesting to add legs to it.

How do you go about attaching this firmly and securely? I was planning on bolting it to the extension wing of the table saw and then maybe drilling into my 30" fence rails for supporting it out towards the end.

I would like to try and avoid doing legs under it because I move the saw around my garage a good amount.

Thanks.

There are lots of methods to do this, and no hard fast rules I'm aware of. I've attached angle brackets to the wing and fence rails, then set the router table on top of the brackets....shims help level it. I've also added bolts through the front and rear rails with a Biese fence.
