This page describes a hardware design for the [MelbWirelessRouterProject Melbourne Wireless Router Project]

This page is a bit lacking in in-depth explanation at the moment.   I, DanFlett, will add more detail in the coming weeks as well as more photos and updated diagrams.

Please add your discussion points and questions under the headings at the bottom of this page.

This document describes the component layouts and exact dimensions of the router outdoor enclosure, the indoor connection box, the sunshade and the pole mount.  It was originally drawn with Micro$oft Visio.  If you'd like a copy of it in Visio or Autocad DXF or DWG, please email Dan Flett at conhoolio_at_hotmail_dot_com.
