You'll have to be more specific in your question.
What kind of wireless equipment?
More importantly, what kind of weather?
Following the question above, what do you mean by "weather proof"?

I can think of lots of suggestions but I would need to know what hbmartin was asking, plus how much heat the item/s gave off since just sealing it in something might not work if it produces too much heat. |

build a sealed wooden enclosure. If heat is a problem, raise it and have it open underneath. I assume theft is not a problem? If so you have to use some sort of metal, but be careful as that might play havoc with the signals. _________________ Aim:gsfgf0 |

I read something a year or so about someone who did that. He took a linksys router and used an outdoor waterproof wiring box from a hardware store, _________________ Inspiron 4100 & Sun UltraAXe
