Also, you don't necessarily need vents, especially not for simple short term testing of an enclosure or mount location. But once you find the sweet spot, you definitely want weep holes for condensation and if hit by the sun and/or working hard at all that router is going to want a bit of airflow. For short testing of your setup no reason to go crazy on it. No holes on the top surface. I'm imagining the box mounted vertically for airflow and moisture weeping reasons, and most routers are designed to stand up on edge these days. I don't know if antenna polarity becomes an issue or not with internal antenna designs mounted 90 off vertically as I haven't worked that way with internal antenna routers. Marty
