The performance of the WAP11 is very poor at high temperatures. To create this enclosure I used a fuse box which I got at Home Depot for around $12. Since the WAP11 will not fit in the original box inside the fuse box I had to strip it. For details see below. I also mounted the lighting arrestor inside the box as well as a 12V fan I purchased at radio shack. This setup hopefully will keep things cool for a while. If the fan is not enough I will have to add a Beltier cooler. The lightning arrestor from Hyperlink Technologies.

Another view of the stripped WAP11     Inside the WAP11 v2.2   WARNING: If you do this you will void your warranty!! 1. Remove the 4 rubber feet at the bottom of the WAP11. 2. Remove screw on the blue sections where the rubber feet where. 3. Separate the blue section from the gray section carefully buy pushing apart a blue and a gray foot. This will open the WAP11 sideways and not brake the clip. This will however void your warranty! 4. The board slides out with part of the gray section from the other gray section. The WAP11v2.2 is just a PCMCIA card mounted on a custom control board. The PCMCIA card next to a standard sized card. The WAP11 card will not fit unto a notebook slot because of the tab from the antenna. The external antennas connectors. The control board.       Send your questions or comments to stefan@techdroid.com
