i saw a DIY video before where you make a book looking box(the leather bound ones) to hide your router in. Wink

@Czarina That's what I was gonna suggest! Hollowing out a book! Great minds think alike!

@trumocha2 we could be best friends like right now! OMG hahahhaa

Although I have a concern in doing this kind of DIY, routers tend to heat up and it will not be a good idea to put it in a closed enclosure, as it won't have enough ventilation. It'll be good if your room is air-conditioned but over long using, it would still heat up quite a bit.

Awesome idea @Czarina - could you cut the book in some way (maybe add air holes) to keep it cool?

@catmorley yes that would help with the ventilation. maybe cutting where the ventilation part of the modem would be best. I searched a lil about this and the comments said the same concern but they said it still does depend on how the modem would react with the enclosure.

Also saw a post that used a magazine holder to hide the modem. Wink
