Step 1 Open wrt54g and Remove it from the plastic housing you will need a med size Phillips screw driver to remove the mounting screw on the board. | Step 2 Take the RJ45 Receptacles and punch down all wires for a 568B on the Orange Connector. punch down green and orange wires for a 568B leaving the Blue and Brown unpunched. I use Blues for positive and Browns for Negative. Cut the power transformer connector from the transformer approx 3 inches from the end. | Step 3 Mark the out side of the enclosure if you wish to have the LED's visible from the outside of the box. Drill the holes (word doc with led spacing included). I use some scrap Fiber optic and silicon it in place for light way paths for the leds, Clear silicon works also.
Step 4 Lay router board into box and mark holes for mounting and drill all wholes. I use the rings off of ringed tie wraps for the stand offs. make sure to silicon holes before you insert screws to prevent water damage. | Step 5 Take the RJ 45 Receptacle Box and the power transformer and connect VTOM and mark (+) Pos and (-)Neg Leads Now connect Both blue wires to the (+) Positive lead (-) Negative lead to Both brown wires. | Step 6 Drill holes for waterproof cable pass thru connectors. install connectors No picture available.
