[isf-wifidog] WeatherProof WIFI Dog Routers

[Dana Spiegel]

Actually, even that's not really enough. You need proper gasket sealed  
cabling too.

The Metrix units aren't Linksys hardware, they are Soekris hardware,  
which are much more resilient to the temperature variations (the  
Linksys is built for indoor temperature variations, not outdoor ones),  
though the Linksys will likely be fine in the right enclosure.

The Metrix units I discuss below have:
* Weatherproof NEMA 6x enclosure with mounting hardware
* Rugged IP67 Ethernet plug and socket connection system
* Two gasket-sealed Female N pigtails
