I don't know how much wiggle room you have...but..I have a D-LINK
wireless/gb router, and it's SMALL. about 5-6" x 4-5" x 1-2". as for
the antenna, you could remove the duck antenna, and replace it
with a different antenna with a cord to attach to the modem, of
course this would mean there would be a wire coming out of the panel.
The only thing strange I have had with the DLINK was it didn't autosense
my WAN cable modem. I had to physically set it to 10mb/sec speed. Then
again, this may have been a problem with the cable modem as well, since
I lost my last wireless router when lightning struck near the house, and
blew out the wireless router, the cable modem seemed ok, but maybe it
has a problem also...the PC had no problem linking to the cable modem
however, and it has a 10/100 autosensing port.
