I know the following is likely to be lost in the bowels of CD:
While we are on this subject, try to mount your Radio "Pancake Style" to maximize the use of the two antenna's in the router with the field access point. Ideally mount it about at least 18" off of the ground.
You will maintain a higher quality connection if you do this. You do not have to do this, it is a best practice.
As for making the router easy to find, my colleagues around the field will thank you. We will further thank you if you make it easy to observe the status lights on the CRIO,
although we do realize you can just follow the ethernet cable out of the back of the router. Making our life easier is like giving us cookies.

Drawer Slides: Did your team realize that if you use drawer slides, you can't use the "slide" feature after it is all wired? I learned that my rookie year the hard way. Back in the IFI days when we used drill motors as the kit drive.
