Weatherproofing your antenna and/or cable connections on your outdoor router is essential to reliability 
and longevity of your product. This process prevents water from entering the router or antennas through 
the connectors. 

A good weatherproofing job consists of three wrappings: 

1. electrical tape 

2. butyl rubber

3. electrical tape

The first wrapping of tape should be at least two layers, followed by a single wrap of butyl rubber, and four-
layer wrap of electrical tape. This provides good protection from water, heat, and other potential hazards 
that could damage your router or antennas. 

Additionally, wrap your connections such that water is always directed down and away from connections.

The following sections provide guidance on weatherproofing directly connected antennas (

cable connections (

). The same materials are needed for weatherproofing both types of 

connections but the procedure is slightly different. For weatherproofing directly connected antennas, see
