Physical security for routers....

[jtzako]

At my office I'd like to secure a couple routers so they dont "walk off"... They are wireless so I dont want to just lock them in some desk drawer etc.

Has anyone seen a relatively easy way to secure a device like this? Such as a pre-made plexiglass box with lockable lid?

I'd prefer a way to prevent someone from pushing reset buttons as well but thats really a secondary concern.

You could put some bolts through them (carefully!) and chain them to the desk. I've seen some kinda metal braid rope thing advertised for securing laptops, that's a possibility.

Another is bringing in a sledgehammer, assembling everyone, and making pointed comments

Ummm, a room with a locked door that only a couple people have the key too? Preferably with all your important computer electronics in that room.

Get yourself a computer with a locakble side door and front door.

Mount the router inside it, and lock the door.

You could lock the computer case to the desk with a Kensington lock.

Or, you can do like they do in 7-11's, and mount it it up above a drop-ceiling tile. Out of sight, out of mind.

a secure closet or office is best. or dont bring things to the office if you dont trust your coworkers.
