Maybe I am missing something here, but if you put a
wireless router at the top of the tower why do you need
anything else other than power up the mast? You can can
talk to the router locally over the air without the need
for a cable connection.

There are two issues that I am ignorant to;
1; is the WEB services that are built into these routers in
order to program them too often is DIS-Allowed through the
AIR.
Most make you connect to a "DMZ" drop [cat5] on the router to
bypass the NAT firewall and administer the stats that way.
I have never succeeded in getting to that page through Wi-Fi
methods. Some routers are easy to get to through the NAT drops
provided on the router there are generally 2 or 3 of them. You
can NULL cat5 into the things direct from a laptop, but AirNet
into them? I haven't seen that [yet].
