Outdoor Router
I am thinking of installing my Wi-Fi router in a waterproof box behind my camper rather than running coax inside. Will the signal stay strong as it passes through a plastic box and the aluminum trail...

Plastic box. YES. Aluminum siding .. I think not.. But it is worth a try.
NOTE: some routers (Linksys makes some like this) the antenna can be removed (unscrewed basically) And Linksys used to make a "High-Gain" antenna, on a base. with a length of COAX on it.. You could easily mount the router OUTSIDE and by extending the coax (A good electronics store or DX Engineering can make up the needed cable) mount the antenna INSIDE.
