AH! so you have a cable that goes from the small connector to the detatchable antennae from the router. . . Is that cable also from the inside of the router? What about the connector and the metal plate bit? I may have an AP I can do that with, that is bloody brilliant mate! I would like to offer a suggestion, and by no means is it a criticism, do you have any of these:
I have seen them in a few lengths and they should pass the smaller connector and you could use that to protect that small cable... Just a thought. too bad the connector pegs wouldn't pass the connector but it may be possible to cut one on one side to slide it over the cable.
It's just a thought, I would have to futz with it to give you an actual visual but I think I have what I need and if I do I will see about making it up. Anyway here is the gallery for my "cooling tower"

You will see the original gate in the first picture the second after I cut out the piece I needed, it came damaged and I am not sure if it was that damaged initially but since I bought it to cut it was not a problem, and while I hate to destroy any Lego, it wasn't to expensive and it was already broken. The part that I made is third, fourth and fifth you can see that it appears almost factory but if you look carefully at image three the bottom left corner is factory and is more rounded. I used a nail file to rough the nubs down after they were cut near to the base, then rolled the piece while i filed it to make it round then used another file that had progressively smaller grit to polish it as best i could. The sixth image shows it from the side completed. The corners of the fan have the second corner slope pieces but I could not put them all the way around because they block the fan. I tried to come up with a way that it looked good and did not leave a large gap for little fingers. So I added the little drop down that closes that hole. and setup the grate with four clips on either side so that i could use a 1x4 smooth plate to get a very small clearance between the grate and Legos under it. I really wish they made the smooth plates in odd numbered bricks like 1x5 or 1x3 anyways.
