How to set up a wireless router in a vase?

According to Wikipedia, “a wireless router is a network device that performs the functions of a router router but also includes the functions of a wireless access point. It is commonly used to allow access to the Internet or a computer network without the need for a cabled connection. It can function in a wired LAN (local area network), a wireless only LAN, or a mixed wired/wireless network”.
Most current wireless routers feature the following characteristics: LAN ports, which function in the same manner as the ports of a network switch, a WAN port, to connect to a wider area network and the wireless antennae, which allow connections from other wireless devices (NICs – network interface cards, wireless repeaters, wireless access points and wireless bridges, for example).
