Not really, but you can insulate it to protect the temperature of the wire.

Airport alternatives.

I don't know if this would be an option, but there are airport alternatives for around $200 that do even more than airport.

Look on linksys.com for a Wireless Cable/DSL router. They are fully compatible with airport and work even better/handle more functions.
