Restricted space for home wife router

I need a new wifi router for home use. It has to live in a cupboard next to the NBM box. I am restricted to a depth of 120mm. Do any Netgear wifi routers come in this depth?

    thats a pretty small space. 

    Even the MR60 (one of their smallest routers) is 4.8 inches x 4.8 inches x 2.5 inches. 

    120mm works out to 4.72 inches. 

    So thats close. But if its to big, then you'd need to look for a different vendor or even a travel router. 

    You will need to be aware that these devices do generate heat and that heat needs to be able to be vented. Enclosing them in a small cabinet without ventilation is a good way to drastically shorten the lifespan of them.
