I have been using a wifi radio called the Bullet for about 4 years now with great success to capture a week ISP hotspot near my marina. I would like to mount the unit in a 2" diam PVC housing up on a spreader to gain extra signal strength. My question is what kind of hole should I drill in the bottom of the PVC (with a cap on ) to be able to thread onto a 1"-14 thread shakespeare 4" stainless"Deck Mount"? I will be running Cat6 from the unit down inside the mast to my router. So question is how to thread the PVC tube onto a 1"-14 mount.
Also, the 8dB gain omni antenna will stick out the top of the PVC and I will need to drill a hole in the top cap as well to accommodate this.
Probably drill some holes in the bottom cap for drainage of any condensation and also to allow some heat dissipation. The unit is supposed to be weatherproof for outdoor mounting, but I prefer to house it in a makeshift PVC tube. All ideas welcome! Thanks!
