I have my Bullet set up with the same antenna Ed has......but I didn't think of the 90 degree connector so mine has the bullet lined up straight behind the
antenna. I took a leftover piece of skirtboard from my slide seal replacement and wrapped it around the bullet and used a PVC conduit clamp to screw it to a 5" square plastic cabinet carousel(some people call them lazy susans). The carousel I then mounted to the ceiling of the first overhead cabinet behind the copilot chair, which put the line of the antenna nicely above the Girard Awning. It is slightly too long to rotate the assembly 360 degrees, but by unplugging the ethernet cable I can flip it from front and sideways facing to rear and sideways facing. I have also run a 120v outlet to that cabinet with the cable run in the space under the cabinet liner and above the wood cabinet bottom, so the whole installation is hidden.
In the setup of the Bullet software, there is a spot to enter a network name to be connected to, which I assume Ed is using when he connects to the Bullet and surveys to see the 9 networks he mentioned. If you set it up with "any" as the network name, it will pick up any network in range without human intervention. Combine this with the strength indicator lights on the side of the Bullet, and I just rotate it until the strength goes up to red. This makes the setup extremely easy to use, and is probably the key advantage to using a Bullet in this application.
I have mine running downstream to a Linksys Cisco rotor with a secured network. All of our wireless devices, 2 laptops,
tablet, Skype phone, wireless printer, etc all connect to the secured network. In a park where I hear continuous whining about
Wifi, because there aren't enough IP's,we are doing fine!
Oh, a couple of other points. I bought my Bullet from L-com where Ed and I both bought our antennas. It was a considerably lower price than the
link Ed provided. My whole installation, including the downstream router, cost about $70 which is less than half of the price of the WaveRV antenna Jeremy is using.
The main advantages of the bullet are the:
low installation cost
high strength signal reception
automatic signal pickup with signal strength metering, just by pointing the antenna
