Mounting the Wi-Fi Extender
Install the Wi-Fi Extender on any standard 14 TPI 1” threaded
antenna mount. The Halo does not include a standard antenna
mount. Standard antenna mounts can easily be found online or
at your local marine supply store.
Access to the Extender may be occasionally needed, so
consider mounting in a location that can be reached at all times.
Take caution when transporting or underway as branches and
other objects can cause damage to the Extender and antenna.
Mounting on a Ship
The Wi-Fi Extender can be installed
in many dierent locations
on-board. For best results, mount
the Wi-Fi Extender as high above
the water line as possible. This will
increase the chances of capturing
Wi-Fi via line-of-site.
Mounting on a Vehicle or Building
The Wi-Fi Extender can be installed on vehicles or buildings to
capture long distance Wi-Fi. For best results, mount the Wi-Fi
Extender as high o the ground as possible.
