How are you mounting your wifi antenna?

Happy November
I gave the NRF24L wifi module with antenna.
Looking for ideas as to how to 'mount' it?

Thanks

Nrf24 is not WiFi.

Which module is this? All the ones I've seen use a pcb antenna...

Just because the nrf24 has some of the same frequencies as WiFi does not make it WiFi. Perhaps with the right software you can do some WiFi but I think that the length of the packets will come up short.

I have nrf24L01+ modules that have a connector on the PCB and use an external antenna. However, I have not worried about mounting and have no suggestions to make.

The question posed by DrAzzy still stands: "Which module is this?" A URL (link) would help, along with the manufacturer and the model number.

Sorry, used 'wifi' instead of wireless
I have the NRF24L01+ With antenna
Looking for feedback on how users are mounting this unit, for best reception

Thanks

Its not just packet length, WiFi is spread spectrum modulation, the nRF24L01 does OOK and (G)FSK only

Please link to the specific unit you're using - there are literally dozens of designs using the NRF24 chip, and the provisions for mounting those and the type of antenna, if any, they have varies between these designs.
