I might design a 3D printable adapter for it if I get bored.
Optimal would be to route the antenna connector to the outside - maybe to a more sturdy SMB connector, so that even better WiFi antennas such as used on routers and PCs could be screwed on.

Would this antenna work better in a horizontal or a vertical position, or does it not matter?
Horizontal should be much better. The RF waves move like a donut.
