Most people run the cable through the slide seals. The bottom corner.
Long answer.
I use a smaller antenna (less gain) that suction cups to the inside of the window. I winter at a RV resort that installed a wifi system that provides each site with enough band width to stream. Last year when at 100% capacity we could stream day and night. We use the Alfa system to provide us with a secure network.
From what I have been told the wifi towers have a donut shaped signal and the towers we have, have a ground base signal to cover inside the donut. In other words you can be too close to the tower. We are within eye sight of at least 3 towers and all 3 show up at 100% in the setup selection screen. Lastly, no system can overcome the limitations of the wifi system you are going through, it just improve the signal to and from the tower.
