I think they were trying to say that the cage in front with the AP behind, acts as a directional antenna. Similar to how Yagi antennas have metal elements that aren’t connected in front of the actual antenna.
But I don’t know enough antenna theory to know if that’s correct.
It’ll more likely act as a faraday cage.
I guess lol
Yeah, It looks like a Cisco Aironet 2702i WAP.

I must be missing the joke or something? That’s literally what this is. It’s an AP not a directional antenna. I have used a ton of directional antennas. Hell I have one that I’m using to get my network to my garage which is 1/4 of a mile away.
