Have you considered a Mikrotik GrooveA 52 with high gain 2.4GHz external aerial?
Paired with a RFI CD2409 aerial it will give you good range outside the vehicle.

Yes.
You should allocate at least 2GB if you plan to run the Dude as a trial. If you have a more extensive requirement for the Dude you need to plan ahead.

jebz

Shutdown the CHR and increase the HD size in ESXi allocated to the CHR. Restart the CHR and it should automatically pick up the increased disk size. You could also add another virtual drive in ESXi for the Dude files. This will stop it over running and crashing the router when it runs out of space.

The question is: are you using an UPS for your rack/router? Normally, the log "system,error,critical router was rebooted without proper shutdown" is the result of power loss and not an actual error/crash. . Yes one power supply of the router is on a UPS that is also connected to a VM work...
