1. What does it mean that the antenna is directional?

Type of antenna which maximizes its gain in particular direction. Like a flashlight concentrates its light at one spot, directional antenna emits radio waves in a concentrated beam. Directioanl antenna radiation pattern: To learn more about directional antennas take a look at -> „link”

2. Why placing router and antenna in one enclosure is better?

The biggest benefit of router and antenna being next to each other is the reduction of cable used to connect the elements. Reducing the cable length reduces its loss, which has high impact on signal quality.

IPXY is an Ingress Protection Rating, which defines protection levels of certain product. X from 0-6 defines security level from penetration of solids. Y from 0-9 defines security level from water.
