should be easy to do and might serve you well if you want to reach 
several routers with one antenna.

yes, something like that. (and don't forget to have several meters of 
space or some metal in between these).

i don't know about your climate, but here (up to 30 degrees in the 
summer) there is normally no active cooling necessary for wrts, if you 
have them installed in the shadow (and certainly not if you have proper 
natural ventilation like in your birdhouses). this may look different 
for other devices like e.g. foneras.
