Your Signal Booster: Optimal Antenna Positioning for your Network
Do you know the feeling? Your PC is under the desk, the Router in a corner – and the WiFi reception is miserable. The JARFT Magnetic Base is the simple but ingenious solution. Instead of leaving the Antennas directly on the device in the radio shadow, you move them with the 1.5-meter Coaxial Pigtails to an ideal location. Whether on the desk, on the window frame, or on a shelf – the improvement in signal strength and stability for your Network is often dramatic.
Maximum Compatibility for WiFi, IoT & Helium
Thanks to the widespread RP-SMA standard, this Antenna Mounting Accessories is a real Swiss Army knife for your radio applications. It is the perfect addition to improve PC WiFi reception, but is also excellently suited for IoT projects with ZigBee or LoRaWAN. It is particularly popular in the Helium community: position your Helium's Antennas with this base at the window and significantly increase the chance of Witnesses and thus your earnings.
Plug & Play: Installation in Seconds
You can save yourself complicated installations. The application is extremely simple: unscrew your existing rod Antenna from your device and screw it onto the RP-SMA jack of the magnetic base. Place the base on any metallic surface – the strong magnet ensures a rock-solid hold. Then connect the RP-SMA plug of the Cabling to your Router, your WiFi USB Adapters, or your Helium. Done. No tools, no effort.
The Clever Problem Solver for your Network
This RP-SMA Magnetic Base for Rod Antenna is more than just a cable. It is a cost-effective problem solver that often makes expensive hardware upgrades unnecessary. Before you invest in a new Router or WiFi Repeaters, try to optimize the position of your Antennas. You will be surprised what a difference the right placement makes for your Network. Please note that the base is designed for indoor use and is not weatherproof.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: Allows moving the Antennas out of radio shadow for drastically better reception and Network performance.
- Pro: Universally compatible with devices and Antennas (WiFi, IoT, Helium) thanks to the RP-SMA standard.
- Pro: Easy and flexible installation with a strong magnetic base without tools.
- Pro: Very cost-effective method for increasing the performance of an existing radio Network setup.
- Note: The 1.5m Cabling introduces a small, physically induced signal attenuation, which is usually overcompensated by better positioning.
- Note: The product is designed exclusively for indoor use and is not weatherproof.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does this magnetic base fit my AVM Fritz!Box Router?
No, AVM Fritz!Box Routers typically do not have detachable antennas and therefore no RP-SMA connectors. This magnetic base is designed for devices where external antennas can be unscrewed as standard, such as many models from TP-Link, Asus, Netgear, or for PC WiFi USB Adapters, enhancing your Network setup.
Can I increase my WiFi range with this base?
Indirectly, yes. The base itself does not actively amplify the signal. However, it allows you to position your existing WiFi Antennas in a location with better reception and fewer obstacles. This position optimization usually leads to a more stable connection and better signal coverage, which is perceived as a gain in Network range.
Is the magnet strong enough for mounting on a moving car?
No, the manufacturer and dealers advise temporary use on vehicles, which refers to interior use or use when stationary. The adhesive force is not designed for external mounting on a moving car and is not safe. Consider specialized Vehicle Antennas - 4G, 5G, WiFi for such applications.
What does 'RP-SMA' mean and how do I know if I need it?
RP-SMA stands for 'Reverse Polarity SubMiniature version A'. Look at the antenna connector on your device: If it has an external thread and a small hole in the center, you need an Antenna (or as here, the cable end of the magnetic base) with an RP-SMA plug, which has an internal thread and a central pin. This is a common type of Coaxial Connectors used with WiFi Antenna Cables.
Does the magnetic base also improve reception for my Helium miner?
Yes, it is ideal for that. Many Helium miners come with a small standard Antenna directly connected to the device. With this magnetic base, you can position this very LoRa / Helium Antennas, for example, directly on a window pane (by adhering to the metallic window frame) or on a heater, which can significantly increase the chance of 'Witnesses' and thus the effectiveness of the miner.
Is the cable suitable for 5 GHz and 6 GHz WiFi (WiFi 6E)?
Yes, the magnetic base is designed for all common WiFi frequency bands. However, signal attenuation is generally stronger at higher frequencies. For critical applications where minimal loss is crucial, the Antenna Cables length should always be kept as short as possible, especially for 5 GHz Components and Dual-Band / WiFi 6E / WiFi 7 Antennas.
