A Signal for All Cases: Flexible in 2.4 & 5 GHz Network
This Antenna is your Swiss Army knife for a stable WiFi connection. Thanks to its ability to operate in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, it's extremely versatile and future-proof. Whether you want to supply older devices with WiFi-N standard or modern clients with fast WiFi-AC, this Antenna masters both. The gain is cleverly distributed: 3 dBi in the 2.4 GHz band for a solid basic supply and a stronger 5 dBi in the 5 GHz band to intelligently compensate for the higher attenuation of this frequency through walls and obstacles.
Built for Eternity: Your IP65 WiFi Antenna for All Weather
Where other Antennas give up, this one just begins. The robust plastic housing is certified according to protection class IP65. This means it's not only completely protected against dust ingress but also withstands strong jet water from any angle. A rain shower or cleaning with a garden hose won't harm it. An additional rubber lip on the housing edge reliably seals the mounting hole and prevents moisture from entering. This makes it the perfect choice for use on machines (M2M / IoT Antennas - 4G, 5G, WiFi), in harsh industrial environments, or for mounting on your motorhome or boat (Yacht / Camper / Motorhome).
Rock-Solid Hold: Theft-Proof Thanks to Fixed Screw Connection
Forget shaky magnetic bases or adhesive pads that come loose at the first jolt. This Antenna is designed for professional and permanent through-hole mounting. You simply drill a hole in the desired surface (e.g., housing cover, vehicle roof, ceiling panel), pass the thread through, and secure it from the back with the included lock nut. The result is a rock-solid, vibration-proof, and significantly more theft-protected hold – a decisive advantage for installations in public spaces, on vending machines, or vehicles.
Perfect 360° Coverage for Your Central WiFi Upgrade
As a true Omni-Directional Antenna, it sends and receives signals uniformly in a 360° sphere around itself. This characteristic makes it ideal for central mounting points. Install it centrally on the ceiling of your workshop, on the roof of a control cabinet, or on a workbench to ensure comprehensive and reliable WiFi coverage in all directions. Instead of just bundling the signal in one direction, this Dual-Band Omni-Directional Antenna supplies the entire surrounding area with a stable Network.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the antenna's RP-SMA connector fit directly onto my WiFi Router, like a FRITZ!Box?
Yes, absolutely! Most common WiFi Routers with detachable Antennas, for example from AVM or TP-Link, use exactly this connector. You can simply unscrew your old WiFi Antennas and connect this one directly to improve your WiFi Network.
Can I also mount the antenna outdoors on my motorhome or in the garden?
Sure, it's perfectly suited for that. Thanks to its IP65 protection class, it's completely dustproof and withstands heavy rain. The secure screw connection also ensures it stays firmly in place even while driving, making it ideal for Yacht / Camper / Motorhome applications.
Does this antenna extend my WiFi signal over several hundred meters?
No, this WiFi Antenna is not designed for that. As an Omni-Directional Antenna, it fantastically improves signal distribution and quality in your immediate vicinity. For very long distances, you'll need a special Directional Antenna that specifically bundles your signal.
What's the benefit of the difference in gain between 3 dBi and 5 dBi?
It's simple: Your WiFi Antenna boosts the 2.4 GHz band with 3 dBi and the 5 GHz band with 5 dBi. The higher gain in the 5 GHz Network is great because this signal is more attenuated by walls. Your antenna cleverly helps to compensate for this, enhancing your 2.4 GHz Components and 5 GHz Components.
Do I need to drill a hole for mounting the antenna?
Yes, the antenna is designed for clean through-hole mounting. You drill a small hole, pass the thread through, and tighten it from the other side with the included nut. This ensures an extremely stable and secure hold, part of robust Antenna Mounting Accessories.
Does the antenna also work for other radio technologies like LoRaWAN?
No, absolutely not. This WiFi Antenna is a specialist and exclusively optimized for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi frequencies. If you use it for other frequencies, it can significantly degrade performance or even damage your transmitting device. For LoRaWAN, you'd need specific LoRa / Helium Antennas.
