🚀 Alfa APA-M25
Dual-Band 8/10 dBi Directional Indoor Panel Antenna (RP-SMA)
The Alfa APA-M25 is a dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz indoor panel antenna that fits directly onto any RP-SMA female antenna port. Its directional patch design gives 8 dBi of gain on 2.4 GHz and 10 dBi on 5 GHz, focusing signal in a 66° horizontal by 16° vertical beam rather than radiating in all directions like a standard dipole. A tilt-and-swivel base lets you aim the panel towards an access point, making it a practical upgrade for the stock dipole antennas on RP-SMA USB adapters and routers. The antenna radiates from the side opposite the RP-SMA connector, so face that side towards the access point.
- Dual-band: 2.4–2.5 GHz and 5.150–5.875 GHz.
- Directional patch: 8 dBi at 2.4 GHz and 10 dBi at 5 GHz, with a 66° horizontal and 16° vertical beamwidth.
- Direct mount: RP-SMA plug (male) connector with tilt-and-swivel base; the connector tilts up to 90° and rotates up to 180°.
- Compact and light: 167.3 x 66 x 18 mm and 72 g.
- Wide compatibility: suits dual-band Wi-Fi adapters with RP-SMA female ports, such as the Alfa AWUS036ACH, AWUS036ACM, AWUS036ACHM and AWUS036AX. On tri-band Wi-Fi 6E adapters such as the AWUS036AXM and AWUS036AXML it covers the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands only, not 6 GHz.
