What this antenna is and who it fits

The QAREQU dual-band omni-directional antenna adds 12 dBi gain on 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands. It connects through an RP-SMA male connector with inner hole and ships with a 2 m RG174 cable. The magnetic base secures to any ferrous chassis such as a steel PC case.

Installation ease and common pitfalls

The magnetic base snaps onto a metal surface in seconds and the 2 m cable gives flexible routing. The antenna element is rigid copper and cannot be bent, so allow 195 mm of straight clearance above the base. Only an RP-SMA female jack on the host device will accept the supplied connector.

Capacity, headroom and limits

At 12 dBi the antenna concentrates signal horizontally, improving range for distant routers or access points. It does not generate its own wireless signal and relies entirely on the host radio. Impedance is 50 ohm and the 3 mm cable keeps loss low over the 2 m run, but very long cable extensions beyond this length will erode the gain advantage.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 12 dBi gain is working after I mount the antenna?

Compare signal strength before and after installation using your device's network utility; a noticeable rise on both 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands indicates the antenna is performing as specified.

What comes in the bulk pack and what must I supply separately?

The pack contains one 195 mm copper antenna with a 2 m RG174 cable ending in an RP-SMA male connector and a magnetic base; you must provide a device with a matching RP-SMA female port.

Should I choose this 12 dBi model or a lower-gain version for my setup?

Select this 12 dBi omni-directional antenna when you need maximum reach on 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz and can accommodate a 195 mm rigid copper whip; a lower-gain model suits shorter-range or space-constrained installations.
