YOUHUA Dual RP-SMA Wi-Fi Antenna 6dBi 2.4/5.8GHz 8.6in Magnetic Base 200cm Cable

Dual-band RP-SMA antenna for desktop and mobile gear

This YOUHUA antenna kit adds two 6 dBi omnidirectional elements that cover 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands. The magnetic base lets you position the 8.6 inch whips on any ferrous surface for better signal pickup. A 200 cm cable gives plenty of reach from a PCI-E card, USB adapter, router or hotspot. It supports wifi 6 and earlier 802.11 standards.

Replaces stubby stock antennas on cards and routers

Swapping the short whip that ships with most PCI-E or USB wireless adapters for these taller 6 dBi elements can raise received signal strength in fringe areas. The gain jump is worth it when the existing antennas cannot hold a steady link through walls or at distance. No driver change is needed because the RP-SMA male plugs fit the same connectors already on the device.

Check connector gender and clearance before ordering

Your wireless card, router or camera must expose RP-SMA female jacks; male-to-male will not mate with SMA or reverse-thread variants. Verify there is enough vertical space for the 8.6 inch height plus cable bend radius at the mounting point. The magnetic base requires a steel or iron surface; non-magnetic chassis will need an alternative mount.
