Therefore this will double or even treble your signal strength - which makes a world of difference to your browsing speeds. This is a dual band antenna, so will work with older 54 mbps and 150 mbps and the new 5 GHz networks. The new AC networks work at high speed over short distances (30-40 foot), so this antenna ensures that even if you're 2 rooms away, you get the maximum speed from your new routers. If you're over say 50 foot away, then you'll probably find the 2.4 ghz network will be your best option. The benefit of the older 2.4 Ghz networks, is that they travel much longer distances (so that you can sit in your back garden). You'll get 300 mbps easily from your garden with this antenna. Luckily this antenna offers both frequencies, so you're future proof. It also means if you go to Starbucks or your a hotel and they have an old wifi system, you can still connect. The maximum speed of a g network is only 54 mbps, but the N networks are either 150 or 300 mbps. The AC networks offer over 850 mbps. The point here, is that if the router is only transmitting at 54 mbps, then the antenna can only match that speed, it can't improve it if the router itself is on a zimmerframe. I know, life isn't fair! I have 100% link and 100% signal strength on my AC router... which I couldn't get before (as it's through 2 foot walls). It works great on long distance wifi - or in older houses. Plus it lets you work in your garden if you want to. It will bring an older laptop upto date with the latest and highest speeds. Because the antenna works with both 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz networks, this means you're future proof for the new home routers and capable of working in your back garden and over long distances. Review: Nice, works great. - Not bad. I use it with an Alfa USB adapter to track the general location of rogue access points and client devices using Kismet on a custom-made wifi pineapple from a gl.inet router. ## Features - 2.4GHz / 5GHz 8 / 10dBi high gain directional indoor panel antenna with RP-SMA connector - Fits all routers access points VOIP devices and PCI cards with an RP-SMA connector - Replaces Factory Standard Antenna and Boosts the Range of your Router as much as 4x - Up to 145% Performance and 150% Distance increase (depends on specific installation situation) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00R1PA9EO | | Antenna | Alfa Network APA-M25 dual band 2.4GHz/5GHz 8 / 10dBi high gain directional indoor panel antenna with RP-SMA connector Antenna Alfa Network APA-M25 dual band 2.4GHz/5GHz 8 / 10dBi high gain directional indoor panel antenna with RP-SMA connector See more | | AntennaDescription | Alfa Network APA-M25 dual band 2.4GHz/5GHz 8 / 10dBi high gain directional indoor panel antenna with RP-SMA connector | | Best Sellers Rank | 11,892 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 24 in Network Antennas | | Brand | ALFA Network | | Brand Name | ALFA Network | | Colour | Black | | Country of Origin | Taiwan | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 1,174 Reviews | | Impedance | 50 Ohms | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 16.7L x 6.6W x 1.8H centimetres | | Item Weight | 0.07 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | ALFA NETWORK | | Manufacturer Part Number | APA-M25 | | Model Number | APA-M25_SML | | Number of Channels | 2 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of channels | 2 | | Product dimensions | 16.7L x 6.6W x 1.8H centimetres | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ALFA Network - **Colour:** Black - **Impedance:** 50 Ohms - **Manufacturer:** ALFA NETWORK - **Number of Packs:** 1 - **Number of channels:** 2 - **Number of items:** 1 - **Product dimensions:** 16.7L x 6.6W x 1.8H centimetres - **Unit count:** 1.0 count ## Images ![Alfa Network APA-M25 dual band 2.4GHz/5GHz 8 / 10dBi high gain directional indoor panel antenna with RP-SMA connector (compare to Asus WL-ANT-157) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81hSY3xVmHL.jpg) ![Alfa Network APA-M25 dual band 2.4GHz/5GHz 8 / 10dBi high gain directional indoor panel antenna with RP-SMA connector (compare to Asus WL-ANT-157) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41gZ4W2TOvL.jpg) ![Alfa Network APA-M25 dual band 2.4GHz/5GHz 8 / 10dBi high gain directional indoor panel antenna with RP-SMA connector (compare to Asus WL-ANT-157) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31wcovJ4yYL.jpg) ![Alfa Network APA-M25 dual band 2.4GHz/5GHz 8 / 10dBi high gain directional indoor panel antenna with RP-SMA connector (compare to Asus WL-ANT-157) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31cGueE326L.jpg) ![Alfa Network APA-M25 dual band 2.4GHz/5GHz 8 / 10dBi high gain directional indoor panel antenna with RP-SMA connector (compare to Asus WL-ANT-157) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31JHOQfwO3L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I own Alfa AWUS036NHA 2.4Ghz. If I swapped the antenna with this, could I achieve 5Ghz?; & Would it have any impact on packet injection/monitor mode?** A: You should buy RTL8812AU wifi adapter for 5Ghz **Q: Will it work with el capitan os x?** A: Hi Barry, you know this is just an aerial for a wireless modem or router, right?Its designed to enhance the performance of such a device.So if the device currently works with os x el capitan it should continue to do so once this antenna is fitted (assuning in range). **Q: I have a alfa awus036ach with 2 wifi aerial ports would you be able to use 2 of these antennas on it? or are they too heavy? would it be over kill?** A: You are able to use multiple of these antennas on any device which has multiple ports. You just need to be sure to have about 15cm between ports otherwise the antennas may bump into eachother and not fit. These antennas are very light so they shouldn’t be too heavy for anything. I can’t say if it will be overkill or not - that depends on your situation. **Q: Will these work better than the home fi huawei b310 router's standard external antenna?** A: I don't think it's a good replacement. Not sure what's wrong but couldn't start Speedtest.net because of Latency Test Error and then wasn't able to connect to the web at all. Reverted antenna settings to AUTO and restarted my PC few times to get back to normal. Will return this and probably look for B612. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10 out of 10 - amazing antenna *by Y***! on 26 March 2015* The interesting thing to note about wifi is that *each* 3 db is a doubling in signal strength.
