Product Overview
#The APA-M25 is a dual-band high-gain indoor panel antenna from ALFA Network, supporting both 2.4 GHz (8 dBi) and 5 GHz (10 dBi) simultaneously. Its directional panel design (66° horizontal beamwidth, 16° vertical beamwidth) concentrates energy horizontally, making it especially suitable for extending range across the same floor. The ultra-slim 18 mm body weighs only 72 g, and the RP-SMA Plug connector directly replaces the factory antennas on all ALFA dual-band adapters.
Key Features
#- Simultaneous Dual-Band Support: Single antenna covers both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, replacing a two-antenna setup
- 5 GHz 10 dBi High Gain: Effectively compensates for 5 GHz’s shorter wavelength and higher wall-penetration loss
- Directional Panel Design: 66° horizontal beamwidth, 16° vertical beamwidth, ideal for horizontal range extension
- Ultra-Slim Lightweight: Only 18 mm thick, 72 g — hugs the wall without taking up space
- Plug-and-Play: RP-SMA Plug (Male) standard connector, compatible with all ALFA wireless adapters
- Use Cases: Office desk, home office — enhance 5 GHz connectivity for gaming or 4K streaming
