InLine WIFI Rubber Antenna for AP and Router R-SMA 5dBi

The InLine WIFI Rubber Antenna for AP and Router R-SMA 5dBi is a compact external WLAN antenna designed to improve reception for access points, routers and WLAN cards that use an R-SMA (RP-SMA) connector. It operates in the 2.4–2.5 GHz band with a nominal gain of 5 dBi and 50 Ω impedance, offering a simple way to enhance wireless signal performance while maintaining a discreet black appearance.

Advantages

This rubber antenna provides a stable 5 dBi gain in the 2.4–2.5 GHz frequency range and uses an RP‑SMA (reverse SMA) connector for compatibility with many routers, access points and WLAN adapters. Its flexible rubber construction resists minor impacts and allows easy adjustment of the antenna angle. The compact black design is unobtrusive and simple to mount or replace.

Suitable for

• Improving reception for home or small office routers and access points
• Upgrading detachable antennas on WLAN cards with RP‑SMA sockets
• Extending range for 2.4 GHz wireless networks

Key specifications

• Antenna gain level (max): 5 dBi
• Frequency band: 2.4 - 2.5 GHz
• Impedance: 50 Ω
• Connector type: RP‑SMA (reverse SMA)
• Colour: Black

How to use

Turn off the device (router, access point or WLAN card) if recommended by the manufacturer. Unscrew the existing antenna from the RP‑SMA connector and screw in the InLine rubber antenna until it is gently hand‑tight. Adjust the antenna angle for best signal reception and power on the device. Verify connection quality and reposition the antenna if necessary to achieve optimal coverage.

Recommendations

Use this antenna on devices with a compatible RP‑SMA connector only; do not force connections on incompatible sockets. For best results place the device in a central, elevated location and avoid large metal obstacles. Replace the antenna with a factory‑approved unit if you notice physical damage or degraded performance.
