This magnetic mount antenna base manufactured by Alfa Network Inc. has an
RP-SMA port and a three-foot antenna extension cable built into the
base (1m). This is model ARS-AS01. This is a great way to get more
signal on your Alfa Network wireless receiver, such as Alfa models
AWUS036H or AWUS036NH. Simply connect this magnetic base to your Alfa
adapter's RP-SMA port with the built-in cable and then connect the Alfa
antenna you already own to the top of the magnetic mount base. Now you
can place your antenna up to three feet away from the adapter for
improved reception.
Put the antenna on a window sill near your desk, or place it
on the top of your car for increased Wi-Fi reception when traveling
(never use Wi-Fi and drive at the same time of course!). This base will
work with any WiFi device that has an RP-SMA port, it does not have to
be Alfa brand only. The diameter of the base is 2.5 inches.
In
light city driving we found this base to stay attached to the outside
of the car without an antenna attached. We reached speeds of 40-50 mph.
We did not test with an antenna attached, and recommend you always
detach your antenna from the base when your vehicle is mobile as
something such as a tree limb could knock it off and make it a
potential road hazard. We do not recommend leaving the docking base
attached at speeds above 40 mph though we have not done any further
speed testing. Our company makes no claims about travel speeds and we
would suggest the magnetic base only be used when the vehicle is
stationary just to be on the safe side.
*In
one of the photos above you will see this base used with an Alfa brand
7 dBi directional panel antenna (model APA-M04). This antenna is not
included in this sale and is shown just for demonstration purposes.
