Superb build quality. - Bravo TUPAVCO !! This antenna gives an excellent directional boost to 2.4 and 5GHz WiFi Signals. I have amateur and commercial FCC radio licenses and have purchased and built many antennas over the years. This is a nicely built and performing antenna. At WiFi frequencies exact antenna, connector and cable tolerances must be maintained. I'm using it as part of a 5GHz band WiFi Wireless Bridge from my garage to the house. This antenna is outside on the garage as seen in the photos. My wireless bridge router will also give 2.4GHz WiFi access through the bridge as well as to the ethernet connection ports. The signal increase was as advertised. On the 5GHz band (channel 153) my signal improved from -70dBm to - 50dBm using the Android version of the WiFi Analytics app by Netgear. In other words, the signal went from poor to excellent. As a result of the stronger signal the network speed increased from 100Mbps to 700Mbps . This compares the signal with standard omni-directional antennas vs with the TUPAVCO directional antenna replacing one of the omni antennas at the bridge side of the network. Although I didn't test the actual 2.4 band increase, it gave a significantly stronger signal on my cell phone WiFi through the wireless bridge. I'm very pleased with this considering the 50 foot distance and an outside wall with a glass sliding door between the host and bridge routers. The technical specifications provided in the box are impressive and backed by solid performance. The radome and housing are sturdy and weather-proof. It should last for many years. The hardware appears to be stainless steel with nuts, washers, lock washers, U-clamp, and bracket provided. The N-connector on the back is mounted solidly to the rear plate. The connecting cable is NOT provided - the kit only includes the antenna and mounting hardware , which is very reasonably priced for the excellent build quality and performance. I needed a 10 foot cable which will have some moderate signal loss. At 5GHz the coax cable must be as short as possible - and good quality - or the antenna gain will be lost in the cable. This is a specialized antenna that is highly recommended to those who need a directional gain antenna. Review: Worked Perfectly as Expected - In actual fact, I would give this antenna 4-1/2 stars. Everything about the antenna is perfect and it works great for my purposes- getting a wifi signal into a "faraday cage" metal shop building. I'm withholding 1/2 star because the mounting "muffler clamp" that comes with it is huge- designed for such a large mast that it ran out of threads before adequately tightening around my 1" (mast). The antenna is so light that a heavy mast isn't necessary. Apart from that, it does everything I hoped for, and at 150 ft. or so from the source repeater, it doesn't seem all that directional, so setup was easy. ## Features - [TP542] 13dBi Panel Antenna / High-Gain / Long-Range / Dual-Band / Outdoor / Directional / N-Female connector - [WIRELESS] designed to collects the signal and increase reception from a remote location or bridge WiFi networks between two points or objects that are far apart - [DUAL-BAND 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz] eliminates the need to purchase different antennas for each frequency range and single antenna can be used for both frequencies. - [DIRECTIONAL] focus the signal in one direction to increase reception leading to greater gain figures. - [OUTDOOR] compact, light-weight, rugged weatherproof housing and corrosion-resistant materials for outside pole mount (mounting hardware included; mounting pole not included) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B015QF7EMK | | AntennaDescription | WiFi | | Best Sellers Rank | #208 in Computer Networking Antennas | | Brand | Tupavco | | Built-In Media | Screws (4), U-Bolt (2), Washers (8) | | Color | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (309) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00741360888913 | | Impedance | 50 Ohms | | Item Type Name | Dual-Band WiFi Direcional Panel Antenna | | Item Weight | 0.8 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Tupavco LLC | | Maximum Range | 2 Miles | | Number of Channels | 36 | | UPC | 741360888913 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 30 days warranty against manufacturer defects/1 year parts and labor | ## Product Details - **Antenna:** WiFi - **Brand:** Tupavco - **Color:** White - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00741360888913 - **Impedance:** 50 Ohms - **Manufacturer:** Tupavco LLC - **Maximum Range:** 2 Miles - **Number of Channels:** 36 - **Number of Items:** 1 - **UPC:** 741360888913 ## Images ![Tupavco TP542 Dual-Band (13dBi) Outdoor Directional Panel Antenna (2.4GHz & 5GHz WiFi) Wireless Network Signal (Pole Mast Mount) Weatherproof High-Gain Long-Range (w/N-Female Connector) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51zKTM1Kh6L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: will this work with Mac operating systems or only pc based systems?** A: The antenna is connected to your router so the operating system of the computer is irrelevant **Q: Battery powered?** A: This is the antenna ONLY, it has to be connected to another wifi device (card/access point/repeater). There is no power requirements for this device, what you are asking would be for the device this antenna connects to. **Q: My Asus Router has three removable antennas. Does it matter which one is replaced with this panel antenna?** A: If you router is dual frequency (2.5/5GHz), each antenna is rated for both frequency. I used middle one of the three. You can replace anyone with direct antenna. Very important, point directly toward area you want to target (straight beam like X), it is not Omnidirectional (circular beams). Good Luck. **Q: Will this boost the weak wifi signal from the RV park that we go to that is about 400 ft away from our camper?** A: That is exactly what I use it for, and it works great. I have it connected to my Ubiquiti Bullet M2, so just make sure you have the correct connectors/cables to connect this antenna to the device you want to use the signal with. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent directional dual band WiFi antenna.

Everything about the antenna is perfect and it works great for my purposes- getting a wifi signal into a "faraday cage" metal shop building. I'm withholding 1/2 star because the mounting "muffler clamp" that comes with it is huge- designed for such a large mast that it ran out of threads before adequately tightening around my 1" (mast).

Apart from that, it does everything I hoped for, and at 150 ft. or so from the source repeater, it doesn't seem all that directional, so setup was easy. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Works, but won't see distant signal *by W***S on March 2, 2023* I bought this antenna to use in my RV parked out at a rural lake property I'm building a house on until I can get hard wired broadband. I have two neighbors broadcasting wifi nodes from 350 and 200 ft away. There are only very light trees obstructing line of sight but it won't even detect the access node. I can however "see" these nodes with my phone's wifi, just have to move slightly closer to connect with decent signal strength. If I setup a wifi hotspot with my phone nearby this antenna works very well. I suspect that the coax cable I purchased separately is too small, doesn't have the requisite cross section to support a hi gain antenna without diminishing the standing wave ratio. The solution would be custom to fabricate thicker coax by soldering the correct connectors on. So I will look in to buying those. And next week I will go out and see how far away it will pick up my phone's signal, and edit this review afterwards. There is also the issue of grounding, which it is not at this time. But otherwise, my experience is that the antenna itself is seldom the problem with performance issues. Same with trees, unless they are numerous. I believe I can make this work but for now am only giving it two stars. Edit 20 Mar 2023: the seller has issued me a full refund. Additionally, I moved phone 50ft away and this antenna had a diminished but serviceable signal. But at 100 ft away it dropped to almost nothing. This is unfortunate but I am made whole by the seller. Would buy again it I had some assurance the product performed as claimed. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tupavco TP542 Dual-Band (13dBi) Outdoor Directional Panel Antenna (2.4GHz & 5GHz WiFi) Wireless Network Signal (Pole Mast Mount) Weatherproof High-Gain Long-Range (w/N-Female Connector) - Eightwood N Male to RP-SMA Male Cable KSR240 Low Loss Extension Cable 10ft for Outdoor Yagi WiFi Antenna WiFi Router Helium Hotspot Miner LoraWan Antenna - WiTi Universal Vertical Pole Mount for Security Camera, Solid Metal Bracket with Loops, Suitable for CCTV Cameras(Small Size) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/29191119-tupavco-tp542-dual-band-13dbi-outdoor-directional-panel-antenna-2](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/29191119-tupavco-tp542-dual-band-13dbi-outdoor-directional-panel-antenna-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
