AES WIFIA-10-KIT, 2.4Ghz Wifi Antenna with 10m Lead includes Mounting Bracket
The AES WIFIA-10-KIT is a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi antenna kit with a 10 meter lead and mounting bracket. It is intended for compatible AES Opyn, Video Opyn, and supported AES IP access systems where the installation requires improved antenna placement for a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection.
This antenna kit gives the installer more flexibility than the shorter 2 meter version. The 10 meter lead can help move the antenna away from a poor mounting location, shielded enclosure, masonry wall, gate column, or other obstruction that may be affecting wireless signal quality. It is a Wi-Fi antenna accessory only. It does not replace the intercom, router, PoE injector, SIM card, cellular modem, Ethernet connection, or network service.
What This Wi-Fi Antenna Kit Does
The WIFIA-10-KIT provides an external 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi antenna connection for compatible AES systems. The 10 meter lead allows the antenna to be positioned in a better signal location, while the included mounting bracket helps secure the antenna during installation.

Technician Note
This antenna can help when the AES device supports Wi-Fi and the problem is poor antenna placement. It will not fix a bad router, weak internet service, wrong Wi-Fi password, blocked firewall, incorrect network setup, unsupported Wi-Fi settings, poor router location, or no usable Wi-Fi signal at the gate.
The 10 meter lead gives more placement flexibility than the 2 meter kit, but longer antenna cable runs can also introduce signal loss if the site is not planned correctly. Mount the antenna where the signal is actually better, not just farther away. For some access control installations, a wired Ethernet connection or properly configured 4G connection may still be more reliable than Wi-Fi.

Installation and Service Notes
- Follow the current AES instructions for antenna connection, mounting, and cable routing.
- Mount the antenna where it has the clearest practical path toward the Wi-Fi source.
- Avoid mounting the antenna behind heavy metal, dense masonry, gate posts, shielded enclosures, or other signal-blocking materials where possible.
- Do not sharply kink, crush, staple, pinch, or tightly coil the antenna cable.
- Keep the antenna connection protected from water entry and corrosion.
- Use a proper drip loop and protected cable path where the antenna is routed outdoors or near moisture.
- Confirm the system is connecting to the correct 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
- After installation, test Wi-Fi signal, app/cloud connection, live video/audio where applicable, and relay release function.
- If the connection remains unstable, check router location, signal strength, network settings, password, firewall, DHCP, internet service, and AES device configuration before replacing more parts.
Professional Advisory
Wi-Fi antenna placement, network setup, low-voltage access control wiring, and AES IP intercom service should be handled by a qualified gate access or low-voltage technician when the system controls an automated gate or managed entry point. Do not use antenna, network, or accessory wiring to bypass required gate safety devices, emergency access equipment, fire access equipment, monitored photo eyes, safety edges, or operator safety circuits.
