MikroTik TOF-2400-8V-4 8 dBi 2.4 GHz Omni Antenna wAP LR2

The MikroTik TOF-2400-8V-4 is the external antenna upgrade for the MikroTik wAP LR2 kit — the 2.4 GHz LoRa® gateway platform designed for wide-area IoT sensor networks, environmental monitoring, asset tracking, and long-range wireless sensor deployments. The wAP LR2's internal antenna covers typical close-range and indoor scenarios, but when the deployment requires extended outdoor coverage — farms, industrial sites, campuses, remote infrastructure, or rural IoT networks — the TOF-2400-8V-4 is the correct upgrade.

The 8 dBi omni gain is the headline specification. Standard 2.4 GHz omni dipole antennas produce 2–3 dBi of gain. The TOF-2400-8V-4 delivers 8 dBi — a substantial increase in effective radiated power concentrated into a flatter, wider horizontal beam pattern. For a LoRa® gateway covering ground-level IoT sensors across flat terrain, this is exactly the radiation pattern needed: maximum horizontal range, minimal wasted signal radiating into the sky. MikroTik's confirmed range figure: up to 3–4 km line of sight for LoRa® connectivity. For 2.4 GHz WLAN use, range will vary with environment and client capabilities — the 3–4 km figure applies to LoRa® only.

The dual-protocol capability is a genuine differentiator. The TOF-2400-8V-4 supports both 2.4 GHz LoRa® connectivity and standard 2.4 GHz WLAN. For wAP LR2 deployments that use both the LoRa® radio and the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi radio — a common configuration for sites that need both long-range sensor connectivity and local Wi-Fi access — a single TOF-2400-8V-4 antenna serves both radios. This is not a single-protocol antenna that requires a separate Wi-Fi antenna alongside it. One antenna, both protocols.

The included 1-metre SMA cable is a critical practical detail. The TOF-2400-8V-4 does not mount directly to the device body — the cable allows the antenna to be positioned away from the wAP LR2, through a wall, out of an enclosure, or up a short mast section, while the device body stays in a sheltered or powered location. Combined with the included mechanical mast holder, the TOF-2400-8V-4 can be deployed on any standard outdoor mast or pole at the optimum height for the coverage area — without requiring any additional mounting hardware purchase.

For Canadian deployments — WISPs building LoRa® IoT networks, agriculture technology operators, smart city infrastructure, industrial IoT, and remote site monitoring — the TOF-2400-8V-4 is the external antenna that makes the wAP LR2 kit a serious outdoor LoRa® gateway rather than a short-range indoor device.

Note: This is a passive antenna accessory. It is not a standalone wireless device. The 3–4 km range figure applies to LoRa® line-of-sight use only — 2.4 GHz WLAN range will differ. Confirm SMA connector gender compatibility with your specific device before purchase. LoRa® is a registered trademark.
