I've pulled apart a wifi access point to better understand it and found a number of internal antennas.
It has about 8 that all look like the attached photo, only some are different angles from others.

It's a cheap antenna. One they can punch out in massive quantities
Probably has a name but it looks more or less like a dipole that has been folded over
