Alfa AWUS036ACHM 802.11ac WiFi Range Boost USB Adapter

March 2025 product worked. I was able to plug it in directly into a windows machine running virtual box. It connected to a kali VM. No drivers or anything else to install.

This adapter works straight out of the box on Kali Linux 2024.4. Monitor mode works great and very good range, I was testing BSSID's around 80m away.

Moving into a trailer, this wireless adapter easily pulls Wi-Fi from the house. A hotspot network is then created for my 3d printer. It also picks-up all the neighbor's Wi-Fi for several blocks. Pretty amazing low-cost gadget. Forget an Internet Extender, just plug-in one of these. Highly Recommend.

Works out of box and is great from pentesting wifi 2 or 5ghzWay better range then my integrated nic

Good for wifi pentest

Great product love it use it every day would buy again

Ordered This adapter as a replacement for my awu036nh because it was supposed to be long range. It's not, it has about 1/2 the signal strength.The I have is a replacement for one that was defective. It has the very same issues. LED doesn't work, no driver disk and no power, WiFi signal just sucks. I'm not going to send this one back, it's too much work. I'll just toss it in the pile of scrap electronics I have

Works great in various operating systems. I have used them Raspberry Pi 4's (Bullseye and Bookworm), Ubuntu 24.04 and OpenWRT (23.05.5 and 24.10.0).
