## Description

Incredible Performance from 2 Dual-Band Antennas Alfa's AWUS036AC is designed for those with a serious need for wireless Internet speed. Its 2x dual-band antenna (2.4GHz / 5GHz) setup lets you connect to AC networks at a tire-burning 867Mbps and to N networks up to a whopping 300Mbps. As the new wireless draft 802.11ac technology was developed to optimize the handling of heavy data transfer demands like video streaming and large files syncing, the AWUS036AC is the ultimate tool for taking advantage of the next wave in wireless connectivity. Yet, despite all its power and speed, this little Alfa comes in a really small form factor akin to a USB thumb drive. Removable Rubber Duck Antennas for Powerful Flexibility The AWUS036AC ships with 2 detachable 5dBi dual-band dipole antennas. While these are powerful in their own right, the RP-SMA female antenna port can accept antenna upgrades to boost your wireless range and signal even more. Once your antenna of choice is connected, this turns into a standalone Wi-Fi receiver that puts the connected world at your fingertips. Alfa is also seriously invested in your privacy, it includes support for enterprise class wireless security WEP 64-Bit, WEP 128-Bit, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. No Introductions Are Needed Whether you're using a desktop, laptop or a netbook, the Alfa AWUS036AC requires no more than a USB port. Slide it in, install the Utility, and Connect to your network. The USB 3.0 interface keeps the connection to your computer strong and snappy at super transfer speeds of 5Gbps. Best of all, the Alfa measures just 85mm x 26mm x 12mm and weighs in at a super-light 25 grams so that it goes anywhere you do and brings wireless wonder along. It also by far outperforms the wireless cards that are built into newer laptops, and enhances both the range and signal quality at longer distances.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this card be good for professional/study pentest use? Good range, packet injection, Linux support out of the box on Kali/BT/Backbox?**
A: I had no issues getting it to run with Ubuntu (14 and 16 XFCE). No driver install needed. Range is fantastic, but I haven't done any custom drivers for packet sniffing/injection. My guess is it'd be just as good as any other adapter.

**Q: Does it support windows 10?**
A: I have updated windows 8.1 to windows 10 and yes it does support windows 10!

**Q: Will this item strengthen my wireless connection-- as my computer is very long distance from landlord's router? It's clear across the 1/4 acre land.**
A: Yes it will, I use it all the time around my land 1/4 acre land=105ft. If you are not at the same level of your neighbor it can affect the signal as well as the wall of both house and also the type of accessories use in both house like microwave oven other type of phone etc. If you are sharing internet ask you neighbor to place the router beside a window in line with yours. I also did a test with one bigger antenna that I had on my router and place it on this antenna and it was even better but I have only one so I had to tape the base.

**Q: Is there a driver available for Mac OS 10.10? or will there be one available? As I will keep upgrading my mac, I need to be sure this will still work!**
A: Email support requesting the drivers. They probably have them, but are too lazy to publish them publicly. I emailed Alfa Network and they gave me a SourceForge page they maintain for all their latest drivers and software.  If you request it they will put it on SourceForge or alfa.com.twBe an empowered consumer please. I emailed them already, you NEED to do the same.USE LINK >>> http://www.alfa.com.tw/contact.phpChoose >>> support@afla.com.twChoose >>> Indoor WirelessRequest >>> Mac OSX 10.10 Yosemite driversFor All Other Drivers for Alfa Network products or other OS's:http://sourceforge.net/projects/alfanetwork/files/Driver
