AWUS036ACM

Simply perfect.

I have moved to fibre-to-the-house internet, with a design speed of 150 Mbps (million bits per second). With the old compact USB dongle, I was getting around 30 Mbps. With the new dongle I am getting 140 Mbps, so close to the speed that I am paying for. The product consists of a central dongle, two antennae that screw on, and a USB cable. The device sits on top of the computer tower, and connects to the computer USB port using the cable. The computer's operating system is Arch Linux (Endeavour OS). The dongle was automatically detected by the operating system. I recommend this USB adaptor.

AWUS036ACM Long-Range Wide-Coverage Dual-Band AC1200 USB Wireless Wi-Fi Adapter Sold by: Amazon EU I should have bought one of these a long time ago. Much better if you use Linux distros but also good for Windows. I only found one distro that didn't work out of loads of different linux isos i have on my usb stick. That was because the kernel was old and didn't have this AWUS036ACM included. All the problems i was having i thought was down to recent linux updates but it was mostly related to using wifi dongles with realtek chips inside. Realtek does not really write good drivers ,just the bare necessities. Even though some good guys post drivers for realtek on github ,none of them are 100% perfect and i was always running into problems. This AWUS036ACM wifi adapter is included in the recent linux kernels so should work like plug and play. Same as win10. Very good.

Generally speaking adapter is very good, signal strength is good and with Windows 10/11 works out of the box - no drivers needed. But if you planning to use it with the newest Kali linux it won’t work, it says that it is working with Kali 2020 but definitely not with 2024 still did not managed to install it.

After doing some research for compatibility, the AWUS036ACM worked straight out of the box on my old laptop recently 'upgraded' from Win10 to Linux Mint - driver for the MediaTek chipset was built-in to linux.

Works perfectly with w11, raspi os and kali. Also works great with kismet. Comes with 2 antennas and 1 extension cable USB A female to male.

Supports packet injection and monitoring for penetration testing and cyber security applications. Shippings can be slow.

Used with Linux, Kali, Ubuntu and OpenWRT. Little tricky but not impossible. Signal is crazy good, worked well with kismet. Worth buying if you know what it is and how to use it :)

Bought for dual boot (win11, Linux) PC. Worked plug & play in both OSes, speed now is as good as the speed of the ethernet connected directly on the router (98Mbps) as I am in a rural area of an island and the maximum theoretical speed is 100Mbps

Good enough for normal pentest work. Buy the more expensive variant if your budget allows.

Una de las mejores antenas que existen en el carro. Viene con un extra que a continuación le mostraré una fotografía.

Había leído bunas cosas sobre este adaptador wifi, no se equivocaban, es muy bueno en ganancia de señal y por consiguiente en velocidad en la prueba con speedtest. 100% aconsejable. Las antenas miden menos de un palmo de altura, pero el lapiz usb es algo grandote, supongo que esto es para bien y ayuda con que no se sobrecaliente.
