The media could not be loaded. I purchased this wifi adapter as part of my security training. I was impressed with the range of the adapter, which was able to pick up even the weakest signals from down the road.Initially, I was worried that the adapter would not be plug-and-play or that the drivers would not be available for Kali Linux and my daily driver Linux system. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the adapter was easy to use and installed quickly.The adapter is sleek and doesn't stand out, even the LED only blinks when it's being used. The clip-on feature is also a nice bonus.One of the best features of this adapter is that it is able to enter monitor mode. This was perfect for what I needed it for, as I was able to use the adapter to scan for nearby networks and collect data.Overall, I am very happy with this wifi adaptor. It is easy to use, has a long range, and is able to enter monitor mode. I would definitely recommend this adaptor to anyone looking for a high-quality wifi adaptor.

It works BUT for Linux users it’s not quite plug and play, I’m using Linux mint as the daily driver and Kali Linux on a vm, I had to do a bit of work, but hey the adapter now works like a dream. If you get stuck chatgpt will walk you through

Works with out of box with kismet VM to analyse wifi traffic.One star off as couldn't see all packets between known nodes in network.This could be because it's listening in, so doesn't ask for re-transmits, or share perf info. When placed close to transmitter/receiver of traffic was much better.For sniffing wifi traffic, there may be better adapters out there, but this is still a reasonable product.

Monitor mode only seems to work on Linux.I have not been able to get it to work on a windows 11 pro pc in monitor mode

Perfect for packet injection with Kali

I bought this for the packet injection mode (Linux, Kali) and to make sure that I don't suffer any WiFi dead spots.Not only can I sit at the end of my garden happily smurfing the interwebs while everyone else can't even get a sniff of a WiFi signal, I can see pretty much every other WiFi within 1km of where I'm sitting.If you need constant and healthy WiFi, this is exactly what you need.If you want to connect to WiFi that is well beyond the reach of any other device and require packet injection and monitor mode then you are very naughty and should also get this.

This device is commonly recommended on the best review sites. Best here meaning none sponsored and devices properly tested.It was easy to install and the construction is good.As is common the disc comes with very old drivers and the manufacturers website has broken links for updsates. Hopefully the latter will be repaired.Another upside is that this works on Linux.Overall I am pleased with its connectivity and operation which are very good indeed. Mine has to get through a brick wall and doge the plumbing and wiring and I am still getting very near a 100mb connection which is my max. It has a signal amplifier built in.

Be aware, this isn't a plug and play for kali, you will need to either know how to install via python code, or get on github for the instructions.
