## Description

Buy

Review: Works as promised - Was looking for a USB network adapter not Made in China and after some web research decided to give ALFA a go and while it doesn't specifically say Made in Taiwan on the box (see image), I doubt you'd get anything from Mainland China that says Taiwan on it and the website promises Made in Taiwan, so I'm good with that. Works fine, installation from CD is a tad clunky - fortunately we still have CD-ROM drives on our desktops but going forward, ALFA should make the download driver files a bit easier to find on their website (they're there, under Support > Downloads > WiFi USB adapter > [select model], but not linked from the product description). Still, all in all, very happy. Addendum: So we bought a second one for the office because for some reason the inbuilt Intel wireless struggled to maintain a stable link to the new fibre internet). The second dongle was a bit more of a faff, a) the CD-based installation failed to install the Realtek utility and I had to use the online driver and b) for some reason it wasn't showing all networks even though the PC right next to it was. On the bright side, tech support was very responsive and the problem went away by itself. But in the process I did find out that their recommendation is to have 3-5m distance between dongles. So if you're having issues and have more than one in close proximity, that may be an issue.
Review: Highly recommend - After setting up on parrot os it works as described the size is compact makes it easy to carry its plug and play works straight out the box and the range is incredible and picks up every network around my area even networks phones can’t pick up so in all fairness value for money and easy to install defo recommend

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this support only station mode only rather than ap mode + station mode?**
A: Monitor and station modes are definitely supported. The unit is among those that were recommended in Linux Kali pentesting lists, so mon is essential. Check pentesting mentions for more.

**Q: Dose it work with MacOS 10.14 ?**
A: I can only observe that it works automatically with Windows 10, and needs packages for Debian based Linux distros.

Good product, this brand is a guaranty. It doesn't work out-of-the-box with all OS, specially for Linux OS distributions. But the drivers installation is pretty easy. Definitely value for money.
