Tymac94 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I am currently thinking about getting an Alfa AWUS036H 500 mW, and I came across this. Has anyone ever used this, it says it is plug and play in Backtrack 3. Is it the same range as the Alfa. I want to get one before I go on Vacation. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miT Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I am currently thinking about getting an Alfa AWUS036H 500 mW, and I came across this.

Thanks I was thinking about buying a Alfa 500mW as well, i've been hearing good things about them but when i saw darren rocking one I finally sat down and did some research about it. That Rok500 looks nice, but is a bit on the cheap side. You know what they say, you get what you paid for. At the moment I'm thinking about getting a Ubiquiti BULLET2 with a nice beefy omni antenna for my outdoor wireless setup. http://www.wlanparts.com/product/BULLET2-O...from_Comet.html I really don't like the guys @ wlanparts. They're located a mere mile away from my office and wont let me pay online + pick up to save on shipping DESPITE their website stating that they accept pickups with payments on the website...

digininja Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Go for the Alfa, they are good solid bits of kit and if you can afford it definitely worth having. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonlit Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 This Alfa is better than the old b/g one. Costs a little more, but has a/n capability too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
