woffin Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Can anybody recommend an 'off the shelf' USB WiFi adaptor that is 802.11n compatible and suitable for BT5 monitor mode type fun? Quote
Mr-Protocol Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Linksys WUSB600n supports injection and monitor. I have 2 of them. Quote
Infiltrator Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Linksys WUSB600n supports injection and monitor. I have 2 of them. Does it work straight out of the box, or do you still have to install the drivers? Quote
Mr-Protocol Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Plug it in, it works. View here for more info on other chips http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=compatibility_drivers Quote
Infiltrator Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 I was going to buy one of the new Alfa's USB wireless adapter, but monitor mode doesn't seem to work with Backtrack. Now I know which one to buy. Quote
woffin Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 Thanks for reply Mr-Protocol and link to aircrack drivers. Think the WUSB600n uses RT2870 chipset. So if there is an adaptor that uses same chipset and has external antenna, this should also work, rite?? Quote
Mr-Protocol Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 It's all about chipset, should work if it's on that list and says compatible. Quote
abs0lut3z33r0 Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 The above mentioned model has two versions http://www.wikidevi.com/wiki/Linksys_WUSB600N_v1 you can find adapters by chipset and brands on wikidevi Quote
woffin Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 Could Mr-Protocol please post which version of the WUSB600n he has that works 'out of the box'. v1 chipset Ralink RT2870, v1 chipset Ralink RT2850 or v2 chipset Ralink RT3572. Just want to make sure I buy a compatible version. Quote
telot Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Could Mr-Protocol please post which version of the WUSB600n he has that works 'out of the box'. v1 chipset Ralink RT2870, v1 chipset Ralink RT2850 or v2 chipset Ralink RT3572. Just want to make sure I buy a compatible version. Comeon Mr. Protocol! We're waiting over here with our cursors over the "Buy Now" button! Haha, you mind letting us know what version you have? I'd love to get my n on telot Quote
Mr-Protocol Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Ah sorry. I have V1 and V2. Someone sent me a PM about it. If I'm not mistaken it uses Draft N though. Might be better off getting a newer USB adapter. I got those 2 a lil while ago and free :P. Quote
