Dave-ee Jones Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 This + this = ridiculously overpowered-super-long-range WiFi adapter? I think it would make a good addition to my Bag of Things.. Quote
The Power Company Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Compensating much? I have that interface and I don't see any reason why that wouldn't work, if you don't mind playing around with drivers. Quote
Rainman_34 Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 The AC drivers dont work properly in Linux. Kali goves instructions for getting it to work but it is highly unstable and almost always makes your kali crash. Quote

Ah well, Windows it is then :( You know, they said they had that issue when this thing came out - it seems silly that they haven't fixed it yet. Quote

The reason it isnt fixed yet is broadcom is the chip in it and they dont release their firmware. Quote

It has a few other connection issues here and there, so even if I can't use this adapter for pentesting purposes I can still (hopefully) use it with Windows for general use. Quote

True but the support for the AC is sketchy. The one I posted is listed as tried and true. Liked it so much I decided to get one to use on the pi 3 as a second antennae. Should be here next week hehe. I already have a 2.4GHz Alpha that works great for 2.4GHz stuff. Quote

Yeah, yours does look like it has better driver support for more OS'. Quote
