I just used ChatGPT to tell me which ones to pull and after installation of those on my Pi 5 it was working perfectly. The high gain antennas will enable you to see and connected to more wifi networks than most standard wifi aerials in normal laptops, Raspberry PIs, etc. There are no known drivers for MacOS after 10.15 so beware of that. Also, I couldn't get it working on a Docker instance of Kali, so ended up with a bare metal install which worked just fine. In summary, great bit of kit that does what it says on the box. Just be aware of the compatibility issues with some operating systems (e.g. Docker, MacOS < 10.15) and be prepared for a bit of tinkering to get it up and running. Review: Good range but low quality firmware - I've bought this a while ago for testing Wi-Fi. It has good gain so you pick up signal from a long range, however the firmware is pretty bad - it frequently crashes and needs to be reset manually by replugging the USB. On the other hand this antenna has good support from the community so it compensates somewhat ## Features - Wireless Standards IEEE 802.11ac/a/b/g/n - Wireless Frequency: 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz; Wireless Data Rate: 2.4 GHz-up to 300 Mbps, 5 GHz-up to 867 Mbps. - Interface: USB-C (includes cable); Antenna Type: 2 x Dual-Band High-gain detachable antenna. - Wireless Security: WEP, WPA, WPA2, WPA3 WPA/PSK, WPA2-PSK - Operating System: Windows Vista 32/64bit; Windows 7 32/64bit; Windows 8/8.1 32/64bit; Windows10 32/64bit; Linux kernel 4.19 or later. - Note: No driver to support Mac OS version beyond 10.15, nor support M1/M2 chipset. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08SJC78FH | | Best Sellers Rank | 77,005 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 644 in USB Computer Network Adapters | | Brand Name | ALFA Network | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, tablet, smartphone | | Compatible Operating System Family | Linux, MacOS, Windows | | Country of Origin | Taiwan | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (810) | | Data Link Protocol | IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac | | Data Transfer Rate | 867 Megabits Per Second | | Hardware Interface | USB 3.0 Type C | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 14L x 14W x 6H centimetres | | Item Weight | 0.25 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | ALFA Network | | Manufacturer Part Number | AWUS036ACH-Parent | | Minimum Required Operating System Version | Windows 10 | | Model Number | AWUS036ACH-C | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ALFA Network - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible Operating System Family:** Linux, MacOS, Windows - **Compatible devices:** Laptop, tablet, smartphone - **Data link protocol:** IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac - **Data transfer rate:** 867 Megabits Per Second - **Hardware interface:** USB 3.0 Type C - **Item weight:** 0.25 Kilograms - **Minimum Required Operating System Version:** Windows 10 - **Product dimensions:** 14L x 14W x 6H centimetres ## Images ![Alfa USB Adapter AWUS036ACH v.2 AWUS036ACH-C - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61I-PMtgqUL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Power up? i’ve connected it to my laptop but honestly the led doesn’t turn on… anybody? neither the pc doesn’t beep like a new usb was inserted….** A: Hello , assuming your OS is supported please try installing the driver software first , if that does not work , use Amazon returns procedure to request a return and refund. **Q: The description states type-c.
