Review: Important for windows 10 and linux users! - This alfa antenna has worked well for Linux use as well as for regular surfing and work on windows 10. However, this network adapter will work with Linux but as a windows 10 host machine I was required to setup my linux virtual box as a NAT network setting instead of bridged network setting. Upon then I set USB to 3.0. I also set a usb filter.I clicked add new and chose the default one that came up for my adapter. I started up linux. After I proceeded to start up linux, I plugged in my adapter and everything is auto configured to work. Everything from forums to help websites could not solve this problem for me and I almost gave up. After messing around for 3 days I got the adapter to work with both machines but not simultaneously. The network card will work for whichever machine you have started up when you plug it in. I.E. if you start up your computer then plug it in you will be working with it on windows 10 and not linux. If you go in and start up linux before you plug it in it will configure to work with Linux automatically. Other than this problem listed above the card has given me a great network connection while also supporting monitor mode with packet injection with both machines.
Review: Atheros greatness - I find signal level to be a bit spotty with any omnidirectional antenna. However, when I attach a 10dbi directional antenna, it's consistent and strong. My AWUS036NH buries the needle with omnidirectional though. This baby gets 5 stars because it's very fairly priced and has the coveted Atheros chipset. I've been a Linux enthusiast for 5 years. I recommend this with the AWUS036NH. 🔥 for long range evil twin tests. Note: this is one of very few adapters that is capable of master mode.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This actually does work well on a Pi
*by J***K on February 3, 2020*

I'm using these things to extend the wifi range from a base station to drones. I use a battery-powered router as the base station and connect a GCS (Solex, Tower, QGC, etc) to the drone over UDP. The vehicles have Raspberry Pis running SolexCC on them, which (among other things) performs a mapping between Mavlink messages and UDP. Using the Pi's stock Wifi, the range is unsurprisingly not very good. With these, I can maintain a connection to a ground vehicle even after it drives around to the other side of a small hill and the other side of my house. The only downside I've discovered is that it's hard to fit this device under the canopy of my copter, but that's more an issue of the copter being narrow and already packed full of stuff under there. To make this work with the Pi, all you need to do is blacklist the internal wifi driver and plug this into one of the USB ports. It then becomes wlan0. You'll be able to tell it's working when the blue light on it blinks rapidly after you boot the Pi.
