This WiFi Kit is the top tier of long range capabilties before getting into high tech sophisticated systems which cost thousands of dollars. The Kit includes a very directional parabolic grid antenna, a genuine Alfa 1000mW USB network adapter and you choose the extension cable needed to link the antenna to the adapter.
This kind of setup is meant to be mounted outdoors and used with only ONE computer at a time. It will receive signals in the direction you point the antenna only. Its 7 degree wide signal cone will cover a distance of up 8 miles given the ideal circumstances. Which include a clear line of sight between the antenna and the signal transmitor, a strong transmitor, a high vantage point to avoid obstructions and a low signal loss cable like the ones we suggest you pair. Under normal scenarios 2-5 miles is typical. The kit is compatible with all Windows and Mac operating systems as well as plug and play with Linux.
The Famous Alfa 1000mW based on the RealTek 8187 Chipset. When searching for a good foundation to build your long range WiFi kit 1 Watt of power is not a bad idea, especially when commercially sold adapters are only doing about 50mW. The Adapter is supported by All Windows and Mac operating systems. As well as plug and play with Linux. For all you “internet security specialist” this card is fully supported by Back Track and also doing Packet injections. From Alfa you get 5 ft of USB cable and a 5dBi antenna with anti-counterfeit sticker and hologram. We Guarantee Authenticity.
AWUS036H does not support Mac OS 10.6.7 and later versions.
