AR9271 802.11n 150Mbps Wireless USB WiFi Adapter WLAN Network Card for Kali Linux/Linux/Ubuntu/CD Linux/Windows 7/8/10/Centos

Works perfectly and as advertised. If you intend to use it in Windows 10/11, install it then go to Windows Update | Additional Drivers to install the required Windows driver. There is NO need to search for the manufacturer's website and download from there. Windows will install the proper driver under Windows Update. The 1-star reviews about no driver are simply wrong. My GNU/Linux Parrot OS Security Edition distro running under VMWare recognized it immediately and connected...no external driver had to be installed. Under Parrot, I commanded Monitor mode in Airgeddon and proceeded to test against my wireless router. Worked perfectly. Promptly received a handshake using attack vector #2. Inexpensive. Works as designed. Great value.

The Atheros 9271 has been known for about 10 years as the best hacker friendly USB wifi chipset. Then they disappeared, they designed a disappointing hacker unfriendly v.2...this is the first brand new batch I've seen in at least 7-8 years. 12$ and they still out-perform a few of my Alfa's (cost about 5-6X the $). This isn't the best housing, it seems cheap plastic but it came with plastic film still on it, LEDs work, and the chipset...on 2.4ghz (and only 2.4ghz) I still don't think there's a better toolbag USB wifi to have around for "auditing" pulls handshakes extremely quick, injection is still probably more reliable than modern expensive cards...I was amazed at the range of "auditing" it is still amazing at. For a daily driver, for anything, or for nothing...for 12$ you could buy these and stash them away till this new batch disappears and sell them for 50$ a pop to people in cyber sec communities.

The page of the dirver does not work, con you pass me the correct driver to cinfigure it

Excelente

Connected to a hotspot, ran iwconfig and I got this output. wlp0s20f3 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"XXXXX" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.442 GHz Access Point: REDACTED Bit Rate=57.8 Mb/s Tx-Power=22 dBm Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:on Link Quality=33/70 Signal level=-77 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:35 Missed beacon:0 wlxc01c30113bf5 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"REDACTED" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.442 GHz Access Point: REDACTED Bit Rate=19.5 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality=27/70 Signal level=-83 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:1 Invalid misc:104 Missed beacon:0 The best it can do is enter monitor mode.

While plug and play dongles are common for Windows, those of us who prefer Linux have to deal with the many dongles that require VERY complicated and/or unreliable installation. This device is economical, well-made, and is truly plug and play. What a relief! To be fair this unit is made to the 802.11n standard (150 mb/s, 2.4Ghz), but that is quite enough, not to mention - again - plug n play, and inexpensive. I spent hours trying to find a faster PnP unit, but there isn't one. It speed tests fine, good numbers, solid and reliable. Add to this it's antenna, easy disassembly, this is a unit you can carry with you and use to replace a failing WIFI adaptor, or to amplify signal in sketchy locations.

As advertised, this does work with Ubuntu, but I noticed non-stop drive activity slowing things down and driving up temps. Found it was causing endless journal log error messages. Soon as I disabled wireless networking it stopped. Also caused boot problems. System would hang in BIOS during boot, had to be removed to boot correctly. My BIOS is set to defaults, safest possible settings. This is an old system running the 32 bit version of Linux. This product is perfectly usable for short periods, and I go delete all the Journal entries afterward. I liked the removable antenna, that lets me use a better one. It's probably perfect on newer systems, I'm not using it now.

This little thing was great! It’s cheap and arrived quickly before my road trip. I could not find my “expensive” USB WiFi dongle and antenna. This saved the day for me when I was up against the clock.
