Cablecc USB 3. Note: Some adapters won't work with some extention cables and cradles. It is best to buy from retailers that will let you return their products as it seems the only way to know is trial and error.
Important: Price and availability of listed adapters is subject to change. Updating the list of adapters does take a considerable amount of time. I try to complete a review of the links at least once per month. This site has increased in popularity to the point that readers of this site may cause inventory problems for some sellers at times so you may need to wait for inventory to be refreshed.
To help with this problem, I have listed multiple links from multiple sellers for some products. If you see any problems, please post in Issues. Market Conditions: - I have been seeing product shortages and a lot of increases in pricing. The global shortage of chips caused by fab plants being shut down for periods during and the inadequate investment in new fab plants for many years has led to tight markets that have caused high and rising prices for some products and shortages of some products.
This problem has recently been compounded by international shipping problems. This may continue for some time If you are on a budget, you might want to consider "used" adapters as they are available. Note: The link immediately following this line is a short quick reference list that does not include online links to the products, reviews nor does it show all of the available adapters so it is recommended that you read the entire document that continues after The Short List:.
Note: - Rokland is now shipping orders but there is a message about a heavy backlog that may delay shipping on standard and international orders by days. So, it appears a shipment arrived. Let's hope it was a big shipment. Hopefully this situation is sorted out in the near future as this adapter is VERY popular with Linux users. It is normally a little more expensive.
Ships to Canada and US. It is mid-priced, well made and works well in managed mode, master mode and monitor mode. It is a very solid, stable performer in 5 GHz AP mode. It runs cool and uses a maximum of only about mA power when under heavy load.
You really need to use it with a Raspberry Pi 4b so as to get the full througput capability. It works well with desktop systems an extention cable with cradle is helpful.
It also works well with laptop systems. This adapter is a high quality product with good range and is plug and play in all of the modern distros of Linux. Highly recommended. That is not what you want. Many sellers are having inventory problems. I have tested it with various desktop and laptop systems. The cost of this adapter is very low. My experience is that this adapter does provide good stable performance. In fact, during my testing, it outperformed in link quality and signal level vs.
For more information, see How to Modeswitch. To clarify: Most Linux users will never know that this adapter is multi-state because the usb-modeswitch utility is installed and active on almost all modern Linux distros so the above adapter will "just work. As the OS is updated this problem will go away. I like this setup because it can route near gigabit speeds. The rpi runs kodi, a shairport server and a bluetooth sound receiver server too. I bought the wifi adapter from AliExpress. Walmart - Walmart has many sellers of this adapter.
Note: The distance from adapter to access point was about 20 feet through 2 walls. I was using a clean DFS channel and set iperf3 to run for 2 minutes so as to see if there were any abnormalities that would show up.
No problems noted. This adapter can sustain high transfer rates and uses only about mA during sustained high transfer rates. I have been using the adapter as my daily driver on my main workstattion for about 2 months now.
I have not noticed any drops at all. It seems to be a very solid adapter and has pretty good range. Overall, this adapter is solid and comes with a faily low price tag. I'll test master and monitor modes as I have time but, quite frankly, I expect both to work as I have yet to test an adapter with a mtu chipset that has shown anything but rock solid, by the book performance.
More information about the mtu chipset can be found here. If you have questions, please post in Discussions or Issues. Review by Nick - The Netgear A is a good product. I enjoy using it. It is mid-priced and well made. It is an adapter that is designed to be portable and, as such, has a shorter range than adapters with larger antennas. It comes with a good quality USB3 extention cable plus cradle. It is a stable performer. I have noted that it runs a little warm but not so warm that it will cause problems.
Users looking for a portable AC adapter that uses an in-kernel driver and has good performance over short to medium distances should be happy with this adapter. AliExpress - AliExpress has many links to this adapter. Review: Interesting read from a group that changed over to this adapter.
Important: The following links are for adapters where I have limited information but either the ad or driver download or both indicates the adapter is based on the mtu or mtun chipsets.
However, online ads often contain bad information so please take your time and research each with care before buying and make sure you can return the adapter if it is not the right product.
Please report success or failure so that the information can be included here. Walmart - Walmart has many links to adapters based on the mtu chipset. You want the more modern V2 model that is based on the mtu chipset. Both now include the firmware for the mtu chipset. I am going to leave the below guidance for some time as there may be other Debian based distros that are not updated yet and this is a tricky issue because many users will think they need to install a driver It was the firmware that was missing.
Update: - Debian 11 was released. As downstream distros rebase on this new release, this problem will go away. It is an oversite. It has been reported to Debian and has been fixed but the fix will not show up until the next Debian stable is released expected 14 August In the meantime, users can download and install the firmware file called mtu.
I have recently been testing master AP mode: This adapter is exceptional in 2. The range in both bands exceeds the wifi router that I tested it against and I consider that wifi router to have good range. That is fast enough for most use cases and will be for a long time but it is not as fast as you can get from an AC adapter. This adapter shows good link quality and signal level even in difficult situations where other adapters would drop the connection.
My testing shows that this adapter has the longest range of any current dual band consumer grade adapter that Alfa sells and Alfa is known for their long range products.
My opinion is that this adapter is the single best adapter available for use with Kali Linux or other distros used for pen testing and security analysis. It comes with the required USB2 cable and a clip that allows you to mount the adapter in various locations.
It has better range than most other small adapters that I have used. I am not saying that it is a long range adapter, just that it does pretty good for being a very small adapter. And it is a small adapter.
The picture may make the adapter look larger than it is. It is not much bigger than a nano size adapter. Overall, it is a solid performer. Walmart - Walmart has many links to adapters based on the rt chipset.
AliExpress - AliExpress has many links to adapters based on the rt chipset. Note: Keeping an inexpensive single band adapter that is supported by in-kernel drivers in your toolkit can be very handy. Note: Several of the below adapters say "Raspberry Pi" which seems to imply they only works with the Raspberry Pi OS but that is not the case.
These adapters will work with any mainstream Linux distro that is currently supported by its maker. Another point to make is while N adapters are not the latest toy available, they are still very capable, very solid and will certainly allow users to stream FHD video, watch youtube videos, listen to online music and support heavy web surfing without slowdown.
Some are cheap enough to justify keeping one around as a backup if for no other reason. My wife's computer uses an adapter with a mtu chipset. It just works. In case you are wondering, she uses Linux Mint 20 on an old, but still fast enough, quad core desktop. I have read many positive comments from Linux users about this adapter. I can't find any new adapters with the rt chipset for sale.
My adapter with this chipset is many years old but still snaps to life and works very well when plugged in so if you see adapters, even used adapters with the rt chipset, know that it is still supported in modern distros of Linux and likely will be supported for a long time.
If you are wondering if this adapter is slow You can stream video, surf the net, and listen to online radio without buffering or slowdown as long as you have good internet service. I don't list chipsets and adapters here unless I am confident they will meet today's use cases for the WiFi bands that they support. It runs cool. The driver only supports managed client mode and monitor mode, however, this is not an adapter you want if you do WiFi security analysis as some features are not supported in monitor mode.
It appears the product was designed for limited function to keep costs low. I have conducted a long term test of this adapter in client managed mode and it is very solid. This adapter is a low cost product but appears to be of reasonable quality. If you need a low cost adapter that is only going to be used only in client managed mode, you should be happy with this adapter or the EDUP adapter below.
Note: The below list is ranked in order by quality of driver with best at the top. The best overall Realtek drivers currently are the au, the au au and au chipsets and the 88x2bu bu and bu chipsets.
These drivers perform well in all supported modes that I have been able to test. I concentrate my testing on client managed , AP and monitor modes. The fastest driver in managed mode is the 88x2bu bu and bu chipsets. My advice, for Linux users needing to buy a new adapter, is to give preference to Mediatek chipset based adapters, as shown above, because the Mediatek drivers are based on Linux Wireless Standards mac and are maintained in the kernel.
This makes the Mediatek based adapters much more troublefree in the long run. If you are unable to find an adapter based on Mediatek chipsets, then I recommend adapters based on these chipsets in order : au, au and bu. I currently recommend you AVOID adapters based on the Realtek au chipset as the driver is not good and I am not seeing anything from Realtek that would change this assessment. Note: Remember that Realtek out-of-kernel drivers require you to find, download, compile and install the driver source code.
The below links provide a lot of information, including information about supported adapters. Nine total chipsets are supported with the following five drivers. The rtlau chipset is an aging chipset that will likely never be supported by an in-kernel driver which leaves users dependent on Realtek to release future out-of-kernel source code. This makes buying adapters based on this chipset somewhat risky for Linux users.
I am attempting to add more robust support for more of the modern chipsets that are out there to include N and AC. The problem I seem to be having is monitor mode doesn't work with the standard drivers so a specific set of drivers needs to be used.
Ubuntu Universe arm64 Official. Looking arch wiki they mentioned the chipset rtlau and they suggest a packet for its drivers. At boot, udev takes an inventory of your hardware and loads appropriate modules drivers for your corresponding hardware, which will in turn allow creation of a network interface.

The LaborLawTalk. Beside of this you may also find wifi cards that are capable of 5ghz. A simple calculator, that calculates proteins, fats, carbohydrates, food energy and glycemic index. This answer is not useful. It's not available in the Arch Linux repositories.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. This is usually used to read messages from device drivers, but it can also be used to find the kernel version.
See the table below for a list of supported devices by the iwlwifi driver. This package now forces to use the branch v5. Currently I'm on 5. I don't like re-inventing the wheel but was unable to find a driver that was built for the RTLAU adaper in the store, I bought one, mainly for 5GHz band as well as 2. The pkgver function autobumps the pkgver, a manual bump would defeat the purpose of using VCS.
Also the lwfinger repo provide the newest rtlau source driver including the Fix driver for build with kernels up to 4. For Mac Hence, a higher number means a better rtlau alternative or higher similarity.
Monitor mode. Run makepkg. There are copies of the source available on github.
