Review: Amazing product. - Simply perfect. Review: Quite expensive but it works well. - I have moved to fibre-to-the-house internet, with a design speed of 150 Mbps (million bits per second). With the old compact USB dongle, I was getting around 30 Mbps. With the new dongle I am getting 140 Mbps, so close to the speed that I am paying for. The product consists of a central dongle, two antennae that screw on, and a USB cable. The device sits on top of the computer tower, and connects to the computer USB port using the cable. The computer's operating system is Arch Linux (Endeavour OS). The dongle was automatically detected by the operating system. I recommend this USB adaptor. ## Features - Dual band 2.4/5GHz 802.11ac WiFi USB adapter, 5dBi antenna, chipset MediaTek MT7612U.. - Giga Fast 802.11ac Wireless, better range & coverage. - Superior Wi Fi performance. - Increased bandwidth, more applications ideal for large traffic and lag HD video streaming for more devices in your living space. - Increased wireless signal penetration. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08BJS8FXD | | Best Sellers Rank | 15,020 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 144 in USB Computer Network Adapters | | Brand | ALFA Network | | Brand Name | ALFA Network | | Color | Black | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop | | Compatible Operating System Family | Linux, MacOS, Windows | | Compatible devices | Desktop, Laptop | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 913 Reviews | | Data Link Protocol | USB | | Data Transfer Rate | 300 Megabits Per Second | | Data link protocol | USB | | Hardware Interface | USB 3.0 | | Hardware interface | USB 3.0 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 8.5L x 2.6W x 1.2H centimetres | | Item Weight | 2.07 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Alfa Network | | Manufacturer Part Number | AWUS036ACM | | Model Number | AWUS036ACM | | Product dimensions | 8.5L x 2.6W x 1.2H centimetres | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ALFA Network - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible Operating System Family:** Linux, MacOS, Windows - **Compatible devices:** Desktop, Laptop - **Data link protocol:** USB - **Data transfer rate:** 300 Megabits Per Second - **Hardware interface:** USB 3.0 - **Item weight:** 2.07 Ounces - **Manufacturer:** Alfa Network - **Product dimensions:** 8.5L x 2.6W x 1.2H centimetres ## Images ![AWUS036ACM Long-Range Wide-Coverage Dual-Band AC1200 USB Wireless Wi-Fi Adapter w/High-Sensitivity External Antenna - Windows, MacOS & Kali Linux Supported - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/618FdNrUa0L.jpg) ![AWUS036ACM Long-Range Wide-Coverage Dual-Band AC1200 USB Wireless Wi-Fi Adapter w/High-Sensitivity External Antenna - Windows, MacOS & Kali Linux Supported - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UMOyyQl7L.jpg) ![AWUS036ACM Long-Range Wide-Coverage Dual-Band AC1200 USB Wireless Wi-Fi Adapter w/High-Sensitivity External Antenna - Windows, MacOS & Kali Linux Supported - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71N0ulTzJRL.jpg) ![AWUS036ACM Long-Range Wide-Coverage Dual-Band AC1200 USB Wireless Wi-Fi Adapter w/High-Sensitivity External Antenna - Windows, MacOS & Kali Linux Supported - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7113QQ+4W1L.jpg) ![AWUS036ACM Long-Range Wide-Coverage Dual-Band AC1200 USB Wireless Wi-Fi Adapter w/High-Sensitivity External Antenna - Windows, MacOS & Kali Linux Supported - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61An1ZQpH7L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the country of origin?** A: Taiwan **Q: I see it comes with a cd, can I install it without it?** A: It worked perfectly with both my Linux and Windows 10 computers without any driver installation at all. Never used the CD. **Q: Anyone know if this will work with a Chromebook built on Debian 10?** A: Debian 10 does include the driver.

Does anyone have any suggestions?** A: This device connects through the usb 3.0. Start by Opening the Virtual box: 1) Power off the Kali VM and then connect the wireless device to the usb 3.0 port. 2) Under Kali VM settings, select USB, click the USB β€œ+” icon and select the wireless device. 3) Make sure USB 3.0 is selected as the controller. 4) Unplug the WiFi adapter and power on Kali VM. Once Kali is powered on, reattach the device to the usb 3.0 port and it should automatically connect to the Kali VM. NOTE: This will not work if Kali VM is open and running! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing product. *by J***A on 4 April 2026* Simply perfect. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quite expensive but it works well. *by M***G on 3 October 2024* I have moved to fibre-to-the-house internet, with a design speed of 150 Mbps (million bits per second).
