Alfa AWUS036H review.

So lets start.

The package contains:
 - The Alfa adapter.
 - Usb cable, 1m approximately.
 - 5dBi antenna.
 - A plastic mount cup.

 




The adapter looks like this with, and without the mount cup:




















I must say first, it is really lightweight. It's like there is nothing in your hands.

The build quality is okey, I guess. It has a platic-ish feeling to it, and I feel that if I drop it to thr ground it will break, but what can you expect for a awesome adapter for 26$.

So lets see it's performance!

First, my internal Atheros chipset.









Now, with the Alfa AWUS036H.

I would say that the AWUS036H can do around 90ft (30m) in "terrain", by that I mean trees, bushes, walls etc.
But in clear sight it can probably do 120(60m), or 150ft.(70m).

So overall, I'd say this is an awesome adapter, at an awesome price. I like it because it is, as said above, lightweight, easy to handle, good range, stable chipset. it do have some downpoints also, it feels kind of cheap, and plasticy. Also since the chipset does not have a heatsink, it get's a little hot after a while. Although it has some downpoints, it is worth 26$, and it's awesome to everybody who is into networking and pentesting. Also, I recommend to buy it at Rokland store website (Link one the side), or Rokland eBay store (that's where I bought mine). Rokland are a certified Alfa distributor. So they are trusted.

And, here is some more pictures:

It also fits perfect on the top of a laptop screen ;-)





















(I will do a comparison on the 5dBi antenna and the 9dBi antenna when it arrives.)
