Alfa AWUS036ACH is a slapping good WiFi adapter. It's mounted in my roof and I run a 10m USB extension cable from the roof to the network rack.

- rektide 5y agoI'm a huge fan of Alfa gear, for a long time. They do an amazingly good job. AWUS036ACH is one of Alfa's most up to date USB cards. It is, however based off an RTL8812AU chipset[1], which is 8 years old now[2]. I'd love at least to have a good client chipset & equipment that supports WiFi6 that has good RF performance. I still think the market is overly structured & segmented. No one makes AP-class chips for USB, but to be honest I really think they could & should & that it'd be exceptionally useful & good. But no one dares to threaten the AP market like that. Thankfully in wifi, RF engineering & antennas count for a huge amount. You still have great gear. But it does hurt me to see what seems like rampant tech-stagnation & neglect, of such a vital, interesting, basic part of modern communication technology: our wireless systems.
