Alfa has not released a driver package for Alfa AWUS036NHA (Atheros AR9271 chipset) beyond Windows 7.
However it has come to our attention that AWUS036NHA can be stable on Windows 8, 10, and 11 using this third party driver. This driver was made for a different brand product which uses the same AR9271 chipset. Note that after installing, the device will appear in Device Manager as "TP-LINK Wireless USB Adapter" instead of Atheros or Alfa. This is because TP-Link is associated with Microsoft as the Device Developer ID of this driver package.
We have tested the driver extensively and it appears to work with the Alfa AWUS036NHA well. However it should be considered a beta driver until further notice.
works perfectly fine on windows 11.
install the drivers on compatible mode and you will not have a problem.
thank you!
bought this alfa on amazon and they don’t mention it’s not natively compatible with win 10 – but this driver worked! tp-link is the bomb
Alfa AWUS036NHA driver from link provided works with Win10 Pro, version 22H2 as of February, 2023 perfectly!
Thank you!
setup.exe works on win10, january 2023
