Using Alfa AWUS036NHA on Microsoft Windows 10 & Windows 11

Using Alfa AWUS036NHA on Microsoft Windows 10 & Windows 11

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.

    as recently as march 2021
    this is what i found that it works on windows 10 64 bits version 20H2

    simply download the cab file directly from microsoft
    extract the cab file to a folder using winrar
    then send the extracted folder to my documents

    now go to device manager to install the drivers
    if the driver path is set to default
    meaning my documents then all you have to do is click next and it will automatically
    will detect and install the driver files

    if you change the path because you install a previous driver manually
    then make sure to set the path to my documents

    i will try to find a newer driver version then will post the link
    but for now this one will do

    this is just the driver, without any app
    you can use windows built in wifi scanner app

    these are the links
