$42.97

ALFA AWUS036ACM brings dual antenna 802.11ac technology to PCs at an affordable cost. It is a new dual antenna 867 Mbps Wi-Fi USB adapter compatible with Windows XP through Windows 10. It features two RP-SMA antenna ports, and two 5 dBi dual-band antennas. The antennas are detachable and can be upgraded.

This product is very similar to ALFA AWUS036AC but it has the Mediatek MT7612U chipset.

AWUS036ACM is capable of receiving and transmitting on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. With 802.11ac standard routers, AWUS036AC can achieve throughput speeds up to 867 Mbps. This adapter is backward compatible with 802.11g and 802.11n networks, but an 802.11ac router is required for the maximum throughput.

This is brand new in retail box and includes the adapter, two 5 dBi dual-band antennas, driver CD.

AP mode support on 5 GHz may require the use of a module parameter, "disable_usb_sg", for maximum performance. For additional information and a script to assist with adding this module parameter,

Decent USB Adapter

I use wifi adapters to connect to hotspot signals for Internet. This adapter is good for short- and mid-range signals but not for longest range. It does well for what it's suited for.

Performs as expected

This item was purchased for its reported compatibility with Ubuntu 22, inclusion of device drivers in shipped kernel, and Access Point roaming enabled by default. The device was immediately recognized when hot plugged into a running Ubuntu 22 system, and AP roaming is functional out of the box. A vastly superior experience when compared to other common wifi chipsets.

Best one for Linux

Plug and play with Ubuntu. Only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is it's a little too thick which makes it hard to plug in stuff above and below it on my mobo. There's also no link/activity LED and no desktop stand. The included USB 3.0 extension cable is easily worth $5-$10 though so it's a really good deal. Glad I bought two of them.

Simple WiFi for Linux!

Perfect 'plug n play' solution for Fedora 35 on a Dell Optiplex 5040 desktop. The included 3 foot cable is well made, and an unexpected bonus. The adapter detects signals that a quite a distance away. Highly recommend! Thanks Rokland for the fast shipping.

ALFA AWUS036ACM 802.11ac Dual Band 2.4/5 GHz WiFi USB Adapter

This is a perfect choice for Linux running systems. The driver is part of the Linux kernel now, so there is a minimum of effort needed to make it work (on Gentoo Linux, just recompile the kernel after adding Mediatek MT76x2U driver to the kernel in "menuconfig"). It works fine on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz wifi.
