Alfa AWUS036NHR v2 version 2 Wireless-N USB WiFi adapter Realtek RTL8188RU chip

Description

Alfa AWUS036NHR v2 is a
long range 2000mW max RF output power Wi-Fi USB adapter from Alfa
Network, Inc., the leader in long range Wi-Fi. This is version 2,
launched in August 2013. It features a redesigned interior that
enhances quality and functionality. It is brand new in retail box and
includes the adapter, a 5 dBi antenna, driver CD, and a USB cable. It
also includes one mount holder with detachable suction cup and clip.
The cup is great if you want to fasten it to a window, while the clip
is perfect for mobile users as it allows the device to be easily and
safely clipped to the bezel on many laptop LCD displays.
We

Check directly with Alfa to verify you are getting a 100% genuine Alfa
adapter. Use the Contact page on their web site to email them your serial # and retailer of any Alfa item and they can confirm authenticity.
Use
this device to get much better Wi-Fi range on your desktop or laptop
PC. No built-in Wi-Fi card is required, this is a standalone Wi-Fi
receiver. Featuring a high end Realtek RTL8188RU chipset, Alfa
AWUS036NHR has markedly improved receive sensitivity compared to its
predecessor, model AWUS036NH. Watch the video above for a comparison.
If you have been holding out on upgrading your 802.11g standard Wi-Fi
adapter, now is the time to end the holdout. Alfa’s AWUS036NHR combines
the fast speed of 802.11n with long range reception for both 802.11g
and 802.11n standard.
The version 2 distinction is
notated on the backside label of the unit next to the model number.
It will work with any
computer that has an available USB port
and
Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 10
. It ships with a Linux driver, but this driver comes
with no warranty or support. Linux is a user supported operating system
and at
this time we do no have walk-throughs or guides for specific Linux
installs. We recommend searching online using the chipset name
RTL8188RU to find out if this is compatible with your Linux distro.
This works on Microsoft Surface Pro tablets running Windows 8 or 10 (requires
driver download) but does NOT work with Windows Surface RT tablets or
other tablets/laptops running Microsoft Surface RT, which looks like
Windows 8 but is actually a locked down version of Windows that does
not support 3rd party drivers.
This has an external
RP-SMA antenna port so you can add an external antenna to boost your
wireless range. See our
eBay
Store
for various external antenna
options. If your computer’s built-in Wi-Fi connection does not see
many signals, or it gets weak connections that don’t load web pages or
drop off, this is exactly what you need. If your computer does not have
a built-in Wi-Fi card, this will give you instant Wi-Fi capability
whether you want Wi-Fi access at home or when travelling. In
head-to-head range tests this has outperformed high end models from
Netgear, D-Link, Belkin, and other major brands.
