Review: Works with Linux - Works with most linux distros out of the box, Mint/studio/ubuntu. Bought this item to replace an older adptor, range is good and can see a lot more networks than I used to be able to. NOTE: This product is recommended in several guides for kali linux. It does work but you may need to use the aircrack drivers instead of the ones recommended online. it's easy enough to install with DKMS and afterwards this device functions properly. Packet injection works, monitor mode works. Airodump/wifite/kismet all function fine with this device. very nice adptor and at a good price. Would recommend.
Review: High quality wifi adapter. Perfect for security engineers, and supports monitor mode on linux - I purchased this wifi adapter as part of my security training. I was impressed with the range of the adapter, which was able to pick up even the weakest signals from down the road. Initially, I was worried that the adapter would not be plug-and-play or that the drivers would not be available for Kali Linux and my daily driver Linux system. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the adapter was easy to use and installed quickly. The adapter is sleek and doesn't stand out, even the LED only blinks when it's being used. The clip-on feature is also a nice bonus. One of the best features of this adapter is that it is able to enter monitor mode. This was perfect for what I needed it for, as I was able to use the adapter to scan for nearby networks and collect data. Overall, I am very happy with this wifi adaptor. It is easy to use, has a long range, and is able to enter monitor mode. I would definitely recommend this adaptor to anyone looking for a high-quality wifi adaptor.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this support packet injection?**
A: It can, but you have to manually download a project and compile from source. Still early days and a bit buggy with the injection drivers, monitor mode appears to work ok, the hardware supports injection, so only a matter of time.

**Q: How's the support for this chipset on Kali Linux these days?**
A: apt update
apt install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms

**Q: will this work out of the box for Kali and/or parrot**
A: Nope.  Parrot it should do and Kali you need a small amount of work. David bombal on you tube reviews this one and shows you how to get working with Kali. Posted only this week.

**Q: Hi! how does it work on windows 10 cause I don`t see it having drivers for windows 10?**
A: Yes, works fine

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for analysing wifi traffic
*by "***" on 30 October 2022*

Works with out of box with kismet VM to analyse wifi traffic. One star off as couldn't see all packets between known nodes in network. This could be because it's listening in, so doesn't ask for re-transmits, or share perf info. When placed close to transmitter/receiver of traffic was much better. For sniffing wifi traffic, there may be better adapters out there, but this is still a reasonable product.
