The offered card is based on the Realtek RTL8811AU chipset - supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies - The aforementioned chipset offers high sensitivity (18dBi) so that even weak or distant signals will be received with appropriate speed and stability. The card has an RP-SMA antenna input, which allows you to connect a directional or omnidirectional antenna.
The card supports monitor mode.
The AWUS036ACS is capable of receiving and transmitting in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. With 802.11ac routers, it can achieve throughputs of up to 433 Mbps. This card is backward compatible with 802.11g and 802.11n networks. An 802.11ac router is required for maximum throughput.
This product is compatible with the Alfa APA-M25 dual-band panel antenna. Your 802.11ac router will perform optimally when all your computers are AC, so this is a very inexpensive way to upgrade all your devices.

Note, the method below on the latest Kali Linux no longer works (they should fix it in the future), to currently install the drivers in the Kali Linux 2024 version you need to download them from Github as described on our blog: https://sapsan-sklep.pl/blogs/artykuly/alfa-awus-kali-linux-2024-fix
To install the drivers on Linux, just enter the command: apt-get install -y realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms
