The offered card is based on the Realtek RTL8811AU chipset - it supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies - The mentioned chipset offers high sensitivity (18dBi), thanks to which 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.
AWUS036ACS is able to receive and transmit in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Thanks to 802.11ac routers, it can achieve throughput up to 433 Mb/s. 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 cheap way to upgrade all your devices.
