Help me decide plz on what to buy (wifi-usb adapter)???
by Cybernetic from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4SS16)
So my home router is tp-link TD-W8960N my pc usb ports are version 2.0 and i was thinking to buy this wifi usb adaptor Alfa Network AWUS036NH USB Adapter 5db .
My concerns :
1/ I want something to work with linux mint latest edition currently(19.2) .
2/ Something to be able to have packet injection and monitoring capabilities ,cuz later im gonna switch into kali ,black linux etc when i get more knowledge.
3/ Something that has the above capabilities but also low signal, cuz it's going to be in my room and my router is 2 rooms away behind walls ofc but im asking for low signal so it wont mess up my health..
4/Something that it is compatible with my router and WPA2/PSK
Other wifi usb adaptors from ALPHA(cuz i heard that those are the best for pen testing) that are available in my country are as follows :
a) Alfa Network 802.11n/b/g AWUS036NEH USB
b) Alfa Network AWUS036ACS AC600 Usb Wireless Adapter
c) Alfa Network AWUS036EW 802.11 b/g
d)Alfa Network AWUS036H V5 Usb
e)Alfa Network AWUS036NH USB Adapter 5db
If you have some other recommendations plz do tell me . I heard that usb wifi dongles have low signal and are suitable to be in ur room,what you say ?
Thank you all !
