Alfa AWUS036NHR v2 Wireless-N USB Wi-Fi wireless adapter RTL8188RU (No Mount)

Description

Brand new in retail box and includes the
AWUS036NHR v2 adapter, a 5 dBi antenna, driver CD, and a USB cable (no U-mount holder included)
.
This is not compatible with the ALFA R36A router and needs to be plugged directly into a PC. It boosts the range just of that PC.
We buy direct from Alfa and are an authorized retailer of Alfa products. 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.
It will work with any computer that has an available USB port and
Windows 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.
