Is your laptop's Wi-Fi too weak or does the connection drop constantly? The ALFA Network AWUS036AC is your lifesaver. This powerful USB adapter replaces your weak internal Wi-Fi card with real high-gain power. With AC1200 speed, two detachable WiFi antennas, and a practical USB dock stand, you get the maximum range and speed out of your network.

The Upgrade for Weak Wi-Fi Receivers

Many laptops and PCs have tiny antennas built into the casing, shielded by metal and electronics. The ALFA AWUS036AC solves this problem radically. It moves reception to the outside. With its two powerful dual-band antennas, it "hears" signals much better and transmits back stronger. The result: A stable connection through walls or across the entire campsite.

Speed Meets Flexibility
The adapter operates on the modern Wi-Fi 5 standard (802.11ac) and achieves combined speeds of up to 1200 Mbps. That's easily enough for 4K streaming or online gaming without lag. The highlight is the included USB dock: Instead of plugging the stick directly into the USB port (where it's often blocked), you simply place it on your desk or shelf using the extension cable. Better position = Better reception.

Antennas of Your Choice
The two included 5dBi antennas are already very strong. But since ALFA Network uses the standard RP-SMA connector, you can connect even larger antennas or directional antennas if needed to bridge extreme distances.
