The Linux Specialist for Long Range

The ALFA AWUS036ACHM fills an important niche. It is stronger than tiny USB sticks but more affordable and compact than the large AC1200 monsters. Its heart is the MediaTek MT7610U. This chip is beloved by the Linux community because it often requires no complex driver installation. Just plug it in and go.

Focus on Stability
While other adapters advertise theoretical top speeds, the ACHM focuses on connection quality. As an AC600 adapter (1x1 MIMO), it uses a single but very powerful antenna. This makes it more energy-efficient than dual-antenna models, which is particularly advantageous when using laptop batteries, without sacrificing the famous ALFA range.

Flexibility in Use
Thanks to the RP-SMA connector, you are not tied to the included antenna. Pentesters and campers appreciate the ability to connect special high-gain or panel antennas to reach distant networks. The included "Screen Clip" mount also allows for quick attachment to the screen edge for optimal reception.
