The "Hassle-Free" Choice for Linux Pros
Many high-end WiFi USB adapters use chipsets that require tedious manual driver installation on Linux. The ALFA Network AWUS036ACM takes a different path. It uses the MediaTek MT7612U chip. for users of Kali Linux, Parrot OS, or Ubuntu, this usually means: No driver installation required. The adapter is recognized immediately and supports out-of-the-box functions like Monitor Mode and Packet Injection.
Strong Hardware, Flexible Placement
Technically, the ACM plays in the same league as the famous AWUS036ACH. It offers AC1200 speed and USB 3.0 performance. To ensure optimal reception, a practical **USB Dock (Cradle)** is included. So you don't have to hide the stick behind the PC but can position the antennas freely.
Future-Proof and Modular
Thanks to the two RP-SMA connectors, you are not limited to the included antennas. You can attach larger panel or yagi antennas at any time to bridge extreme distances. This makes the ACM a versatile tool for Pentesters and campers alike.
