Old Alfa AWUS036H for modern networks? - Guest323232 - 01-25-2022
Hi!
I can get cheap old Alfa AWUS036H 802.11b/g for learning purpuses. As I understand things modern wireless routers use at least n standard which that old usb modem does not support. Will that alfa be able to monitor newer routers or not? Package injection on n network probably wouldnt work?
Thx

Working fine on Linux operating system (mandatory) and hcxdumptool/hcxlabtool series.
Chipset Realtek RTL8187
Code:
$ lsusb
ID 0bda:8187 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187 Wireless Adapterhttps://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/ALFA_Network_AWUS036H
Make sure it will get the RTL8187 one!
Full support on all 2.4GHz channels:
Code:
$ sudo hcxdumptool -i wlp5s0f4u2 -C

all required ioctl() system calls are supported by driver

starting antenna test and packet injection test (that can take up to two minutes)...
stage 2 of 2 probing frequency 2484/14 proberesponse 223
packet injection is working on 2.4GHz!
injection ratio: 17% (BEACON: 1250 PROBERESPONSE: 223)
your injection ratio is poor - improve your equipment and/or get closer to the target
antenna ratio: 82% (NETWORK: 68 PROBERESPONSE: 56)
your antenna ratio is excellent, let's ride!
terminating...Please notice:
Injection test result is poor, because it was tested using a dummy load (laboratory environment) instead of an antenna. I don't want to jam the entire frequency spectrum for this test.
A good antenna is mandatory:
