Alfa AWUS036AC- Dual Antenna 867 Mbps 802.11ac Wi-Fi Adapter New for 2014
Alfa AWUS036AC brings long range 802.11ac technology to PCs at an
affordable cost. It is a new long range dual antenna 867 Mbps Wi-Fi USB
adapter compatible with Windows XP through Windows 8. It features two
RP-SMA antenna ports, and two 5 dBi dual-band antennas. The antennas are
detachable and can be upgraded.
AWUS036AC is capable of receiving and transmitting on both the 2.4 GHz
and 5 Ghz bands. With 802.11ac standard routers, AWUS036AC can acheive
throughput speeds up to 867 Mbps, almost three times that of the 802.11n
maximum of 300 Mbps. This adapter is backward compatible with 802.11b
and 802.11g networks, but will have limited speed with those networks.
An 802.11ac router is required for the maximum throughput.
The dual antennas and high receive sensitivity also allow it to pick up
Wi-Fi signals from up to 2 times the distance of newer internal
802.11ac Wi-Fi cards shipping inside today's laptops. This is brand new
in retail box and includes the adapter, two 5 dBi dual-band antennas,
driver CD, and USB docking base.
We buy direct from Alfa and are an authorized retailer of Alfa
products. Check directly with Alfa to verify you are getting a 100%

Special USB dock allows for optimal range placement
This adapter can connect directly to a USB port. A USB 3.0 port is
required for the maximum 867 Mpbs connection speed. The included dock
can be used to put the adapter in better placement for increased range.
Using this device with our without the dock on older computers that do
not have USB 3 ports will limit speed to 480 Mbps.
It will work with any computer that has an available USB port and Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8/8.1.
This works on Microsoft Surface Pro tablets running Windows 8 (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.
