ath9k is a solid choice and a manufacture advertising what actual chipset was used is worth supporting!
The blue LED is too bright, though.

Pros:
* Linux Mint (Ubuntu) immediately found the proper driver for it on plug in (big win here!).
* The USB cable allows positioning the dongle/antenna up to 6 feet from the USB port. This allowed me to raise the antenna height significantly and improve WiFi coverage in my home.
* It comes with adapters that allow for several mounting options.
Cons:
* It doesn't support WPA3 (however, the package does state this). WPA3 is the most recent WiFi security standard. Looking forward to Alpha updating this model to meet this.
* With all the mounting options, it doesn't include a wall mount option. I want to wall mount the dongle, so that's goof in my book...
Note - the dongle comes with a 6 inch external antenna. Alpha makes a 12 inch antenna
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009H028CM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
which I installed to further increase its range. Raising the dongle and installing the optional longer antenna adds about 1 bar to the various locations around the house.
Bottom line - it's a good product that needs to be updated to support WPA3 security.
This device supports packet injection, making it great for stress-testing in the field of Internet Security. It has a very long range (I re-used my 9dbi antenna that came packaged with the previous device I own), and this proves to be very useful when in areas that your router might not be able to reach, like your backyard.
This device does not support 802.11AC, which is fine, I actually use another device (The ALFA AC1200, or AWUS036AC found here: http://amzn.to/2b6wHcV) as my speed booster, however, my router only supports the 2.4GHz band, which is find as my DL speeds are 5x what they used to be regardless.
If you're looking for a quality networking product with extra functionality, I would recommend this. You can use it to more closely monitor your connections (with easy using either Linux or Windows tools), connect from a distance, and my personal favorite, use it to get the correct WiFi drivers when installing a new Linux Distro. The Atheros 9K driver (ath9k) is a FOSS driver that allows any modern Linux distribution to gain access to your WiFi, where you can install the correct drivers in order to get your onboard WiFi working.
Very high-quality product! Recommended for home use, networking stress testing use, and computer enthusiast use to allow you to further understand networking via the functionality of this device. For the price, you might as well get the other item I linked, however, this one allows the packet injection required for the added network functionality. I hope this review helps you decide whether or not this is the right device for you.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 19, 2023
Evidentemente el tiempo le pasa factura y solo funciona con 2.5Ghz pero vamos, a mí no me supone ningún problema, así que perfecto.
Le plus gros avantage de cette antenne, c'est son chipset Atheros: celui-ci permet, entre autres, d'avoir une compatibilité presque parfaite entre tous les systèmes d'exploitation. Pour ma part, l'antenne est reconnue et installée automatiquement sous Linux ainsi que Windows 10 (Si jamais des problèmes de compatibilité se posent, il y a tout de même un cd avec les drivers fournis dans le package).
Un autre point majeur de cette antenne, c'est qu'elle est compatible avec le Monitor Mode ainsi que l'injection de paquets dans le réseau, cela signifie donc une compatibilité avec la suite Aircrack-ng ainsi que tous les outils dédiés au pentesting réseau).
Encore un petit avantage, non négligeable, c'est sa transportabilité: en effet, ce produit possède une antenne amovible ainsi qu'orientable
Pour conclure, je ne conseillerais pas ce produit pour un utilisateur lambda (car beaucoup trop cher). Par contre, pour un utilisateur expérimenté, ce produit est très intéressant de son rapport qualité-prix, son chipset Atheros (comptabilité) ainsi que ses fonctions de pentesting
