User questions & answers

Question:	are all these wifi entenders work on the ring door bell
Answer:	You can run adobe flash in any Windows , So you can run it in Huawei MateBook
Question:	show 100% signal, but I can not connect to my Frontier internet provider
Answer:	The Matebook does not have a card slot so you cannot insert any form of flash memory. The Matebook has a single USB-C port. I have attached to that port a Minix Neo-C hub. That hub has a microsd card slot and standard SD card reader slot. The Matebook can read memory cards in both slots. Although I have not tried it, I expect that if you attach any kind of USB-C to standard USB converter (e.g. Apple make a very good one) you could then attach to that any USB card reader. As to "OTG", I do not believe that term strictly applies to a full PC. However, subject to having the correct physical adapter, the Matebook USB-C slot appears to me to provide all of the functionality you could expect from the OTG functionality of a non-PC mobile device.
Question:	The instructions for the repeater seem to be written for windows, not for os. will the repeater set up on my iphone/macbook
Answer:	Hi! When watching local videos, you can continue to play for about 5 hours, or browse the web chat can last longer
Question:	i am trying to find something that would work with my cell phone hotspot to connect more then one device. cell company allows only one device work

User questions & answers

Question:	windows 10 drivers laggy. Do I really need the realtek drivers or is the windows one just as fast
Answer:	Well i can tell you that this antenna does not need a driver from the manufacturer, Windows 10 provides a universal driver for it.
Question:	Does this come with link to download drivers? I have mac and can't use mini cd
Answer:	I had the same problem. They provided a link to download the drivers, which I did. I installed them on my MacBook Pro and attempted to restart as prompted. My trusty Mac refused to restart even in "safe mode". Tried rebooting in recovery mode and again, would not boot up. I ended up reinstalling my entire drive from a back up drive. Total time wasted=5 hours and I sent this back for a refund. Don't bother wasting your money if you have a Mac, it will only cause you grief.
Question:	im confused is this a device that will allow a non wifi laptop/desktop to have wifi? can i use it simply as a booster for my wifi enabled laptop
Answer:	To be technical this creates another network adapter for your computer/laptop. It can NOT be used as a booster for range with an existing wireless adapter. It might get better range than your current adapter. But it will not supplement it at all. Completely separate device from any other network adapter (wired or wireless).
Question:	Success installing drivers on Linux
Answer:	Hey guys, I'm able to have it working on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I did follow the dkms solution posted by the other user; the script ran into an error, that's when I noticed the shell script requires a manual edit to edit out the version number for the driver's directory, once that's done the shell script ran just fine. Also, I had this adapter plugged into a USB 2.0 port, and the wifi would not accept the password; once I plug it into a USB 3.0 port (duh, lol) the wifi accepted the password and working just fine.

User questions & answers

Question:	Just to be clear this is for a computer with no wifi card, right
Answer:	unknown. using on windows & works fine
Question:	Will this work for a projector
Answer:	This adapter is what enables your laptop to access a wireless internet connection. Therefore, you must have it plugged in any time you want to access a wireless internet connection. However, if you are not using a wireless internet connection, you can unplug it. I'm not sure how long it's meant to last though. I would guess 4 - 5 years-- similar to the lifespan of many electronics nowadays-- with variability depending in part by how you use it, how much it gets knocked around, etc.
Question:	would this work for boosting the free WiFi that the campgrounds provides

User questions & answers

Question:	How do you install mac drivers if your mac has no optical drive? Can I download the drivers
Answer:	You can try going to the website and try to download them from Alpha, otherwise buy and external portable cd/dvd rom drive. I have not tried this on my Mac yet, but I've tried to use this wifi adapter on 2 different Windows machines and it was very unstable. Good luck.
Question:	will it work in kali linux
Answer:	I have used it with other linux OSs and it works fine without drivers
Question:	Will it run on windows 8.1 or Windows 10? I have recently had an issue with another Alfa product that did not have good drivers for windows 8.1 at all
Answer:	Yes and no. I can only speak for Windows 8.1, and the answer for that is that YES it will work, but not with USB 3.0. The only driver that will install for it no matter what is 1027.4.630.2015, which is a USB 2.0 driver. The latest 7/8.1/10 driver on Alfa and Rokland's site is 1030.0.0515.2015. (They are identical besides naming). This driver will install if you disable driver signature enforcement mode, but will not start. Realtek does not have any listing for the RTL8812AU chip that this device has on it's site either. I cannot find any other drivers that work. The use of 1030 can cause BSODs in a USB 3.0 port or just not work depending on the system. 1027 will only install through device manager automatically. I've put many, many hours into finding a solution to this. There is none. Their driver is faulty and the support for this device is nonexistant. That being said, this is literally THE best Wifi AC adapter on the market for range. Over USB 2.0 you will be able to get somewhere over 300mbps after overhead. This device is able to receive 30dbm better than the ASUS USB-AC55, and can see access points very far away through many walls and floors. I tried it in a hotel and was able to see all 13 hotel access points in the 4 story 400 room hotel, as well as a large number of guest hotspots.The ping is a solid 2ms as long as HT40 and VHT80 are off. If they are enabled you will get erratic pink with spikes to the router of over 30ms during transfers.Lastly, you cannot scan for networks and use the adapter at the same time. Simply clicking the windows network icon creates a ping spike of over 500ms which is essentially a pause during the search. Using a scanning utility like inSSIDer or the better utility Acrylic Wi-Fi stops the ability to connect to anything completely until scanning is stopped. There is clearly something very wrong with these drivers but this is the only choice. Hopefully Windows 10 is another story. Perhaps I'll post a full review when I reinstall and upgrade.All in all it's working perfectly for what I need. I only get 60/4 and 120/5 is the max delivered in the area. If I ever manage to get 1gbps internet you can bet your top dollar that I will not be connecting to it over WiFi! :)
Question:	is this adapter capable of packet injection and monitor mode
Answer:	Darkmatter at Def Con used this card in monitor mode using drivers he patches. You can find them over at PalsHack (http://palshack.org/monitor-mode-with-alfa-ac1200-rtl8812au/)
