ALFA NETWORK AWUS036AXML 802.11axe WiFi 6E USB 3.0 Adapter AXE3000, Tri Band 6 GHz, Gigabit Speed up to 3Gbps

I use this in combination with a GL.iNet GL-MT3000 travel router to rebroadcast a local wifi signal on my own SSID - this allows me to avoid having to log every device into the network, solves the incompatibility of Chromecasts with hotel captive portal setups, and have all of the connected clients tunnel through a VPN even if they don't directly connect to the VPN themselves. This plugs into the router's USB port, and connects to the local site AP, while all clients connect to the MT3000. This device is supported well in OpenWRT's master branch (and maybe the 23.x releases?) The only minor issue, and it's kind of a known quantity for Alfa's high-power long-range units, is that it's a power hog and will not work reliably with the MT3000 using that router's stock power supply which is undersized - you need to inject extra power into the system to have it be stable. But that's more of an issue with the MT3000 than this product.

This is a mix bag review it has 5 starts because It works and it worked with windows 10, and it worked well. But I got it to use on my lcd steam deck. And even though I got it to work on my steamdeck I only got it to work on my steamdeck using lower grade USB cables. Any higher end Cable would work long enough to detect WiFi networks but then would quickly crash. Forcings the deck to reboot. And the only way I found around this was to use low-end charge cables. But then I would end up with another issue if I unplug the WiFi adapter the steam deck would still crash. I suspect these issues to be driver related. But since I'm not tech savvy enough to debug Linux. I'll just have to wait till newer instances of steamos come out hopefully with driver fixes and updates for this WiFi adapter. I have had Alfa USB adapters in the past and had no issues with them. I have been pleasantly happy it is disappointing that this one is giving me issues. But it's probably driver issues baked in to a very niche device. So I can't blame Alfa

I just purchased this adapter to take advantage of the capabilities associated with the 802.11ax standard, and despite the official stance that it should be "plug and play" on Ubuntu, I did run into an issue with getting it to work. The fix is pretty easy though. My system is running Ubuntu 22.04 with the latest kernel, but in order to get the driver to load properly I had to disable bluetooth by blacklisting it in my /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file. For good measure I also removed the two BT firmware files (BT_RAM_CODE*) in /lib/firmware/mediatek/. Once I did that it started working.

Fails to load in Kali 2024.4 in both native and VMware environments. Linux drivers on official site out-of-date and corrupted. Often locks up both machines. Will never buy Alfa again!

First of all, I would like to highlight the excellent work of Amazon and DHL. They are truly a wonderful team. The package arrived within 2 to 3 days maximum from the USA to Morocco. With Amazon, I don’t have to worry about customs issues, packages being held, or wasting my time and money. Everything is handled directly on the Amazon website, and the item is delivered straight to my home. 👉 10/10 for Amazon, no doubt. Regarding the AWUS036AXML: The device is beautiful and well built, but I find it less effective than my old RT3070, which was plug and play, required no driver installation, and had better long-range signal reception. The AWUS036AXML driver really needs an update. I hope that Windows will integrate its driver directly in the future. That said, it is still a reliable Wi-Fi card with solid overall performance. 👉 I recommend it.

MT7922 chip has in kernel drivers in recent kernels. Worked in x86_64 arch Linux and a RaspiOS bullseye install on an Rpi3. Tested via hostapd to make an access point, and everything was just plug play, charge the config text file and bam DIY access point. For bonus stability, disable Bluetooth if you don't need it. Power is decent, made it about 25m through 3 walls from the house to the garage on 2.4ghz, about as good as my old R7000 router could do. Alfa stuff is not the cheapest out there, but it is well made.

Windows 11 Pro. Works most of the time and when it does is very fast. Every couple of days I need to physically disconnect and reconnect. Bluetooth does not work. Drivers are hard to get and they are not Signed making it an untrusted device.

Works fine, connects to my router running WPA3 Personal. Be aware that the Windows driver does NOT support monitor mode, so if you plan on Wiresharking, you'll need to be running Linux.

Das WiFi 6E 6 GHz Bandgerät setzt neue Maßstäbe in Sachen Internetgeschwindigkeit und -leistung. Dank des speziellen Mediatek-Chipsatzes, der ursprünglich für videointensive Streaming-Fernseher entwickelt wurde, und der Beamforming-Technologie, die 6-GHz-Kanäle nutzt, ist WiFi noch nie so schnell und effizient gewesen. Die AXE3000 WLAN-Geschwindigkeit von bis zu 3 Gbps ist beeindruckend und bietet eine um 2,5-mal schnellere Verbindung als WiFi 5. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Abwärtskompatibilität mit älteren WiFi-Standards (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac), was eine nahtlose Integration in bestehende Netzwerke ermöglicht. Die im Lieferumfang enthaltenen 5 dBi-Verstärkungsantennen sorgen für einen leistungsstarken Empfang, und es besteht die Möglichkeit, auf kompatible Richtungs- oder höhere Verstärkungsantennen aufzurüsten. Dadurch gibt es keine Grenzen in Bezug auf die Empfangsqualität. Das USB 3.0-Kabel mit USB-C- und USB-A-Anschlüssen macht das Gerät vielseitig einsetzbar für alle modernen Laptops und Desktop-Computer. Die Kompatibilität mit jedem Router oder Mesh-WLAN-System, insbesondere mit WiFi 6E-Routern, stellt sicher, dass man das volle Potenzial des 6 GHz Bands ausschöpfen kann. Besonders praktisch ist, dass das Gerät als Client oder Empfänger agiert und sich einfach mit einem Computer oder Laptop verbinden lässt. Ein WLAN-Router ist es nicht, und es ist auch nicht kompatibel mit Handys oder Fernsehern, aber für die geforderte Leistung bei Laptops und Desktops ist es ideal. Die Unterstützung für Microsoft Windows 10 und 11 (32/64-Bit) rundet das Gesamtpaket ab. Insgesamt bietet das WiFi 6E 6 GHz Bandgerät eine beeindruckende Verbesserung der Internetgeschwindigkeit und ist eine lohnenswerte Investition für alle, die schnelles und zuverlässiges Internet wünschen.

Hé bien franchement je suis agréablement surpris de cette adaptateur USB Alpha AWUS036AXML il est Tri-Bandes 2.4 GHz/ 5 GHz/ 6 GHz - 3 Gbps. Par contre il faut dire que j'ai fait beaucoup de recherche avant de me décider a prendre celui-ci il est actuel est compatible Windows 11. Enfin je retrouve la joie du jeux en réseaux que je connaissait pas entre 5 à 7 de ping est je suis en Wi-Fi (802.11n) avec une bande passante impressionnante de 104/78 (Mbps) avant c'était pas possible de jouer j'avais le Wi-Fi G. Pour vous faire une idée le modem est aux rez-de chaussée je suis au premier étage séparer d'une dalle en béton est un mur épais il y a bien environ 30 mètre mais chose étonnante je reçoit internet comme ci j’étais tout près du Box modem. Je lui ai rajouté une rallonge de 2 mètre 3 en tout pour qu'il capte encore mieux il est presque collé a la porte d’entré de la chambre, n'hésiter pas prenez celui-ci vous ne serez pas déçu.

Uno de los mejores adaptadores Wi-Fi USB que he probado, especialmente si buscas rendimiento, alcance y compatibilidad con Wi-Fi 6. Desde que lo conecté, la diferencia en estabilidad y velocidad de conexión ha sido notable, incluso en entornos con mucha interferencia o routers alejados. Este adaptador destaca por su chipset Mediatek MT7921 de alto rendimiento, que no solo ofrece soporte para Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), sino también una excelente eficiencia energética y compatibilidad con Linux y Windows. Lo estoy usando en una torre sin tarjeta interna y ha superado fácilmente a otros adaptadores más caros. Uno de los mayores puntos fuertes es su potencia de transmisión y su antena de alta ganancia (RP-SMA removible), que garantiza una conexión sólida incluso a través de paredes. Es ideal para usuarios que viven en casas grandes, pisos con muchos vecinos, o que necesitan una señal fuerte para tareas como streaming en alta calidad, gaming online o pruebas de redes. Además, su diseño robusto y compacto, junto con un cable USB de extensión incluido, hace que sea muy fácil colocarlo en la mejor posición posible para optimizar la señal. En resumen: el AWUS036AXML es potente, confiable y preparado para el futuro de la conectividad inalámbrica. Si buscas un adaptador USB que combine el alcance de largo alcance con las ventajas del Wi-Fi 6, esta es una opción ganadora.

Works right outta the box for linux. Total awesome wifi adapter
