Please note that RTL8814AU chipset support is disabled in the realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms driver! A separate driver has been made for this chipset, which may conflict with RTL8814AU! Hot to install this driver on other Linux distributions, how to control TX power, how to switch between USB modes (2.0 and 3.0) and how control LED (LED), see this article. Reboot your system or unplug/plug an adapter. If you bought a dual band (2.4GHz & 5.0GHz) adapter with RTL8812AU/21AU chipset, you need to install rtl8812au driver. With any of these models you will be able to capture a handshake and to perform the majority of wireless attacks. Here I collected a big list of Wi-Fi dongles which support monitor mode and wireless injection. My personal preferences are modern models of Alfa. Alfa adapters are very good choice for the majority.Some of us don’t mind to spend 50 bucks, but some look for a cheap, second-hand adapter… We are different, our environment are different and for us the best Wi-Fi adapters are different as well.Īdapter with big external antennas usually are more sensitive and powerful (it is important) Some of us live among a lot of 5.0GHz ac APs, but in some regions 5.0GHz APs are absent. Sometimes we need to work covertly, and we need tiny Wi-Fi dongle, sometimes we work in “concrete jungle” and we need the most powerful and the most sensitive device with big antennas. Preliminary remarks (‘the best Kali Linux Wi-Fi adapter’)Īs it was said many times already, there are no ‘the best Wi-Fi adapter for wardriving’. Outdated adapters but 100% compatible with Kali Linux
