Review on Wi-Fi adapter Alfa Network AWUS036NHA, black by Stanislaw Jastrzebsk ᠌

I write in detail, I think my experience will be useful to posterity. For some reason, my windows 8.1 didn’t pick up the adapter on the fly. Why this happened and why it all worked out in the end, I still do not understand. Presumably, my system had a ban on windows ates and the installer simply could not find the right driver. At first I did not know this, so I ran into the problem of finding drivers. There is a driver CD in the adapter box. Since there is nowhere to put it stupidly in my laptop, I went to the manufacturer's website (the seller advised me this) and downloaded the native drivers from there (for older versions of Windows, seven inclusive), I suspect that they are the same as on the disk. Attention! Do not do the same on the eight! These drivers are guaranteed to lead to a blue screen that Windows 8, that Windows 8.1, has been tested repeatedly and confirmed in foreign forums. After much torment and rollbacks of the laptop (Toshiba Portege Z930) to the factory state with zero eight, searching and installing alternative drivers from the Internet, I spat on the adapter and simply began to restore the system. I decided not to upgrade to 8.1, I just downloaded all the ates and began to install the programs I needed. In the morning I decided to finally try to connect Alpha again. I went into the device manager, turned off the laptop's native adapter and - voila - after three seconds the Wi-Fi on the laptop reappeared, but through the Alfa Network AWUS036NHA. It catches well, instead of 7 nets I caught 15 pieces. What and how it affected - I can not say for sure. Apparently the whole thing is Windows ates, I have no other assumptions. PS: so far everything works on win 8, I'm afraid to upgrade to 8.1. PPS: downloaded the My WiFi Router program (or any analogue that you run) - allows you not only to receive Wi-Fi with Alpha, but also distribute it - come in handy if you go to a hotel where the Internet is only at the reception, and everyone needs the Internet in the room.
