Review on ๐Ÿ“ถ High-performance Alfa AWUS036NHA Wireless USB Adaptor with Long Range and Atheros Chipset - Windows Compatible by Marquez Hinshaw

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for Linux compatibility

Only works with Linux 4.8.0 / Ubuntu 16.10, no installation, no problems almost 24/7 days of use. ath9k is a good choice, and the manufacturer who states what chipset they actually used deserves support! However, the blue LED is too bright. The installed region appears to be GB as other reviews say.
