Alfa AWUS036NHR 2000mW Long Range USB Adapter

Introducing Alfa AWUS036NHR, the long awaited successor to Alfa's popular AWUS036NH 802.11n wireless USB adapter. AWUS036NHR utilizes a new 802.11n chipset from Realtek (RTL8188RU) and features markedly improved receive sensitivity compared to its predecessor. If you have been holding out on upgrading your 802.11g standard Wi-Fi adapter, now is the time to end the holdout. Alfa's AWUS036NHR combines the fast speed of 802.11n with long range reception for both 802.11g and 802.11n standards. This includes a special mount holder with suction cup and clip attachment, for easy mounting on a window or the back of your laptop or netbook's LCD.

Compatibility: Windows XP, Vista 32/64, Windows 7 32/64 (at this time we cannot confirm compatibility with, or provide support for Mac OS or Linux OS)

If your built-in Wi-Fi adapter is not getting it done any more, the improved 802.11n and 802.11g receive sensitivity of AWUS036NHR will allow you to connect from greater distances and get stronger signals to Wi-Fi networks around you. With maximum speeds of 150 mbps to 802.11n routers, AWUS036NHR is also a perfect solution for video streaming, large downloads, and online gaming. Windows 7 users can easily turn AWUS036NHR into a simultaneous access point using Connectify, a free program (AWUS036NHR is also compatible with Windows XP and Windows Vista, but Connectify requires Windows 7).

Why AWUS036NHR instead of an 802.11n product off the store shelf? Most 802.11n products were designed to get good receive sensitivity and long ranges to 802.11n routers set to a special mode called "N-only" mode which blocks backward compatibility with 802.11g devices. They are backward compatible with 802.11g equipment but get only basic receive sensitivity to G networks. Many people who have upgraded their home routers to 802.11n are not able to set the router to N-only mode as this would block connectivity for G-only devices like iPhones, Android phones, and many DVRs. AWUS036NHR is one of the first Wi-Fi adapters to get very good receive sensitivity to both 802.11n-only, 802.11n/g mixed, and 802.11g networks. Just check out this video comparing the signal strength of AWUS036NHR to Alfa's AWUS036NH.
