I have been using the Alfa AWUS036H USB adapter which is a great USB adapter to use with Backtrack 5, but as the name suggest it lacks N support. So I ordered the new Alfa AWUSO36NH USB Wireless G / N WiFi Adapter
I did this review using Windows 7, VMware and Backtrack 5. I was very impressed by the Alfa AWUSO36NH.
When I went into monitor mode with an airmon-ng command it came up with no errors to mon0. The thing that really impressed me though was when I ran a Deauth command against my own router. It kicked the wireless connection almost immediately. My old card the Alfa AWUS036H would have taken multiple tries and sometimes failed all together to kick a routers wireless connection.
I really like this adapter and think it is my new favorite USB adapter to use with Backtrack. I still have some playing around to do but I would definitely recommend the Alfa AWUSO36NH USB adapter

thanks for the info on the Backtrack adapter. I’ve been wondering which one to get.
Very helpful post man thanks.
I ordered one today
So this adapter will still work with a G network?
Wireless N is backward compatible, so yes it will work with a wireless G network.
I bought this adapter and after having some problems with the Linux commands, I am up and running. This card works great once the learning curve of the commands is done.
Are you stating that this adapter is perfectly compatible with BackTrack 5 R2?
I did this review using Backtrack R1 but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work with Backtrack R2. I am sure it will.
Also, has anyone tried or does anyone know if the AWUS036NHR is compatible with BackTrack 5 R2?
The Alfa AWUS036NHR is not currently supported by Backtrack. You can install the driver’s yourself though. It uses the rtl8188 chipset. The best card is the Alfa AWUS036H or the Alfa AWUS036NH like the one in this post.
I bought this adapter and have not been disappointed.
Is it Reaver and Backtrack R2 compatible? Thanks.
Yes they are compatible. Reaver is built into Backtrack 5 R2.
Does this awus036NH support backtrack 5, 5r1 and 5r2?? Because i havent download 5r1 or 5r2. Please help.
The alfa AWUS036NH works with all the Backtrack 5 versions.
is not working with alfa AWUS051NH ???
Thanks for the review man. I bought this adapter and it is great with Windows or Backtrack/Linux. I am not disappointed.

why back track doesn’t work on built in wireless adapter
The chipset has to be able to do packet injections. Most do not.
I have this adapter and it works great with Backtrack. My qeustoin is does it also work good with Kali Linux?
