Pros & Cons
Pros
Reasonable quality. Somewhat cumbersome and easy to knock over (fix it down) overall, this product has a more than optimal price for its quality.

Wi-fi adapter is much faster than the internal dell receiver. Over 60megs broadband, with a fastest of 67megs. Much faster wifi speeds with this.
Cons
Took me 2 hours to install on newer linux kernel as drivers are not working very well. Constantly disconnects and causes my pc with 32gb ram and 16gb gpu to a potato when it crashes and i remove it.
Highlights
Quality
Worked striaght away without issues and would recommend to others looking for a strong wireless adapter with great features.
Excellent design and performance on both 2.
I was able to deauth an 800mb/s wifi connection, and it’s very small for how much power it has.
I know the signal bars are just arbitrary indicators and not a scientific measurement, 2-3 bars becomes 5 bars.
Price
Also it’s super cheap for how good it is.
Probably the best on the market for the price.
Shipping
Ordered for next day delivery - arrived next day.
Packaging/appearance
Thought my awus051nh v2 had packed up, but it hadn't.
Though the packaging lists support for linux, it was very far away from a plug-and-play experience.

Wish it was plug n play but the drivers are easy to find if you just search the product name and go to the download page on the alfa website for it

Installing it for kali can be a pain as it doesnt really support it you have to get the drivers yourself and install it properly and that can cause a lot of issues
