Alfa just came out with a new 2000mW WiFi adapter, the AWUS036NH, that also supports N. Why are you not using that unit?
We have extensively tested this new unit by Alfa, but have found that it does not have the same range as the unit we are currently using in The Wirie for b/g networks. More info… We were happy to see Alfa produce a high power WiFi adapter that included support for the N protocol. However, after testing this unit to determine if it performed as well on b/g networks as the WiFi adapter we currently use, the answer was no. Although the manufacturer specifies the performance to be equal or greater to that of the AWUS036H, in our testing on b/g networks, we have not found this to be the case. The receive sensitivity of the new unit was less than that of our current unit, and in field testing, there were some remote access points that were useable with the current adapter, but not with the new, AWUS036NH adapter. For this reason, in order to continue to sell only the best long range equipment available, The Wirie will continue to be manufactured with the AWUS036H adapter. We hope to be abl
