Review: Alfa AWUS036ACH USB Adapter Type-C Version
Alfa has released two new Wireless USB Adapter one being an updated version of the Alfa AWUS036ACH.
The old version of the Alfa AWUS036ACH used a USB 3.0 Micro-B connection which while fast has not been used by many hardware manufactures in laptops, desktops, or smartphone.
Type-C USB is widely used on new devices and the replacement for the older standard USB ports.
The new Type-C USB is also backward compatible with older standard USB ports with a small adapter.
*This unit was sent to me to review with my honest opinion and results below.
