    I just received mine, was actually nervous ordering because of this problem, im checking now to verify.
    Edit: Opened it up and it was Genuine. Also had genuine driver disk not a sketchy one like in this video.

    Well I obviously have a fake one... which didn't stop it hack 6-7 networks. Ok, its not as fast for browsing through it, using it instead of a WiFi card, but it discovers hell a lot ot networks.

    It amazes me that they copy such a cheap product.it seems pointless. But they do. As a side point. I take medication for health issues and when I get some, they taste odd and I have side effects or I feel ill. I've discussed it with the chemist and I really believe that I get fake ones. Always be suspicious.

    sir in india alfa adaptor are above 50 to 60 dollars in Amazon.....but in aliexpress just 7 dollars. that means aliexpress is selling fake things

      Actually no. It likely means that the items are identical reproductions. Not substandard chips. And, also, he's comparing a 1W card to a 2W card. There's going to be a 2:1 difference. It seems that he may not be accounting for that

    Hi Andrew. As with all your videos this is very informative also. Thank you. Did you find a reliable source for alfa cards and what is your opinion about their new cards like AWUS051NH v2 , AWUS052NHS, AWUS052NH etc. Did you test them? Also could you please tell me how I can contact you to buy a Biquad Yogi Antenna ( If they are available)?

    In my country these fakes are widely selling in eBay. So we steer clear from such listings.

      Amazon not sure... Only prime or fulfilled sellers are worth it. You can return and get refund easily.
      Non verified sellers are a no go. Too many scammers.
