If your are sharing a single wireless router with your neighbour or relatives or brothers and sister, but their house is few house away from your house, this is the best choice with ALFA AWU036NEH USB Wireless Adapter Wi-Fi long range signal and the antenna is can be upgrade to 20 dBI from its original 5 dBI antenna which is powerful enough. ALFA 802.11b/g/n Wireless USB Adapter drivers are tiny programs that enable your Wireless USB Adapter hardware to communicate with your operating system software. Maintaining updated ALFA 802.11b/g/n Wireless USB Adapter software prevents crashes and maximizes hardware and system performance.
I forgot to mention you can buy an ALFA R36 to use with the RTL8187L to make it compatible with Mac 10.8+, Windows 8, 7, XP as it uses a localhost based interface through ethernet or WLAN. It might be out of the price of most people. About $55.00 USD But remember that the RTL8187L is very slow compared to the AR9271 or RTL8188RU. I currently have my ALFA R36 connected to my AWUS036NHR with good speeds 🙂 This post (not the entire thread) explains that you can also setup a VM to get your RTL8187L to work also. Better zip 1.8.3 mac serial.
To all people: I received my Alfa AWUS036H yesterday and I was sad that mac os x 10.8.3 (a so to windows 8 in parallels) didn't work with it. In windows 7 at the same parallels, no problem despite monitor software was not able to be installed, but signal of wifi increased a lot. Today I downloaded () a new drive and monitor (beta, may not work to someone). In a forum (), they ask to delete former drive/monitor and install the new one. External harddrive for mac. At mediatek site, they are confuse (maybe translation troubles), but you have USB RT 3x7x ( Alfa AWUS036H uses RT 3070 chip) drive. After click in this option, they ask your name and e-mail to start download. I installed the software and re-started mac.

In Applications, there was a new folder - Ralink wireless utility. Clicking on WirelessUtility, a new icon appeared at top bar. So, then you click and select open wireless utility. Then, you conect usb with Alfa AWUS036H. Worked, monitor showed a increased wifi signal. Then, you can create one profile, save password, etc. @ JTKDSP ( Alfa AWUS036H uses RT 3070 chip) The Alfa AWUSO36H has an RTL8187L Chipset and NOT a RT3070 chipset The RTL8187L is made by Realtek, the RT3070 by Ralink If your Alfa AWUS036H has a RT3070 chipset, it's a knock off.
