I Am learning ethical hacking & need to buy a wireless adaptor for Kali linux
Am following this .. Learn Ethical Hacking From Scratch | Udemy

This is the part he mentions about a wireless adaptor..
Wireless Adapters – zSecurity

Thinking of buying this one (supports both 2.5GHZ & 5GHZ) Alfa AWUS036ACH 2.4 & 5 Ghz USB Wireless Adapter – zSecurity

I emailed him & they said it would take 25-30 days for the adaptor to come..
So I was wondering if i could buy from here, even though it's a expensive by 1.3K, which is better than waiting time, is it reliable?...

*www.amazon.in/Alfa-AWUS036ACH-Wireless-Wi-Fi-Adapter/dp/B00VEEBOPG

Or is there any reliable cheaper substitute, should support monitor mode, packet injection etc.

I think for a long term & serious use, Alfa-AWUS036ACH which supports both 2.5GHZ & 5GHZ will be better, right?

Most important thing to look for is availability of linux drivers & whether they are compatible with the version of kali linux you are going to use.

@anarchy0x - if you are open to buy from aliexpress then you can get one under 1.2k :

Anyone knows any shop in Lamington Road where I may get such wireless adaptors? Like the one mentioned above by topgear?
I have been to some shops here in Mumbai, but not in Lamington, only TP Link 725N & TL-WN823N are available & unfortunately, both don't meet my requirements : (

I think it would be difficult anywhere in India as major sellers usually keep stock of only tplink/dlink/netgear. Better go with aliexpress option as it is a small value item so very less chances of customs issue.
