Supported WiFi hardware:

In theory wfb-ng can support any wifi hardware that supports packet injection and monitor modes. But injection quality in different drivers are very different. So now we officially support only cards on Realtek RTL8812au chipset. Please note that 8811*, 8812bu, 8812cu or 8814au are different cards and not supported by author. They may work but it at your own risk.

RTL8812au Requires external patched driver!. System was tested with ALPHA AWUS036ACH on both sides in 5GHz mode.

Not supported, but may works:

The following Atheros chipsets should work (not used by author):

  • Atheros AR9271, Atheros AR9280, Atheros AR9287. They requires patched firmware for injection support.
  • Ralink RT28xx family. Cheap, but doesn't produced anymore. System was tested with ALPHA AWUS051NH v2 as TX and array of RT5572 OEM cards as RX in 5GHz mode. Ralink packet injection is broken in latest 5.x kernels (injection became too slow and eats 100% cpu)
