Cool you got it working.... but changing tx-power settings made no difference in the previous 5.1.5 driver (current tested with an ammeter) as you can see on the Github thread ... :(

I have passed this on to Github ... check out the developers thread here: https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au/issues/77

Hi dk89 ... it would appear this is quite a common problem with some hardware (including my own) ... I get terrible range from all drivers after 4.3.20.

Check out this page on github where we've...

Using an AC router must be making the difference ... quite a few of us with N routers are only seeing our own AP and having trouble connecting at 5m.

What your describing is how I would expect the...

Use the weekly build (4.14 kernel) from here and you won't get the unable to locate error: https://cdimage.kali.org/kali-images/kali-weekly/

40c! .... wow it's going to be about 4c here in Scotland tomorrow ... :o

Can you translate "two blocks" into metres? ... it sounds a long way?

Are you using this with an AC router?

Anybody know how many mw the 36ACH is at maximum? I can't seem to find the specification anywhere.

If it's 1000mw (1w) ... then 1w @5v = 200ma.

So the problem may be somewhere else ... it'll be...

I have ordered a short usb3 extension cable so that I can hack it and get an accurate current reading with a multimeter from the 36ACH when it's plugged into usb3 ports ... hopefully arrive in a...

No worries about the delayed responses ... I'm still getting moderated too and it's frustrating waiting for replies to get posted.

That was a good idea to try and test it with a dual power cable...

I'm not sure if the main guys that have been modding these drivers have noticed this ... on this page where a few of them are discussing it: ...

Your only seeing one AP because the available current on your usb3 port is being restricted to 200ma by the driver and the adapter range is severely handicapped,

As discussed in the other...

You'll have very poor range then ... I get this with all drivers (Kimocoders and others) after version 4.3.20 ... from 4.3.21 onwards the TX power control changing feature was added ... maybe with...

As a matter of interest ... when plugged into a usb3 port what does the lsusb -v command report as the MaxPower for you i64x?

Happy New Year by the way! ... :)

Another thing I just found:

When plugged into a usb3 port lsusb -v reports:

Just tried again with the latest weekly image (LXDE build if that makes any difference) and full update/upgrade apart from kernel which was 4.14.

Also installed headers, build-essentials and bc...

Aha! ... I am new to Kali ... didn't realise there was a weekly image ... wish I'd known that the other day ... :)

Interested in this too ... not a lot of detail available for backing up live usb with persistence.

Teejee Timeshift looks good ... but no detail as to whether it is suitable for live persistent...

One more point just sprung to mind after reading lots of posts here ...

It may be much easier to install drivers properly on a full hard drive installation than it is on a persistant live usb as...

Tried installing yesterday ... drivers install, monitor mode works but the adapter range is terrible ... funnily enough it improves if plugged into a usb2 port ???

Here's some more detail: ...

Just tried this at length yesterday on a usb install with persistence trying to upgrade from 4.13 to 4.15 kernel.

It looks as though you can update/upgrade anything on a persistent live usb ......

Hi i64x ... I'm not a regular Kali user, just ended up on this forum looking for more info on the AWUS036ACH performance in Linux.

I bought the adapter looking for a better wifi connection to an...
