Thread: Cannot get AWUS036NH to work correctly. HELP

  1. #1

    Angry Cannot get AWUS036NH to work correctly. HELP

    First-- let me say I have done a good bit of reading on this already. I have read many (not very helpful) articles on compat wireless from 2012 or earlier that have not solved my issue for one reason or another. I realize that many people are using the AWUS036H or AWUS036NHA without issue.

    I have the gotten the card working in both a VM, and standalone when I boot to a live-usb. The card comes up, and it scans 20+ AP's which is great.... but I cannot associate with any of them. I can correctly set the card to monitor mode but if I do an aireplay-ng test

    Code:
    root@kali:~# aireplay-ng -9 wlan0
    05:02:40  Trying broadcast probe requests...
    05:02:42  No Answer...
    05:02:42  Found 20 APs
    
    05:02:42  Trying directed probe requests...
    05:02:42  00:00:00:00:00:00 - channel: 1 - 'AP1'
    05:02:48   0/30:   0%
    
    05:02:48  00:00:00:00:00:00 - channel: 1 - 'AP2'
    05:02:54   0/30:   0%
    
    05:02:54  00:00:00:00:00:00 - channel: 1 - 'AP3'
    05:03:00   0/30:   0%
    etc.... etc...

    I then tried to single out a specific AP and run an aireplay test against it..

    Code:
    root@kali:~# aireplay-ng -9 -a 00:00:00:00:00:00 wlan0
    05:11:48  Waiting for beacon frame (BSSID: 00:00:00:00:00:00) on channel 13
    05:11:51  wlan0 is on channel 13, but the AP uses channel 1
    root@kali:~# iwconfig wlan0 channel 1
    root@kali:~# aireplay-ng -9 -a 00:00:00:00:00:00wlan0
    05:12:18  Waiting for beacon frame (BSSID: 00:00:00:00:00:00) on channel 7
    05:12:25  wlan0 is on channel 7, but the AP uses channel 1
    Similarly, I cannot get reaver to associate and I am running out of ideas. Can someone please suggest something?


    Edit: Should I opt for a different card like the AWUS036NHA or AWUS036H?? Even my card is supposedly supported right out of the box, so I don't know why I'm having issues.

    i am having the same problem in the kali 2016. What I did is install the kali 2.0 instead apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade. The injection test works, there are times it doesn't. Reaver works but many times it struggles. At least it works, not like what I had in kali 2016.

    i use the NHA or a ralink chip panel antenna. sometimes they both give me those errors so i just unplug for like 5 seconds and reinsert it. tell you the truth, after mon0 was gone, always used iwconfig command, not airmon-ng start

    I had that issue with my AWUS051NH.

    When you run the "reaver" command next, try adding this to the command, -S -N -A

    That solved my association issue but i now have a different issue. When i run a reaver command i get this "WARNING: Receive timeout occurred"
