Wi-Fi adaptor RE VIEWS
N600 (PAU09) Wi-Fi N USB
Nate Drake heads up to the roof to test whether Panda’s Wi-Fi adaptor offers the best range and performance for budding hackers.
IN BRIEF
The Panda N600 is compatible with a wide range of Linux distros and Wi-Fi networks. It can’t take advantage of 802.11ac or 802.11ax, but offers respectable speeds. It also works out of the box for penetration testing activities such as entering monitor mode and packet injection.
SPECS
Port: USB 2.0
Rated speed: 300Mb/s
Chipset: RT5572
Compatibility: All 802.11 ac/b/g/n networks
While there are many wireless adaptors on the market, not all of them support monitoring mode or packet injection, which is necessary if you want to carry out penetration tests on Wi-Fi networks.
