The “36H” and “36NH” adapters are virtually identical, sans the NH’s ability to use the 802.11n band, as well as 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g.
The only down side is its lack of a 5 GHz radio, but we’ll look beyond that for right now. This adapter has been a long-time favorite of Kali users given its small size, simple setup (drivers are already built in, just plug and go), excellent range, and cheap price. If you don’t need to poke and prod in the 5 GHz band, the Alfa AWUS036H (and NH) USB Wi-Fi adapter is one of the best options you have for wireless pen-testing with Kali Linux.
