Yeah, if you can find that program that would be great. When I got the Alfa I just plugged it in and it worked (but I did update the driver), the wifi icon in the bottom right only opens the windows connection manager. Maybe I got a clone Alfa?Quote:

In the ones I set up it would show all the local WIFI spots, and what local WIFI router connection your connected to with the IP address and other stuff, and it also give you a section where you could adjust the TX power, I wish I had one here to look at.
One other thing, what model Alpha did you get????
The Alfa is the......Alfa AWUS036NH 2000mW.Quote:

Ahhh..... Your missing the configuration program, did that one come with a little CD with the drivers and a second program on it????
OK if you cant find the utility for that on the CD, then go to the link below, select the "Indoor Wireless" in the "Product Category" section, then enter the "Secure Code" (use all caps) to download and select download, go to page #7 select the "AWUS036H" utility driver for windows 7.(you may need to run it in compatibility mode)
This should get you to a screen where you can see whats going on with the Alpha unit, and be able to configure it, or check the configuration.

Here is a YouTube video on the program that I use.

Yes on the CD, no on the program, only the drivers were on the CD, and the drivers were wrapped in a Ralink set-up program with a Ralink wlan. The only thing the Ralink wlan can do is see networks in the area and connect, no configuration abilities.Quote:

Sorry I havent been back to this, been fixing a fence.
All the Alphas I used had the Realtek driver and utility, but this was a while ago, they may have changed things, the Realtek utillity was a nice feature, you could do a lot of things with it.
That's strange, all the 2-watt Alfa's I could find use the Ralink 3070 driver, are you maybe using the 1-watt ?Quote:
