See Also" for details) You are also be informed that there are some high power and long range wifi adaptors in the market.Alfa Network produces some high power and long range wifi adaptors, such as Alfa AWUS036H and Alfa AWUS036NHR. They can connect to the vicitm's wifi router in the distance of 1KM+ away.
