Hello everybody,
currently, my Alfa AWUS036NHR is not quite doing what I want it to do. While I can perfectly scan for APs and also can connect, strings like wash are not working. Moreover, while I try to reaver, I'm always getting a 'failed to associate'. Regardless of the configuration of the rouger. Somehow, the problem seems to be on my end, not on the router's.
But first, here are some information:
