You can also tell airodump, to capture on all channels, without the hopping issues, by chaining multiple channels so it knows to define and look at each one, vs the normal erratic hopping it does, or, load more than one terminal and a session for more than one channel, which I often do, to monitor say channel 1, 6 and 11 individually, the most commonly used 2.4ghz channels. You should see some beacons and hopefully probes for devices looking for AP's near them. While in monitor mode, open wireshark, and look to see what its capturing from mon0. Mon0 IEEE 802.11bgn Mode:Monitor Frequency:2.412 GHz Tx-Power=20 dBmYour card appears to only be looking for 2.4ghz channels, and while N can run on both 2.4 and 5ghz, most likely there isn't anything on the 2.4 side near you, or you may not have something setup properly.ġ - As cooper mentioned, are you capturing on a channel that has clientsĢ - are there clients on any of the devices using 802.11 A, B or G?ģ - if only your device is in range, and you are only monitoring it, with no clients, and correct channel selected, do you at least see your AP show up?Ĥ - Is your AP talking on the 802.11 A, B and G channels or N only? If any specifics about the setup are needed, just tell me. If pictures would be helpful, I can post those. Neither showed any evidence of the multiple networks in the same room. It only collected information originating from the Alfa that should be on mon0.

A minute later I receive one Base Station result with no SSID.Īirodump started collecting frames, but then I realized the MAC address the Alfa's Mac address. I start airodump on mon0 and airodump starts cycling through channels.

I have stopped one at a time and then all three without any difference in the problem. Airmon-ng does list three running processes as possible issues. Starting airmon-ng on wlan0 returns monitor mode on mon0. I connect the Alfa to the virtual machine and it appears in lsusb and I can see it with Airmon-ng as wlan0. (A Linksys, an Arris, and Netgear routers) I installed Kali in a VirtualBox virtual machine and have tried using the Alfa on a few test networks. I received my alfa AWUS036NEH from Hakshop about a week ago. I could just be forgetting a step, but I haven't found an answer through any other questions
