These adapters offer the full feature set of AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer and are considered to be preferred adapters, with the following exception:
Because USB 3.0 signaling is known to cause interference in the 2.4GHz band, users are prompted to select the desired mode of operation when launching the WiFi Analyzer application: USB 2.0 or USB 3.0.
At product launch with a single preferred 802.11ac adapter, you will be prompted to select from the following options:
When more than one preferred 802.11ac adapter is used, the USB 2.0 option is required. This may limit the total throughput of the adapters. When launching in multi-adapter mode with more than one 802.11ac USB adapter, USB 2.0 is assumed for all adapters.
