Device fails to detect weak high-gain WiFi signals.
I am trying to find the low dBi SSID's on my Windows Desktop which my Kali Linux is seeming to pick up, even with low dBi, Kali is able to still find it (as the picture shows below). But for some reason my Windows isn't picking up the low dBi Signals like I am in Kali Linux, I know Windows has some sort of control over that, but I don't know what exactly, would there be a way to disable the way Windows Controls the way of finding/searching for SSID's? I'm using 2 different network cards by ALFA, The AWUS036ACH and the AWUS036NHA, both are plugged into my USB 3.0 slots on the front, both using a 5dBi Antenna. And if it can't be disabled, Any recommended programs for that sorta thing? I know the ACH has the Realtek USB LAN Utility tool (which doesn't help much) but.
Kali Linux is a tailored version of Linux built for network analysis and security testing. Windows identifies it, but the network drivers overlook it since the signal is too faint. When using tools like Ekahau HeatMapper, you can observe stronger wireless signals than in the Windows network settings. Try manually selecting a Wi-Fi network or use another wireless manager. If you attempt it, results are uncertain, but you can install Kali Linux via Windows Subsystem for Linux.
