The installation process on Kali is by far the most simple, but it's critical to update and upgrade your system before doing so. Thanks to popular demand, Kali Linux has included the RealTek drivers needed to control many 5 GHz adapters.

The Alfa Wireless AWUS036ACS is a dual-band network adapter that offers both 2.4 and 5 GHz reception in a single feed line, and it can be combined with a long-range directional antenna like the Simple Wi-Fi 2.4/5 GHz Yagi antenna. To get started hacking 5 GHz networks, we'll need a network adapter with the proper chipset.

That makes it challenging to pack too many devices on to the same network, primarily because most IoT Wi-Fi devices operate on 2.4 GHz only. As you can see in the picture above, devices on channels one and two would interfere with each other and share a lot of space on the radio spectrum.
