Question 1

which side should be facing the wireless devices? The Alfa logo can only face the back of the modem/router, toward the wall.

Accepted Answer

Hi,
The side with the "Alfa" logo is the one to point toward the station.

Question 2

Should the "alfa" logo face the front or back of router? how do i do this asus rt-ac68w since this turns only 180 degrees?

Accepted Answer

If you point the logo away from the router your upload speeds will drop, In my case on the 5g line it  dropped to zero, I still have plenty of download, but you need upload too

Question 3

Will this product work with a wireless ac chip on a pc motherboard?

Accepted Answer

This product is an antenna to replace an existing antenna on a device.  If the device that you are installing this antenna on works with wireless ac, then it should continue to work with this antenna.

Question 4

can i know if working withe adapter model : awus036h ? and working withe windows 1o ? and how long meter can get the signal ?

Accepted Answer

Hi there,

#1: Yes it does as long as there is an SMA adaptor, all ALFA's are the same.
#2: Yes it does work with Windows 10
#3 it varies depending on the surroundings  as well as the driver version you use. I would say rough average   50 meters in clear sight outside no interferences.
Take a look at the below table with the original antenae:
