Hi, I’m a student and I’m just entering the huge world of cybersecurity. At the moment I have a Lenovo Ideapad laptop, and it works decently. Looking at different penetration testing tutorials I see that many recommend to buy a network adapter, so you can have the possibility to use the network card in monitor mode or do packet injection. The laptop’s network adapter can get into monitor mode (unfortunately I have to reboot the computer to get it back into managed mode), but I haven’t tried if it supports packet injection yet. Would you advise me to buy a network adapter, obviously not a very powerful one (at least for now), although it can already do several things? Thanks in advance
I am very satisfied with my Alfa network adapter Model: AWUS036NHA.

For beginners, a good network adapter to start with would be the TP-Link TL-WN725N 150Mbps Wireless N Nano USB Adapter. It is affordable, compact, and easy to install. This adapter provides fast and stable wireless connections, making it a great option for basic internet usage and online activities such as browsing and streaming.
