Do I need a compatible Wi-Fi card to perform active surveys?

No.   On Windows, virtually any modern wireless adapter with the latest drivers supplied by the adapter vendor will work. 

 

On macOS, no specific adapter is required; the application will work with the built-in adapter of your MacBook.

 

The adapter capabilities should match or exceed the standards of the network that you survey.  For example, there is no sense in using 802.11n adapters for active surveys in 802.11ac or ax networks unless your specific task is to check your network's performance with legacy client devices. 

However, active surveys give you only a small part of the WLAN picture. To get comprehensive information, passive surveys are mandatory. A compatible adapter is required for passive surveys.
