teddybearapple Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I think most of tbe wifi cards that support mac can work. I dont use the Nano usb wifi any but I think the best is to take the laptop to a nearby shop and test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frpram Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I think the producer have wrote the operating system compatibility in every WiFi adapter package/box Maybe D-Link DWA-131 support, or TP-Link WN725N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nawcom Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 What is with you guys suggesting a USB wifi adapter? Your wireless card is replaceable; it's removable from a panel on the back of your laptop model according to what I found. And that's actually good, as some laptops require you remove more than just a back panel in order to access it. MSI also doesn't use a whitelist to limit your wifi card choices in the laptop's BIOS/EFI, so you won't have any restrictions with third party wifi cards, unlike HP laptops for example. Buy a supported one from eBay. Here's a list of supported cards: http://forum.osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2120-supportedunsupported-wireless-cards-inventory/ Ignore the fact that it's a forum for Dell laptops as it doesn't matter in this case. USB wifi adapters require annoying third party wireless client software and you get some crappy performance in most cases with some disappointing support provided by the vendor. Use an Airport-compatible card listed from the above link and you'll be able to use the native Airport client software without a problem, or in worst cases, a few DSDT edits may be needed. Also you won't have an ugly nub sticking out of your laptop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SummerRain Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Search for AW-CB160H. It's using the BCM4360 chipset which is the same as the one using in real Mac. You get native support with that card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
