avin7000 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I was using EDUP N8531 which has Ralink 5370 chipset. I bought it some 6 months ago and now its started showing problems. There is a drop in signal strength and sometimes suddenly internet stops working. I mean it won't get disconnected, for couple of seconds like 40-50 secs, pages stop loading, youtube stops etc. So I am thinking to get a good quality dongle now. I do not have many options as I am not from USA. And from HCL list seems Asus N10 is a good choice. what other options I have? if any USB wifi supports Mac, then it will also work on Hackintosh? since it comes with drivers and all?

Allan Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 All these work in Mavericks: D-Link DWA-131 ($25) ASUS USB-N13 (A1) ($20) EDUP EP-N8508 ($10) 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/299554-suggest-me-a-usb-wifi-adapter/#findComment-2040981 Share on other sites More sharing options...
avin7000 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 All these work in Mavericks: D-Link DWA-131 ($25) ASUS USB-N13 (A1) ($20) EDUP EP-N8508 ($10) EDUP one is not available, however both Asus and D-Link one are. May I know why Asus N13 over Asus N10? and also, if USB wifi officially supports Mac, comes with drives then will it also work in Hackintosh also?

Allan Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Nothing yet. Yosemite is beta, and still has devices that do not fully support. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/299554-suggest-me-a-usb-wifi-adapter/#findComment-2041515 Share on other sites More sharing options...
avin7000 Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 Is it possible to make sure what I buy would support yosemite also? and also, if USB wifi officially supports Mac, comes with drives then will it also work in Hackintosh also?

Allan Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 As I told you, the Yosemite is still beta, does not give you certainty. And if it works on a Mac, will work on Hackintosh. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/299554-suggest-me-a-usb-wifi-adapter/#findComment-2041707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
avin7000 Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 And if it works on a Mac, will work on Hackintosh.Thank you, this is what I was looking for one last question, which is the go-to USB adapter Or which one has good better community (so that I am assured that community will help me to get it use on yosemite or future versions) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/299554-suggest-me-a-usb-wifi-adapter/#findComment-2041713 Share on other sites More sharing options...

avin7000 Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 Sorry, if I was not clear. What I meant is, which is most famous USB adapter in hackintosh communities. If many people are using it, then someone from community will provide kexts if manufacturer doesn't. Hope I was clear. I am not a native english speaker.

Allan Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 If you buy one that works at least in the Mavericks have more sure it will work in Yosemite. Is always available new kexts. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/299554-suggest-me-a-usb-wifi-adapter/#findComment-2041804 Share on other sites More sharing options...
