• Everytime you start macOS you need to connect to your WiFi manually by repeating step 7, 8 and 10
• If you don't use WiFi for about 15 minutes it will loose connection and you also need to repeat step 7, 8 and 10

// Step-by-step guide

1. Install the Ralink software via the DMG file
2. Put the RT2780USBWirelessDriver.Kext on your desktop
3. Open [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url].pkg
4. Install the kext to /System/Library/Extensions (*)
5. Install the Ralink Settings (DWA-140WirelessUtility)
6. Restart your Mac
7. Open your system preferences
8. Open the Ralink wireless settings

(*) Although it is not recommended to use the /System/Library/Extensions folder it does not seem to work if it is not in this folder. I tried both the /Library/Extensions and /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/ (Hackintosh) folders but without succes.
