PineAppleApe Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) Both tp-link and D-Link USB Wifi dongles mentioned in the title seem to have one name in common: Realtek. This shows in System Profiler. Put in your dongle in a USB socket of your computer. Open System Profiler via clicking on the Apple logo top left of your screen. Choose 'About This Mac' then click on the 'More info ...' button. Look for USB in the Hardware section of the contents column. (This will show even without any driver already installed.) In my case the product and vendor ID's are as follows: DWA-131 product ID = 3319 vendor ID = 2001 TL-WN823N product ID = 8178 vendor ID = 0BDA Driver and Wifi app location: https://www.tp-link.com/nl-be/support/download/tl-wn823n/#Driver. The system I have is Snow Leopard 10.6.7. The hardware I use is a X7DWT server motherboard with two Xeon CPU's (E5440). The driver I used is TL-WN823N_EU_US_V2_V3_170913_Mac. The site provides drivers for other macOS's also. Both TL-WN823N and DWA-131 work with this driver. Do NOT RESTART immediately after the driver installation is completed. Run Kext Utility first. You can search for the Kext Utility via this link: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=kext-utility+cVad&ia=web or pick it up further below. At the moment this is still in experimental phase. The tp-link site also says the driver is not official yet. Kext Utility.app.zip Edited December 25, 2020 by PineAppleApe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
