Would you recommend this product for accessing wifi your aircard picks up, but can't connect to? (OS X 10.9.4 late 2011 MacBook Pro w/ 16GB RAM) THX!!

Hi Nicholas, our Mac was the device most distant from our AP. The air card had a difficult time with consistent connectivity and also slow speed. The Bear Extender eliminated those problems.

This is not for a stronger signal but the band or type of wifi. If you computer does not get N. The regular bear is for a weak signal. Works on OS X.

Not sure if I understand your question. I've installed it on a late 2009 mac mini running Mavericks that had a dead wifi card. The Product works great it, the software is easy to install and the card is a lot faster than the original card most macs come with. I'm actually thinking about buying one for my late 2012 iMac. Overall the I am very happy with the Bear Extender Turbo. (Size wise its smaller than a magic mouse and their customer service is very responsive)

It paired with my MacBook Pro so well, I bought a second for my vacation home.......Also paired with my IPAD. Cannot connect to two sources at same time as far as I can tell.

~ You need to get the mac G5 airport / bluetooth (mount) runaway card. Follow the links below to see pics of what I mean. Keep in mind the little airport (the gray card) is in different configurations like this &gt; Bluetooth & wifi -or- wifi only -or- bluetooth only. I would advise to get the Bluetooth and wifi combo. But none of these are going to work with out the "runaway" mounting card (the blue card). That is what allows the "airport" to work. So in other works you will need a ( 2 ) card combination to get you computer on the internet, bluetooth / both. check out the links I have sent you to see what you will need. ~ Keep in mind these are hard to find. When I started looking for them it took me a month to find them. And I accidental bought the gray bluetooth card, not knowing there were different versions at that time. On the grey card look for the ones that advertise both the bluetooth & wifi symbol. Were I currently have a bluetooth card to a G5 I will probably never use. If you have any more questions, just contact me back. As I know where to find certain other things you "might" need for this computer on down the road. My G5 is the main computer that I am using.

My iPad doesn't have a standard USB port, so this adapter will not work on mine. I purchased it specifically for my MacBook Air, that doesn't have an ethernet port, for those times when my thunderbolt port is in use for my larger secondary monitor.

It works fine on new Macs. It is nostalgic to plug the phone line into a modem. Many apologies for previously stating that incorrectly previously. It was not intentional.

I have a MacBook Air. I've had no problems with it connecting to the keypad. I know the original batteries were just about useless. Make sure your batteries are good. Otherwise, my Mac syncs fine and maintains the connection.

I just installed it on a white MacBook running 10.8. Edimax has drivers for all modern Mac OS versions including 10.9. I was able to connect to my home wireless which uses WPA2-AES. You don't use the regular drop-down to control like you would with the built in WiFi (Airport) card. Edimax supplies a program called Wireless Network Utility. Works fine but not as snazzy as the built in methods. I downloaded the software from here: http://www.edimax.us/html/english/frames/b-download.htm

I use it with my Mac mini, with the wifi turned off so I can take advantage of my Wireless AC router network. It works great.

I have not had the problem at all and I have used my new MBA extensively (several hours every day) on wifi for about 6 weeks. I believe it was fixed by a software update from Apple.

Could you please let me know if this worked out for you?I am considering the same solution to tunnel all my internet traffic through VPN:one VPN-router between the router of my Internet Service Provider and the Apple Airport.It would be nice to know if you could let me know if you got your connection working!

It's confusing, however, as this AC # is MA518LL/A whereas the Apple Store gives it as MB591LL/A !At least one person was successful with this and the 2G (Cesar Aias). I hope that's the case for everybody...and wasn't just an exception made! I may call Apple and/or Amazon for additional confirmation. I suppose Apple would be the smarter bet. Would hate to buy it and then discover it didn't work... Cesar Aiias, what went wrong with your 2G and what did Apple fix? Did you get the AC honored direct with Apple or at an Apple Store?

I use it with both my iMac and MacBook Air (both bought this year). Had to download the driver software but no issues.

Go to the Apple symbol in upper left and click on "about this Mac" and scroll to the Hardware feature to see if you have the following cards on the motherboard: Airport Extreme for WiFi and an Eternet Card. If not that is your problem, probably.

I'm using it with a Mac air running Mac OS X it works fine. Hope this helps

Funny you say it doesn't work with OSX 10.6X because in Mac-Rumors I have asked about this device and there are several mac users running the DNS-323.

I'm not sure what you're trying to connect exactly. .. if the device is a newer Apple model, and it has a mini DisplayPort with a little lightening bolt beside it, then you have a thunderbolt port and you can use this adapter.The thunderbolt connection shouldn't slow down the network connection. The potential data throughput(speed) is much higher than any residential network setup. If you have a gigabit network, the adapter should be able to handle it without breaking a sweat.
