Review: UPDATE new drivers Work with OS 11, use edimax.us for downloads, not admix.com, easy install, easy to use, works better than OEM - Update; With the new driver for MAC, installation is easy and quick. The most important thing is to toss the CD and go to the correct website, ediman.us for drivers. Once the driver is installed and your MAC restarts, the edimax icon appears in the menu bar to the right of the airport icon. Just like the airport icon, click on the edimax icon, select your network from the dropdown and log in. On many MB Pros the airport card disappears. I'm using these to resolve the issue and recommending them to folks who ask. The directions are not very clear and the drivers on the CD provided are not up to date and are not labeled for each MAC OS. There is some help online and also tech support by email. After submitting my questions by email, I received a call within hours. The most important thing is to use the edimax.us site, not thee edimax.com sight!!! The drivers on the US site are labeled for each OS. 10.10 is the latest OS for which they have a driver, but 10.11 is promised soon. After the application is installed, open the wireless network utility, click on the "available networks" tab, select your network and log in. I downgraded this MacBook pro to 10.11 and it works. I tried on other MACs in earlier OSs and couldn't make it work. It worked smoothly after do a clean install of OS 10. My MB Pro is usable again. These are the instructions Edimax support sent me. Please try downloading the driver for 10.8 from our website at, "[...]". We have separated each OS driver for MAC. 1. Once you download the driver, there will be 2 packages inside. 2. Please run the "uninstaller package" first, then run the "installer package". 3. After you install the driver, please refer to the Edimax Wireless utility guide, to enable your Wi-Fi. The latest driver is available to download with the link below. Once you have the driver downloaded, there will be a file inside that you can run to uninstall the driver. [...] Once you have downloaded the latest driver file, Edimax.dmg, from our web site, please open that Edimax.dmg file. There are two packages inside, USBWireless-install.pkg and USBWireless-Uninstall.pkg. Run the USBWireless-Uninstall.pkg package first. Go through the installation process of it and it will need you restart your computer. After restart, check your \Applications folder. You should not see Edimax Wireless Utility nor any other wireless utility existed in \Applications folder. If you still see a Wireless Utility there, please move it to trash bin. Once you verify there is no Edimax Wireless Utility in \Applications folder, you can go ahead to run the USBWireless-install.pkg file. The installation is quite straight forward.
Review: works great - With my laptop's onboard network card, I was getting between 20Mbps and 30Mbps. Spectrum says I can get "Up To" 300Mbps. My router is an "ac1750" Dual Band. It says 450Mbps on 2.4GHz and 1300Mbps on the 5GHz side. What I Actually Get: (With this adapter) On the 2.4GHz side, I get 50Mbps. On the 5GHz side, I get 200Mbps Running across an Ethernet cable, I get 265Mbps. So, I am very happy with my purchase. I will probably buy another and ditch the cable all together. Although; That extra 50 to 60 Mbps I get running over the cable chops minutes off my download times. Decisions, Decisions; Yeah, I get another. NOTE: These are actual download speeds as seen from my computer's "Task Manager" Performance page. If you use an app like "OOKLA" or any other speed test done online, it will show you a speed about 25 to 50 Mbps faster than you will actually be getting. Just saying.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work with Raspberry Pi?**

You can either allow it to run from there or temporary change the Download Location to Anywhere and try again.Regardless of the OS(Operating System), make sure you have downloaded the "correct" driver for your OS, especially Mac users.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great build, good quality, great functionality. No problems. Highly recommended for Windows 10 users.
*by S***Y on April 29, 2017*

Purchasing this adapter was the culmination of experiencing terrible network issues after Windows 10 came about. The failures came very slowly and had a subtlety that made me overlook the issue. I didn't even realize it was actually the adapter I had (a TP-LINK TL-WN722N) was the problem, instead I blamed it on my ISP (Comcast). After some digging around, I found out the root issue was that Windows 10 was causing interfacing issues with USB network adapters. After searching for network adapters that were not only nominally compatible with Windows 10 but also from customer experience, I went with this Edimax. I've been very happy with it ever since. Installation was a breeze, although you have to use the driver software on their website instead of the one provided in the package on disc. That's important. I will update this review if I see problems with the adapter in the future.
