Netgear Powerline Utility for Mac OS not working in Mavericks
I recently performed a clean install of OS X Mavericks (10.9) on my Mac and re-installed the Netgear Powerline Utility (v. 3.1.0.3) for Mac. Unfortunately, the utility it is unable to see my XAVB5001...
Yes, of course, that's the subject of this thread, how people are trying to work around the software which no longer works on the Mac OS versions released over the past couple of years. This article is kind of useless because it says is this your problem, then goes on to say sorry there's no driver and this software is just optional. So, that's super, but if only optional, where's the other ways to do this?
I've been using powerlines for a long time, and they worked fine. It wasn't until I reset the thing for a new internet provider that this whole disaster happened. They work fine, the carry the signal, I just can't secure them, and if you read this thread or look through the forums, there are a lot of people in the same boat with no response from Netgear. I've bee attempting the fix listed here by others because literally every post on the subject including the dozens outside this forum, all point here.
What are the mysterious other *options* for securing the network, if not by using the software intended for the device? Why is Netgear not fixing this bug?
