I bought the A6200 from MacMall thinking--go figure--that it supports OSX. Turns out I was wrong. Should I return it or is OSX support imminent?

Router does not limits by the o/s so will work fine. Usually any supplement application the issues but genie makes for Mac so there will not issues

When I plug it in to a USB port, nothing happens -- it does not show up as a network adapter. It's as if nothing was plugged in. I presume that the A6200 needs an OSX driver to function.Anyway, I'm returning mine.

It's end user setup issues...http://netgear.com/landing/en-us/readyshare.aspx

This is extremely unfortunate. Having acquired the A6200 USB for my MacbookPro it appears I need now to attempt to test it in my VirtualMachine Windows 7 guest!

On top of a failure of my year old GS108T Intelligent switch and continued design failures of various rebadged (Netgear Cable DOCSIS Gateways)SuperHubs VMDG480/485 I'm becoming increasingly unimpressed with Netgear products!

I really can't wait to test the latest VMDG490 802.11ac gateway/router from this supplier!
I clearly owe my ISP an apology for blaming them specifically for lack of quality when clearly the only mistake they made was selecting Netgear as their sole supplier!

And of course I can't test the latest 802.11ac Gateway Router component fully until I fix this unexpected A6200 USB adapter issue!

Catch22.....
