A6210 OSX Mac Support
Ah.... Grab the MT7610U driver for OSX http://www.mediatek.com/en/downloads1/downloads/ Run the installer, however the installer is very broken. Have a finder window open, browse to / The ...
mmomega - thanks for the heads up on the Mediatek driver. Is your adapter still working fine? Do you think the same driver would work with the A6200 USB 2.0 version of the adapter, too?
The adapter was working fine up until I swapped out desktops about a week and a half ago. I now have a Mac Pro and the antennas in that transmit and receive signal better than the USB adapter did on the Mac Mini so I never tried installing it on the MP.
From what I can tell the A6200 uses a Broadcom BCM43526 chipset. At least in v1.
I also read there may be a v2 out in the wild and that it could be based on the Realtek RTL8812AU chipset.
I would start with a google search with that chipset as part of the search criteria and see what comes up.
Something like "RTL8812AU driver mac" or "BCM43526 driver mac"
This is how I stumbled across the drivers for the A6210.
It just sometimes baffles me knowing that there are legitimate drivers out there to fix issues for people but companies don't make it known or easily accessible.
Hope any of this helps.
Thanks again, mmomega, for the useful info. Still debating whether I should gamble on the A6200 or just wait until my current 2011 Mac MIni dies and I buy a new Apple with wireless AC already built in.
