a7000 and Mac OS Mojave
Has there been any timeline on a new driver to support Mojave and Catalina - 1.0.0.9 doesn not work.
I saw in another pot that it was slated for 1Q 2020 - but I don't see anything am I missing it? Is there a workaround?
Thx
Lenny
Hi, All,
Please be informed that we already released A7000 driver that supports MacOS Catalina (version 10.15).
Here's the release notes and download link:

Hi BoomerLenny,
Welcome to NETGEAR Community!
This has been brought up already to engineers. We will provide update once new information will be available.

Thanks for your reply.
This has been sitting with the "engineers" for over a year - if you're not going to do anything about it, just tell us and we'll move on - i'm about ready to invest in another system, but can hold off for a bit - moving to mesh as soon as this is resolved -

I have a workaround.
I was trying to update my old edimax ac1200 mini adapter when I accidentally installed it's driver when the A7000 was plugged in.
It worked, I'm using the A7000 on Mojave right now.
go to this page:
https://www.edimax.com/edimax/download/download/data/edimax/global/download/
box 1 home
box 2 wireless adapters
box 3 EW-7822UAC
box 4 Drivers
Get driver 1.0.3.6, ostensibly for Catalina (if this works for Catalina, let us all know), install, restart
I had to uninstall my old drivers first, so after I unzipped the file, I ran the uninstall first, just to be sure, restarted, then ran the install with the A7000 plugged in, and now the A7000 is working.
