A7000 Software not compatible with MacBook
I'm trying to load the software for the A7000 adapter and it crashes on the MacBook Pro. Is there a fix for this?
Yes, the installer crashes at the last few seconds of the install. Tried everything on the website, which is pretty lacking in any real solutions, and have a call into tech support. Thanks.
Not sure how much movement you'll see as this has been going on for a while.
Macs change quite a bit between versions and it breaks compatibility. Makes it a challenge to keep install drivers updated.
- Tech support told me if your computer already has Wi-Fi regardless of its age or type the netgear adapter will not work. This is for macs and pc’s. Seems odd.

For a couple of years now people have complained that Netgear has not developed drivers for recent versions of MacOS. Now they have thrown in a new excuse.

Seems odd.Not sure about mac's but for windows thats a load of garbage. I have 2x wireless cards in my desktop right now for testing purposes. And I've had a built in on a laptop that I plugged a USB card into. With stock software, it doesn't allow "2x the speed" but you can have them both connected. It'll only use one at a time and revert to the other if one disconnects/is disabled.
- Figured as much. He actually told me the only way to get faster speeds is to buy a new pc. And he was a supervisor. Wonder how the marketing department feels about that statement??
