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?

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.
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??
Again, thats mac. Not sure about mac as I'm a windows guy.
Also, not sure if you actually talked to netgear support. Many people google for support and get scam/con sites. Netgear charges for support after 90 days so if it was a "free" call, I'd be suspicions of talking to netgear.
- Nope netgear. I was in the 90 day window. Pretty poor organization.
I get the impression that Netgear is abandoning the adapter market.
It certainly offers next to nothing in that category on its own retail site.
