A7000 won’t install on Mac OS Big Sur
I recently purchased the Nighthawk A7000 and I can’t get it to install on MacOS Big Sur v11.1. This is extremely frustrating for such an expensive and premium product.
My Mac runs Big Sur 11.2.3. I too got the error message that the installation had failed; however, after approving the istallation in Settings->Security & Privacy, I found that the software was running.
Upon restarting I had to find where the applicatiion was installed and start running it again, but once i did my A7000 worked.
I found the application in this location: /Library/Application Support/WLAN/StatusBarApp.app
I created an alias and dragged it to my desktop so i can start the application when I need to use my A7000.
- Thanks for the information. Unfortunately I returned my A7000 after being told the solution was months away. Possibly Apple or Netgear updated software to solve the issue?
Anyway glad to hear yours is working!Seeing as we are into Q3 now, is there any updates from Netgear on the status of this update, and will M1 macs be included as well as Intel Macs?
Being one of the few USB adapters available for macOS, I as well as other Big Sur users wouldn't hesitate to purchase this adapter IF it will work on our systems.
You have paying customers willing to buy your product as long as you provide the software to support it!
