compatibility macos catalina
I just bought the Nighthawk AC1900 Wifi USB adapter. Will it work with Macos Catalina?
After Searching I found this tool, and it get it to work on Catalina. Hope it helps atleast temporarily until Netgear releases the fix
If Apple has broken something, then let them know as well as Netgear.
There is a good chance that other makers of USB Adapter's have fallen victim to the same bug.

It is not a bug.
Apple has changed the way applications are installed ontop of the operating system by introducing a read-only system volume.

Doubtless that will help anyone who uses Macs. There won't be many of those here as Netgear support for USB adapters for Macs is limited.
This is one of the few discussions I have seen here on that front.
Pity it is design ineptitude rather than a bug. Bugs can get fixed.
Got the same issue after upgraded to Mac os Catalina (10.15)
The adapter no longer works, and the installer no longer supported.
I believe there is some breaking changes introduced in 10.15 in the way driver deal with the OS.
The A7000 is relatively new product and definiately still in the supported lifecycle.
A new driver supporting catalina should be developed.
- 32bit programs no longer work on maxis Catalina.
Hi, All,
For now, the A7000 MacOS software cannot support MacOS 10.15 (Catalina). Engineering team are working on a new software to support MacOS 10.15. We expect to support it first quarter of 2020.

Is there any way of being placed on a mailing list or some other way of being notified when the upgrade is available?
Thank you,So, should everyone just be all right with not having network access for a few months? You should really post a fix immediately.
Yes, this is just crazy - to not support Catalina with so much time to prepare for it is just lazy. And Netgear is not a cheap product - it is a Premium priced stuff where this should be inexcusable.
Last time I bought any of that hardware.
