a8000 and macos
Is there any particular reason that the a8000 (axe 3000 usb wifi adapter) is listed as not compatible with macos? I've never ran into an uncompatable wifi adapter yet.

Re: a8000 and macos
Probably because even the A7000 isn't compatible with the latest versions of mac? Its a couple generations behind on that.
Could be how apple is handling drivers/compatibility.

Re: a8000 and macos
You're probably right. Apple tends to hide everything from developers until the last minutes before an os release.

Re: a8000 and macos
Anyone have an update on A8000/AXE3000 (wifi6e USB dongle) + OSX? Just picked one up and would rather use it in my Macbook or a rPI instead of standing up a windows machine.

Re: a8000 and macos
Right now its only showing windows compatibility.
You might be able to find out the chipset and see if there's generic drivers for your specific device but you won't find them on the official forums.

Re: a8000 and macos
Unfortunately, Netgear seems to be incapable of keeping up with Apple's changes to MacOS. One USB adapter that claims to be compatible has languished for a couple of years since the last Apple update. This has upset quote a lot of punters who have been left high and dry.

As @plemans suggests, your best bet is to seek out a generic driver for the adapter's chipset.
