• Wireless Wifi Adapter For Mac

Hi all, I have been having trouble connecting to the internet with my MBP in 'clamshell mode' (ie when the lid is closed and the laptop is connected to an external monitor), so I am trying to find an alternative way of getting wireless reception to the computer. Does anyone have any advice/tips/recommendations about using USB wireless adapters with Macs? Do they even work?

I have read a few discussions from years ago where users were having trouble using them with Macs but I'm not sure if this is still the case. I have also heard that there are similar products available that plug in to the Ethernet port, but I can't find any online. Does anyone know anything about these, and whether they are more or less reliable than the USB alternative? Ok, so I have made a bit of a shortlist of products that I think could work for me. Does anyone have any experience or tips with any of these? Obviously I just want to make sure I get a good value product that works properly! Netcomm NP900N Wireless N USB Adapter.

Just a simple USB adapter that is on sale at Officeworks. I should be able to return or replace this if it doesn't work, but does cheaper mean worse quality when it comes to these sorts of things? Quickertek nNano II. Another USB adapter, recommended by Network 23 earlier in the thread, more expensive but it specifies that it will work with Macs. However, it could be difficult to get service and support for this if it doesn't work as it comes from the US, so I'm steering away from it a little.

About $60.00 plus postage from the US. D-Link Powerline AV Starket Kit. Powerline/ethernet over power product, which is not too expensive and should work as it connects to the computer through ethernet.

There are more expensive versions of the same sort of thing out there, but I don't think that that means they will necessarily work any better. As the D-Link one supports up to 200Mb/s it should be 'future-proof' if we get faster internet in the future (and who needs those speeds anyway!) so it should be quite fine. I'm thinking that option 3 would be the best for me, because the ethernet connection is pretty much guaranteed to work.

I have not used the first two, but I have used Wifi vs Powerline so I can comment on that. What you pick is going to depend on your local conditions. I chose powerline for a specific distant room in my house where no wifi extension solution was ever sufficient. The powerline solution delivered a more consistent and faster connection.

Hi, For the last couple of days, the word app on my mac won't open. It bounces after clicking in the icon and then nothing happens. I have to force the app to shut down. Word 2011 for mac won't open 2017 sierra 10.12.5.

I then bought a third adapter for my home theater so that I could be sure streaming HD video from the Internet would never be affected by wifi bandwidth competition or interference from the many wifi devices that I and my dense apartment neighbors have. But you need to know that powerline is highly dependent on the quality of the wiring in your location. Old or poorly installed electrical circuits may provide bandwidth well below what it says on the box.although that might still be faster than wifi depending on your wifi conditions. I have certain fluorescent lamps in my home that will pump so much noise into my electrical circuits that powerline networking slows significantly, so when I need fastest throughput I shut those lights off. Also, you cannot plug powerline units into a surge protector or UPS because the filtering in those devices (which is usually a good thing) will filter out the networking signals so if anything gets throught it will be slow.

Also, I greatly dislike D-Link equipment after unhappy experiences with 3 different (non-powerline) devices of theirs. But if you look at Amazon people seem to like ZyXel and other units with the same throughput. Mine are Linksys.
