Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I did not purchase this item, but I was looking for the answer myself. According to the ASUS website, it only listed support for Mac OS X 10.7 to 10.12 as well as other Windows OSes. See: https://www.asus.com/us/networking-iot-servers/adapters/all-series/usb-ac53-nano/techspec/
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.In the new versions of Mac OS, you need to temporarily disable csrutil to install the drivers, it's not hard but it is not clear how to do so either. Search youtube for "how to install incompatible software, drivers or any old packages on macos catalina" to find the tutorial that worked for me.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it is, select MAC OS from the drop down on their website at: https://www.asus.com/us/Networking/USB-AC53-Nano/HelpDesk_Download/
