Good adapter
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Thank goodness salesman knew to recommend this product!
I would recommend this to a friendIt needS a driver but good luck finding one
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a complete waste. The drivers don’t come with the adapter and the website doesn’t have drivers for the last’s Mac OS. Just skip this and get the Apple adapter. Any Apple adapter.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGets the job done
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm a wireless Internet installer, which requires my laptop to go into rugged conditions. The 2.0 is a bit cheap, with a thin wire. But it gets the job done. The 3.0 is a little more expensive, and costs a little more. I but 2 at a time! Lol
