There aren't any official drivers for the TP-Link, Netgear, Trendnet and Asus adapters in this list, but certain sections of the community have put in the work to get these adapters functional.įor example, on the TP-Link forums, someone discovered a user-created driver and disabled SIP (System Integrity Protection) on macOS to make it compatible. We’ve noticed a shocking lack of macOS Big Sur support for USB Wi-Fi adapters, so if you are running this operating system, you might face a bit of trouble getting it to work. It’s the most expensive USB Wi-Fi adapter on this list, but if you don’t want a cord bothering you and are looking for high-data transfer rates, this could be a worthwhile investment. And the ASUS USB-AC68 is also quite attractive thanks to its wireless USB capabilities.
