Review on ๐Ÿ“ถ NET-DYN USB WiFi Adapter - High-Speed 150Mbps 802.11n Wireless Internet Dongle for PC and Mac by Brandon Reid

Revainrating 2 out of 5

For the Mac user who longs for the days when life was more complicated, like Scully

This device is clearly not something the average Mac user would want to use and after going through so many hoops I think this is it that only the most desperate Metal-headed Mac user would want to use. A few problems I found: 1. Mini CD is useless, needs to be installed from website (links to numerous other reviews)2. Installed, doesn't work with Apple network settings - must use company software (which I can't remove at this time)3. Most random Wi-Fi locations that ask you for a browser don't ask you when you start your browser, so you can't use them4. The device hangs on reboot when the device is in the computer. Only when I remove it does the machine boot up. On the plus side, using their software made me feel like a network programmer back in the early 1990s, which was kind of retro-ironic-cool. If you're out in the woods with an old wireless router, you might prefer it to a wall outlet. But life is too short.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Long delivery time
