I had bought the TP-Link WDN3800 (same as the 4800 minus 1 antennae) that was listed in the 2014 June Builders List, but yea.. it doesn't work well with Maverick.

It installs just fine, but it doesn't find ANY wireless networks.. and I've not found a solution to it.

This build is for a client so I need it asap. Ive already posted 2 other threads (1 on this forum, and 1 on another) and have yet to receive a single reply, and I really need to order one asap.

So can anyone tell me some PCIe 1x cards or USB adapters that they KNOW FOR CERTAIN works 100% in Maverick and Windows 7?

I'm using a Gigabyte Z87X-UD5H with an Intel 4670K

Thanks guys
 
Oh and tbh, I really don't have time to build an airport card (and wouldn't that only work in OSX and not in Win7?)

I'm really hoping to find one I can order on Newegg or Amazon since I get 2 day shipping on those.
 
Would that work with both maverick and Windows 7?
 
I'm not worried about it working with Windows so much, I'm worried about it working with maverick, 100%. Bcuz 10.9 doesn't work with 32bit ketx. Which is the reason the TP wdn4800 no longer works, worked great on mountain lion ,but not maverick

And honestly, I'd really prefer one card I can purchase from newegg, and not have to order the pcie adapter and
the mini card from eBay.

Can you suggest a card like that?
One card, no fooling around at all, just plug it in and it works with both maverick and Windows 7, something that I can purchase on newegg, preferably under $35

Reason being is that I'm going to have to deliver this pc the card and I'll have the client pop it in when it arrives and he's not tech savvy, it needs to be simple

If you purchase a compatible card, it will work with Mavericks.

If you can find a PCIe card with compatible hardware on it, purchase that instead.

I don't as I don't use WiFi on desktop computers. I prefer a direct connection via gigabit Ethernet.
 
Yea me too, it's faster and more secure. But this guy is bent on using his new wireless printer wirelessly. I told him we can network the printer off of the pc and his other devices would work wirelessly, but he's telling me the printer isn't near the pc or router, he's just got to make everything difficult lol.
Thanks for the suggestions =)

If anyone else sees this thread and knows of a wireless pcie or usb adapter that works seamlessly with 10.9 and Windows 7 please post the model here, I'd really appreciate it
