By beta pkg you mean this one ?

TP-Link_Installer_Beta_Mac
1. For Mac 10.13.
2.For TL-WN823Nv3/TL-WN725Nv3/TL-WN722Nv3/TL-WN821Nv6/ ArcherT4U V3/Archer T9UH V2

Note: This is a beta version, unknown bugs may still exist. The formal version is coming soon.

Because I have it working currently with the driver for TL-WN722Nv2 (TL-WN725N_V2_160128). It drives both my TL-WN722Nv2 and my TL-WN823N V1 dongles

Mac OS X 10.7~10.11
Notes:
1.For TL-WN725N V2.
2.This beta driver is provided by chipset manufacturer.
3.The official driver is under test.TP-LINK will release it as soon as possible.

I wonder if this beta driver could handle them, and if its bring a better experience ?

Hey Utof,
My TL-WN722Nv2 can work but got two issues:
it can only link to invisible SSID hotspots, not visible free hotspots because it cannot see any ... that's so strange) and I won't be able to use any of the "wifi-explorer" type apps:
https://itunes.apple.com/tw/app/wifi-explorer-lite/id1408727408?mt=12

Can you confirm my issues doesn't exist on yours? if it's my device's issue or this model?
since you had WN722Nv2 and my TL-WN823N both...

Thanks in advance!

If you look at the "Features & Pricing" of WiFi Explorer here: https://www.adriangranados.com/

It states:

• External Wi-Fi Adapter Support : No

Only the professional version at €109.99 does support external wifi adapter (aka USB wifi dongle), and under certain conditions (by using an additional piece of software called "External Adapter Support Environment" and for a very short list of USB wifi adapters).

Hi guys
I have WN823n installed with driver V3 from here:https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/download/tl-wn823n/#FAQs

it show in system information, it shows my wifi networks available on status bar, but I got the message "802.11n NIC is not plugged " in network preferences pane.

High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G66) .... I'm almost sure the same hardware/driver worked on HS (17G65)
Any clues?
