Hi Folks!

There I was, thinkin'. "Yeah, I'll just pull out the TP-Link and install the Rosewill" and BOOM! 3x my speed!

Yeah, that was a nice thought.

Mr. High Sierra can't see the network device. Apparently, "plug and play" is more like "plug and pray."

Any tips?

Thanks!!!!

Is the Wi-Fi chipset used on that card supported by macOS??
 
It's one of the recommended devices shown in the buyer's guide.

I don't know if the one on the Buyer's guide and the one you got use the same chipset. It looks like you got v2.
 
Sure enough - if you get the right part, (i.e., NOT the V2 version of this card), it works right out of the box. FWIW, I'm seeing about a 50% improvement of download speed from the N900 that was previously installed.

Thanks again, @pastrychef !
