APPLE MACBOOK YOSEMITE DRIVER PROBLEM SOLVED (UpCnSR)

turbotenna

I have recently upgraded my MacBook to Mac OS X 10.10.5 running the latest version of Yosemite. The driver does not work with it. I was hoping that the new driver would soon debut but got frustrated waiting during which I had no Internet connection on my MacBook unless I fell back to the older versions of Mac OS. It appears that there's been more sub-releases 10.10,10.10.2,…, 10.10.5 than the chip makers can take. It is like a fast moving target - a driver becomes obsolete the moment a new Mac OS version is released.

I guess I am still looking for a Yosemite driver like many others if it is not the Catch n Share Repeater kit that solved the problem once and for all. Not only am I able to get online with my high power USB-Yagi TurboTenna, my Macbook is now free of a physical wired connection along with my other iphone and ipad gadgets as well. As far as the antenna itself goes, I now have no complaints.

I have no experience with other antennas, but if you need something for maximum power and distance, I would think this antenna is one of the best out there.

Now granted it’s only been day one since I've been using this, but comparing it to the antenna I had before this one, which had only 5dbi - this kicks butt!

The signal is very strong and I notice it goes down a little every now and then but it’s not enough to slow down my connection. My apartment complex has free wi-fi and so I've been trying to connect to it and their kinda far. This antenna has made it to where it’s as if I have a wired connection to the internet. I've tried playing video's on my fireTV stick and the likes and they play perfectly! I get about 500 to 1000 kb/sec! But on average I'd say I get 800 kb/sec. :)

Very very impressed! Highly recommend it!!
