<p>As the Mac 911 columnist at Macworld, I’ve received hundreds of emails from people who have had Wi-Fi fail on their computers. In August 2016, I wrote a column that provided all the advice we had (http://www.macworld.com/article/3104631/networking/what-to-do-when-your-macs-wi-fi-hardware-is-having-problems.html) to troubleshoot the problem, which is sometimes caused by system software, sometimes by failed hardware, and sometimes by a bad connection.</p><p>If you’ve gone through all those stages or you want a second Wi-Fi connection on your Mac—useful for firewalls, relaying a Wi-Fi network, and other purposes—the Edimax AC1200 Dual Band Wi-Fi USB Adapter (http://www.edimax.com/edimax/merchandise/merchandise_detail/data/edimax/global/wireless_adapters_ac1200_dual-band/ew-7822ulc/) (model EW-7822ULC; $24.99 MSRP; available on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Edimax-Adapter-Supports-MU-MIMO-EW-7822ULC/dp/B01MY7PL10)) seems to be not only a good solution, but the only solution. Once, a variety of alternatives existed for the Mac, but there’s no simply not enough of a market for them, and Edimax continues to update driver and utility software, keeping it viable.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3187363/networking/edimax-ac1200-dual-band-wi-fi-usb-adapter-review-solve-your-macs-broken-wi-fi-hardware-problem.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
