PROBLEM:
I am unable to configure the MAXPower 802.11n/g/b USB 2.0
Adapter using Apple’s built-in AirPort software.
SOLUTION:
This wireless adapter requires the use of the included software. It
will not work using Apple’s native wireless software and drivers.
PROBLEM:
My current router is set for 5GHz, and I am unable to connect.
SOLUTION:
The MAXPower 802.11n/g/b USB 2.0 Adapter only runs at
2.4GHz. In order to use this card with your wireless network,
you will need to set your router (and all other devices on
this network) to run at 2.4GHz.
