Which is the best USB Wireless Adapter for a MacBook?

I have a MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2011), nowadays I have a lot of problems with the Wi-Fi connection in my University (translated):
PHY mode: 802.11n
  Channel: 1
  Country code: MX
  Network type: Infrastructure
  Security: WPA2 Enterprise
  Signal/Noise: -59 dBm / -86 dBm
  Transmission speed: 52
  MCS index: 5
I am not the only one with this problem, almost every Mac and computer has the same problem, the question is "What is the best Wi-Fi USB adapter I can buy to improve my connection?". I know there are a lot of answers to this question the problem is many of them are very outdated.
Finally, the problem only happens with this network, my home connection. Some people using PC's have bought Wi-Fi USB adapters and their connection improves a lot.
Thank you.

Give the Edimax EW-7811Un a try. I am curious if it solves your wifi problems!

    Hi, does your MacBook have Firewire, or just USB?
    FW is far faster if you have that.
    Avoid Bus powered ones.

  • What are the best quality wireless speakers for use with iTunes

    I'm not sure which is the best forum for this.  SO here goes:
    I want to replace my wired powered speakers from my iMac with wireless so I can place them further away and clean up the desptop area.  I want decent sound and volume not tinny little portable junk.  But it doesn't need to meet audiophile standards either,
    What am I looking for?  Thanks.

    Intel processor in you MB Pro? Need it to capture avchd.
    regarding file size and the need for external drive:
    "AVCHD output files are about 120Mb per minute of footage. The converted output file will be about four times the size of the input. This is because AVCHD is a highly compressed HD format and we are uncompressing it into a Quicktime-friendly high definition format. Our example 1 minute AVCHD clip becomes about 500Mb in size, after conversion.
    The final size of a converted clip has a lot to do with the amount of movement in the clip. A lot of movement will mean a larger file. Action clips can be as high as 7 times the size of the raw clips."

  • Which is the best antivirus and spyware for Mac?

    Good morning,
    Because of schoolwork and extracurricular activities, I am constantly sending and receiving e-mails and messages to and from PCs and other Apple devices, like IPads. Two years ago I purchased a 120,12GB MacBook Air and, until a few months ago, it went perfectly well.
    I am not sure what happened, but lately, every time I go online, whatever I click -whether it is a random letter in a website, or a blank space in a page, anything- an advert appears or a new -unwanted- tab opens with publicity and such, the kind of additional tabs that open when you are watching movies online in a random website, but this time, it is happening with every website (even the Apple site) and almost constantly. I suspect it is something I downloaded or maybe something I received from an infected PC that I got a virus or problem from.
    I tried using the MacKeeper software, but it is not working for me (?). Also I tried blocking pop-ups (I use Google Chrome), Java Script, automatic downloads, complements and everything I could when going online, but it has not gotten better over the last 9 months. My parents also recommended me a very good technician, who I personally know and has solved many of my previous problems, but he could not help me, in this situation.
    For that reason, I have been considering either purchasing a good antivirus for my Mac or a new Mac and an antivirus for it, to prevent future problems like this one.
    Either way, the question is the same,
    Which is the best antivirus and spyware software for Mac?
    Thank you so much for your attention.

    Please get rid of MacKeeper, as it and most other such junk software will do more harm than good.

  • Which is the best/popular video chat for iPad2?

    ...of course other than FaceTime. I want to be able to video chat or video conference with anyone, even if they don't have Apple devices.  Which works the best AND is accessible to everyone?  Does Google video work on the iPad2 as a stand alone or does it require a separate app?  Would I be better off setting up a Skype account? What about iChat? Does it integrate lots of different platforms?
    Other suggestions?

    Yes continued research after posting the question told me that iOS devices don't have iChat. oops.
    Ok so one vote for Skype (which I will probably get anyway)... at least for it's popularity. What about Google or other apps? I'd like to hear feedback on them as well.

  • Which is the best operating system to update my MacBook Air?

    I've just invested in a brand new MacBook Air, and I'm wanting to get the best out of it, so is it worth updating my OS? and if so which is the best to buy? Thanks

    Apple products always come with the latest. Just set up yopur system, and the run software updates to get any late changes from Apple. iLife 2011 is also included with your MBA. If the question you are actually asking has to do with other software versus OS, that is a much bigger question, and would be dependent on what you intend to do with the system.
    On January 6th, the Mac App Store will go live, and make it very easy to find and load software.

  • Usb wireless adapter for solaris 10 on sparc platform

    Hi,
    First and foremost, I hope that this stands in the right place.
    I need to configure my Sun Fire V240 to connect to my wireless network (wifi).
    Just wondering do we have the list of usb wifi adapter (and driver) that can work in Solaris 10 on Sparc platform?
    Or, can I have the list of Solaris supported PCI wifi adapter and driver? It would be great if instruction included.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi guys, I also had this situation and since I was not able to convert the package to a datastream, I downloaded it from http: //www. sunfreeware. com/mozilla .html
    They also provide some readme files that can be of help.
    Once you have the datastream package you can install using pkgadd utility.

  • What is the best bose sounddock adapter for iphone 5

    I am so diheartened that my wonderful bose docking system is not compatible to my new iphone 5 and the lightening adapter for £25 does not look to be very sturdy or even athsetic.  Ive heard they only work on analogue not digital.

    Apple adapter works fine  ,mine does on Bose Sound Dock 
    If you have a Sound Dock 10 ,Bose do a Bluetooth receiver
    which replaces the 30 pin plug built in
    Beware cheap adapter knockoffs on e-bay

  • What is the best external Optical Drive for my Macbook?

    I was wondering if anyone has purchased an external CD/DVD burner for their Macbook?
    My internal Super Drive in my Macbook will only play DVDs not CDs. And my discs always get stuck.
    I am looking for an external drive that will read and write CDs and DVDs. Something that I can boot my Macbook from if there is a need.
    Thank you

    If your MacBook is still under warranty, contact Apple. There's no reason to accept a partially operating Mac. If it isn't under warranty you might still want to contact Apple and relate your problem - you never know, you could get lucky.
    Essentially any FW or USB external drive is going to work - head over to NewEgg and search for external DVD burners. The great thing about NewEgg, besides being a pretty decent company to deal with, is the user reviews. They are blunt, honest, and pretty useful. You might also want to check out http://xlr8yourmac.com/ for user information. It is the go to place for upgrades.

  • What is the best anti virus software for a MacBook air?

    Hi,just joined the community  .just wanting to know what anti virus software for a macbook air running os x mavericks 10.9?I keep getting pop ups on safari.
    Any help much appreciated!

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for a file with a name of the form
              com.something.daemon.plist
    Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. It could be "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," "trusteddownloads," or pretty much anything else.
    There may also be a file named
               com.something.helper.plist
    in the same folder.
    Leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
    /Library/LaunchAgents
    In this folder, there may be a file named
              com.something.agent.plist
    where the word something is exactly the same as before.
    If you feel confident that you've identified these three files, back up all data, then drag the three files you found to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the windows and restart the computer.
    Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
    The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
    Open this folder:
    /Library/Application Support
    If it has a subfolder named just
               something
    (where something is the same word as before), drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
    Finally, in this folder:
    /System/Library/Frameworks
    there may an item named exactly
                v.framework
    It's actually another folder, though it has a different icon. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
    If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
    If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
    The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.
