Wireless with ASUS USB-N10 NANO on OS X 10.6 – 10.12

I can confirm ASUS USB-N10 NANO USB wireless adapter work on all OS X versions from 10.6.8 till 10.12.3 on Hackintosh computers. No bugs detected for now, using it mostly on latest version of OS X Sierra (10.12.3).

This little USB Wireless adapter uses Realtek RTL 8188/8192 chipset, the driver, or kext if u wish, is available at official ASUS website here -> ASUS USB-N10 NANO Drivers. Probably  driver can be found at Realtek site for  RTL 8188/8192 chipsets as well, but since everything works with default ASUS drivers I didn’t search for it.

After that I tried Windows 7 and computer was still unable to shutdown.

Then I read on some forum that fix is to put out and back BIOS battery. And voila computer was able to shutdown like normal. Interesting thing is that this happened on a new mainboard, with the default BIOS settings… so I asume it’s a some kind of Asus mainboard bug.

Mack vs Hack – Difference between Macintosh and Hackintosh

Apple first announced its computers would switch to Intel-based processors in 2005.
