We have reports that the US54mini2 often times does not get detected again upon system restart. The unit comes in very unassuming packaging and is usually neglected as a potential purchase by most consumers owing to Planex’s lower profile in the mass consumer market.įor more details, surf over to the Planex site. A small price to pay, we reckon, for the ability to use WiFi again on our older Macs, at a fraction of the cost of sourcing an Airport or Airport Extreme replacement. Unfortunately, when it comes to user interface, it doesn’t utilise the built-in simplicity of the Airport and relies instead on its own Planex application that is installed into your Applications folder during the driver installation. Simply use the Install CD that comes with it, restart your Mac after installing it, plug the Planex USB WiFi adapter in, launch the Planex application and you’re good to go… wirelessly. The best part?… It costs under USD$30.00. A good USB device to have in the arsenal. What’s more it comes ready to support almost any platform, other than the Mac OS X, it also touts support for Windows XP/Vista and even Linux. With the increasing difficulty in sourcing affordable Airport or Airport Extreme replacements, this product is a lifesaver. The Planex GW-US54Mini2W is an ace product for those of us with Macs that have Airport or Airport Extreme which no longer function. Its been a long time coming but finally, somebody has made a USB WiFi adapter that works with Mac and that’s affordable to the masses!
