Hi all,
I tested the adapter via both a Mac mini with USB 3.0 Type-A connections and a 12-inch MacBook with USB-C using a dock. The adapter worked fine even when plugged in through an intervening device.

I have been having trouble connecting to the internet with my MBP in 'clamshell mode' (ie when the lid is closed and the laptop is connected to an external monitor), so I am trying to find an alternative way of getting wireless reception to the computer.
Does anyone have any advice/tips/recommendations about using USB wireless adapters with Macs? Do they even work? I have read a few discussions from years ago where users were having trouble using them with Macs but I'm not sure if this is still the case.
I have also heard that there are similar products available that plug in to the Ethernet port, but I can't find any online. Does anyone know anything about these, and whether they are more or less reliable than the USB alternative?
Thanks.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
