My Macbook Pro is almost 4 years old. The wireless connection on it has been giving me grief for many months.
* I'm running Parallelse on my Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.6
* I'm using a DWA-125 as my wireless access point
* My router is an Airport Extreme base station
So after looking through many mac forums, I came across the topic "dwa-125 and snow leopard"
http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=13230.msg77939#msg77939.
The information was very helpful, fortunately I didn't have to jump through quite as many hoops.
So, here's what I did (I hope I'm not missing any steps):
*Download the driver for your operating system version at http://www.ralinktech.com.tw/support.php?s=3; you want to choose the usb driver USB(RT2870 /RT2770 /RT307X /RT2070 /RT3572)
* Turn off your current network connection if you have one
* Install the driver above and reboot
*Before I could do the following steps, I had to plug in the dlink dwa-125
* Under the apple in the upper left hand corner of the screen choose System Preferences
* Leave locations set to Automatic, it seems to work fine
* I didn't remove any previous network locations, I just moved the 11n Adapter up to the top of the list. My Airport still shows in the list, but is off on my computer (router is still on of course)
* Select network from the third row
* Click the plus right above the lock on the bottom left hand side of the screen
* From the drop down choose the 11n Adapter
* Select Using DHCP if it is not selected
* Click apply
* After I did this, nothing seemed to happen for awhile. After I restarted again, the system preferences dialogue box opened on its own and then the DWA wireless box came up for me to configure. I just followed the directions and it worked great. I have my network set up as a wpa2 and I set the dwa to the password for my network and it worked.
* If you're running parallels too, just open it up and put the dlink disk in and install the driver. You don't need to do anything else, it eventually recognizes it and works - again, you might have to restart parallels to accomplish this.
