I want to Update my Mac Os X to Version 10.10.5

Can I do this or do the DWA-131 Stick not work with this Version ? I saw that the Driver is already older and only say that it is until Os X 10.10

For Os X 10.10.4 it still worked, but i donīt want to risk that it dont work.

Has anyone Experience with DWA 131 and Os X 10.10.5

Thx a lot

Are you using D-Links OEM driver?
Updating may continue to work with the driver since the update is for 10.10.x I'm still using 10.10.4. Has 10.10.5 been released yet?

What Mfr and model is the main host router?
What wireless modes are you using?
My adapter gets warm too when using it.

Hello Furry,

thx for your quick answer.

I am using the Rev. B of the DWA 131 and the driver is this: http://support.dlink.com/ProductInfo.aspx?m=DWA-131 The 2.3.2 Driver for Mac 04/09/15

Os X 10.10.5 has officially released yesterday and you should have an Update Sign on your App Store Symbol.


Not sure what you mean with Mfr!?
The router is from an Cable TV/Internet/Telephone Box that might not been used in the US.

I am not sure what you mean with Wireless modes ? If you mean if i use 2.4 or 5 GHz. I cant see it. Might be 2.4 GhZ and There is no other WLAN that uses the same channel.


I wanted to plug my Wireless Adapter into an external "plugin Box" , but my macbook pro do not notice it if it is not directly on the USB of the macbook

Mfr = Manufacturer

Modes = A, B, G or N modes on the main host router.

Plug in box? What is this?

[Johnny2015]

I mean the place where i plug in my DWA 131 on the Macbook.

I try to find out the mode of the router. The internet is very slow now.

You can use a USB extender cable with the adapter which should work.

[Johnny2015]

I have one and that do not work on my macbook.

[FurryNutz]

Interesting that the adapter works directly connect however will not when connect to something in between...

This extender cable USB was from another WLAN stick, and the WLAN stick LED lightening with this extender on my macbook. but this model was not supporting os x.
The LED only said that the macbook notice it and it works.
There was no WLAN function.
One LED said WLAN stick work , the other that i have WLAN connection and 2nd light was īnt lightening.

The extender together with the DWA 131 nothing happening....

Maybe there some who work with the DWA 131, but i have to find out it. That a USB extender cable work with Os X might not say that it work with the DWA 131.

[FurryNutz]

Might try a different USB cable. The other adapter may have be proprietary with his cable. It shouldn't be however could be.

What region are you located?

Can someone direct me where to go for installation instructions of the DWA-131 on a MacBook Pro. I have been able to find instruction how to connect but nothing about installation.  My internal card just went out and I am trying to use this as a quick fix.

[FurryNutz]

Try using the last released drivers from D-Links web site....
