Tricascade VOS 5G Dongle

I have the Tricascade VOS 5G Dongle which I use to connect my windows 11 laptop to the internet when traveling. It works very well. Now I want to use it with my Macbook Pro M1 (MacOS 14.3.1). So I connect it to the USB-C port, and it shows connected in the Networks, as well as the dongle shows a green light which means it is connected to the cellular network. However I am unable to connect to the internet. Any ideas on what is going on, and how can this be resolved?

Firstly, ensure that the Tricascade VOS 5G Dongle is recognized by your MacBook Pro and properly configured for internet access.


1. Go to the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen and select "System Preferences."

2. Click on "Network."

3. In the Network preferences window, you should see the Tricascade VOS 5G Dongle listed on the left-hand side. It may appear as a new network interface.

4. Make sure that the status of the Tricascade VOS 5G Dongle is shown as "Connected" and that it has been assigned an IP address.


If the Tricascade VOS 5G Dongle is recognized and connected but you're still unable to access the internet, try some additional troubleshooting steps:


1. Restart your MacBook Pro: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues.

2. Check for firmware or driver updates for the Tricascade VOS 5G Dongle: Visit the manufacturer's website to see if there are any updates available for the dongle's firmware or drivers that may improve compatibility with macOS.

3. Reset the network settings on your MacBook Pro: Go to System Preferences > Network, select the Tricascade VOS 5G Dongle, and then click the minus (-) button to remove it. Then, click the plus (+) button to add it back again and configure its settings from scratch.

4. Try using the dongle with a different USB-C port on your MacBook Pro: It's possible that the USB-C port you're using may be experiencing issues.

5. Test the dongle on another device: If possible, try connecting the Tricascade VOS 5G Dongle to another Mac or Windows PC to see if it works properly on that device. This can help determine if the issue is with the dongle itself or with your MacBook Pro.


If you've tried these troubleshooting steps and are still unable to connect to the internet using the Tricascade VOS 5G Dongle, I recommend reaching out to the manufacturer's customer support for further assistance. They may be able to provide specific troubleshooting steps or advice based on the dongle's compatibility with macOS. Additionally, you can also contact Official Apple Support for further assistance with networking issues on your MacBook Pro.
