USB WiFi adapter that works with M1 Mac I have an M1 MacBook Pro running Monterey and need a compatible WiFi dongle so that I can be connected to two different wireless networks at the same time just like I did with my old Intel MacBook running High Sierra. Please no responses stating the obvious "there is already built-in WiFi in all MacBooks, why do you need this?". Some of us need to be connected to internal private networks with no internet access AND to a network with internet access at the same time. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Seeking a tested Thunderbolt/USB-C Wi-Fi adapter for macOS Ventura on MacBook Pro Hi, Recently had my mid-2017 Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch repaired after damage to the machine, but due to the considerable expense of repair I elected not to get the built-in Wi-Fi repaired and have no plans to (already spent more than I want to relative to how much the machine is worth); i.e., the built-in Wi-Fi is physically damaged, no longer operable, and the Wi-Fi PHY device no longer even shows up at all in _ifconfig_(1) (so please no replies to the effect of “Have you tried following Apple’s troubleshooting procedure for configuring your Wi-Fi network in System Settings,” etc.). Been using a USB-C-to-Ethernet adapter and connecting to the Internet via a wired Ethernet connection which is blazingly fast, but will soon need to use the machine at work where all I have access to is the warehouse’s Wi-Fi network. Does anyone know of a Thunderbolt or USB-C Wi-Fi adapter/dongle that has been tested and confirmed to work with macOS Ventura? And yes I am aware of the numerous other posts on here to the effect of “use a portable Wi-Fi range extender/bridge with an Ethernet port and then connect an Ethernet cable from that to your USB-C-to-Ethernet adapter,” etc., which I am trying to avoid due to the bulk of carrying all those extra three components around with me as I walk around the floor carrying my MacBook Pro in hand, not stationary at a fixed desk, so please spare me replies to that effect lol. Was wondering if anyone has gotten a Thunderbolt or USB-C Wi-Fi adapter to work with macOS Ventura before I resort to going the route of https://github.com/chris1111/Wireless-USB-Big-Sur-Adapter Thanks so much in advance and really ’preciate it [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Hi,

Dongle itself which supports macOS is available at Amazon or similar services, though I'm not sure they work as you like the way.
