ArcaOS doesn’t seem to have a driver for my wireless network (WLAN) adapter. What can I do?

Arca Noae continues to work to add wireless network adapter support to ArcaOS in the form of additional MultiMac drivers for some of these devices. However, in the interim, there is a workaround.

Wireless ethernet bridge devices are compact, generally inexpensive (under $50) units, which connect to the wired ethernet port on the computer and then wirelessly associate with an existing access point. These devices are produced by several manufacturers including Asus and IOGEAR, and generally, these are powered via USB. Often, they support a wide range of networking protocols and configure easily, using nothing more than a web browser. In addition, because they are external devices, installation is easy, and they can be positioned to obtain optimal signal without having to reposition the computer.

While Arca Noae does not recommend any one device over another, and cannot provide specific support for the configuration of these units, we can provide support for ArcaOS and its related configuration necessary to connect to one of these devices.
