Wifi Driver For Mac Os X 10.13

Android 1.6~2.3 and 4.0 devices may or may not, at manufacturer’s discretion, include the Android driver from Realtek on their customized Android builds. We have not done any internal tests as of yet and cannot recommend this device for Android users at this time- although this may be a great option for Android developers familiar with compiling drivers into android source.

For the very latest drivers, take a look at the Realtek website. This will take you to the drivers page for the Realtek RTL8188EU(S) chipset that’s at the heart of the USB-WIFINT (Realtek’s page has not been functional for sometime, retained for historical purposes).
