MacBook Airs and Mac mini wifi no longer connects to my Mikrotik APs. But since it's Mikrotik and Wifi in the same sentence, it's probably Mikrotik's fault.

Upgraded iPhones, iPads, HomePods and HomePod minis are OK.

Mine seems ok. Just airplay-ed a 10min Youtube video from Safari (Mac mini) to a HomePod mini stereo pair. The stereo pair is connected via 5Ghz.

restarted my mini again and now it seems to run fine, keeping my fingers crossed biggrin.gif

Ppl reporting same thing at Mikrotik forums.
https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?p=1098270

But they have IOS 18.0 problems also while I only have macOS 15.0 problems. One also reported probs with UBNT.

Anyone here using Macs with Mikrotik routers?

Possible. Intel based Mac will be outdated quite soon or even become vintage products soon…

mikrotik have nice low level features that you can tweak it all the way but damn when the whole house is apple only, it's just a pain.

My Mac Mini M2 Pro just received notification to update to macOS 15 Sequoia.
I think I'm gonna hold on for few more days/weeks to see any potential problems could arise.

appreciate if you guys could share your experience after updating to Sequoia. thanks.

Before using mirroring, it must turn on Wi-Fi sad.gif
Else will not proceed.

Posted this in iPhone thread earlier. Thought I'd post here also since can use for Macs. In case anyone wants a cheap and small 10Gbps external SSD.

Orico NVME 2230 USBC 10 Gbps Magsafe Enclosure. https://s.lazada.com.my/s.lBUtX

Actually got this last month but only installed the SSD today. Exactly RM60 so perfect match for Laz's 60-30 voucher.

Blackmagic Disk Speed test done on MacBook Air M1.

• Currently using a 256GB SK Hynix NVME SSD taken from laptop. Not the fastest SSD but not bad.
• Enclosure is USB 3.1 Gen 2 10Gbps which matches the iPhone 16 Pro. Unsure if iPhone 16 Pro is USB 3.1 Gen 2 or USB 3.2 1x2.
• It's magnetic and snaps on very securely onto the back of my iPhone 13 Pro not that I can use it there.
• A short 10Gbps USBC cable is included which can also be used for transferring from old phone to new phone and connecting to computer.
• RTL9210 chipset

this look good, have you tried larger NVME disk with the drive and attaching it to the iPhone?
mine orico enclosure seems to work with smaller capacity NVME drive, but when i plug in my Samsung 970 1TB, it just won't mount it like 9 out of 10 times laugh.gif

Unfortunately not, the only 2230 SSD I have is a 256GB. My 1TB and 2TB 2280s are in Acasis TBT3 enclosures which works fine.

Yeah, I guess won't work since lightning port is USB2 speed of 480Mbps. Probably too slow.
