it does not work on my Hackintosh because it needs T2 chip or Apple Silicon chip.

Hmm, seems like this macOS literally broke Airplay to the HomePod, keep disconnecting every 1-2 minutes

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.

Mikrotik and Wifi laugh.gif laugh.gif
one of the reasons i switched all AP to Aruba and keep the tik as router, switch

QUOTE(soonwai @ Sep 18 2024, 01:29 AM)
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?

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.

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 Intel based Mac will be outdated quite soon or even become vintage products soon…

well, 6 years already, probably give it another 1-2 years then repurpose it as proxmox server biggrin.gif

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
