It doesn’t support the latest Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite.

It is dual band at 2.4 and 5 GHz and supports 802.11b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi technology. It supports USB 3.0 SuperSpeed and backward compatible to USB 2.0 but is not compatible with USB 1.0 and or USB 1.1. It doesn’t require an internal AirPort card. It measures 3.5 x 0.4 x 2.2 inches and weighs 4.8 ounces.
