Supported laptops

We tested these laptops and their capability to power WLAN Pi Go via USB and to establish Ethernet over USB. While the WLAN Pi iOS mobile app might run on macOS, please note that there is no alternative of the mobile app on Windows.

Remote Sensor is the main use case for Go connected to your laptop. This allows Airtool and WiFi Explorer Pro running on your laptop to use WLAN Pi Go's Wi-Fi radio for packet captures and Wi-Fi scanning.
