Kernel panic with TP-Link TL-723N v3.

I got this usb wifi adapter in 2014, it was part of my first hackintosh. It was a laptop, hp dv6 6120us and once I got audio and sleep working, I needed wifi. The rest was working out of the box, except for the USB 3. The adapter gave me no problems and I was using the Osx86 kext.

Now I use this on my pc, that I originally built to handle decent games. In windows it works but in Sierra, I get random Kernel panics every once in a while. It had crashed on me while doing homework and music making.

The ethernet port works fine, but my router is in my living room so I have to use wifi to get access. I can't bring the PC out and take it inside everytime I want to go online in Mac.

  • Gigabyte z97x gaming 5
  • i7 4790k
  • 320gb and 80 gb SATA drives
  • gtx 750ti
  • 8gb corsair vengeance 1600mhz ddr3 ram
  • 600 watt generic psu

This was a recycled build, so the drives, PSU and case were from another PC. Same for the display and keyboard. I'll still quote a piece of my panic report:

The Realtek driver is the tp-link kext.
