Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt to HDMI, DVI & DisplayPort Adapter

When your MacBook needs to connect to a variety of different display types, you need this multifunction adapter from Monoprice!

This adapter has a Mini DisplayPort (mDP) connector on one end for connecting to the output of your MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, or any other device with an mDP output. The other end has DisplayPort (DP), HDMI, and DVI output ports, allowing you to connect to a single display using either of these standards. This adapter saves you the hassle and expense of purchasing and transporting different adapters with your MacBook because this one adapter fits all the primary standards you are likely to encounter in your travels.

Configuration: As the external display is seen by the Mac as just another monitor, then arrangement of same [bridging v. mirroring] is done in System Preferences/Displays. For audio go to System Preferences/Sound and choose USB as the output.

Question: When I connect the mini dvi/mini displayport adapter to my mac my wifi signal drops or completely stops working.

Answer: There are several things that can cause these symptoms. Try the following:

1.) Ensure the adapter is connected and straight, not being bent or angled in any way. Having the Mac on a stand which causes the adapter to hang freely can cause issues as well.

2.) Try swapping the cable connected to the adapter.

3.) Try changing the channel of the wireless signal on your router. It may take several attempts to find one that works for your network. Some that have been reported to work the best are: Channel 1, 5, 6, and 8.
