Best modem/router for AEBS that actually works?!

Hi,
I have had so many problems with my AEBS it's unbelievable! If someone could suggest a modem/router that works well with the AEBS so i can set up my wireless network that would be great! So far i have tried the netgear DM111P modem & the d-link 320T modem. Both do not seem to work, i can get onto the internet connecting directly to each of the modems but when i comes to connecting to the internet through the AEBS with the modem attached there is nothing. But i can connect one computer if the AEBS is in bridge mode, which is pointless as i need to share the connection. So any suggestions to help me or on a modem/router which will actually work, i would appreciate it a lot!
Many thanks!

Hi,
I have similar to this one ( http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=29&l2=172&l3=743&l4=60&model=1277&modelmenu =1 ), but a one or two years older and till now I haven’t lose a connection.
I’m accessing to this with iMac, Win (HP, IBM) laptops, iPhone… one of the best investments (beside iMac and iPhone.. )
I have a PC with an ASUS MB (see my profile), and have great respect for ASUS products. I was not even aware that they made routers.
Thanks for the information.

Best modem/router for a Mac / PC Combo

Hey guys
I've got a mac pro and macbook pro hooked up to an aging Netgear modem/router - the former via ethernet, the latter via wireless. I also use it for a wired connection to my playstation 3 and a Windows PC
I basically need a new, faster modem/router that works well with both mac and PC. One day I'll bin the PC, but for the moment, it's part of the equation
I need at least 3 ethernet connections (high speed if poss), and support for 108 / wimax / mimo / N / whatever protocol happens to be out there
I know I won't get the 'perfect' router but am prepared to compromise in certain areas.
Price is a factor, but I'll spend more on something robust
Any help appreciated - sorry if my explanation if oversimplistic, but that's how I like it
Cheers, L

Why am I being billed for equipment that never worked from the get go, and that your representatives admitted never connected to the computer on your end?

In September my husband and I were planning a cross country move and we thought that having a Jet Pack to go on line with while we were traveling would be a good idea. When we ordered it we told the representative that we did not need it until the 1st of Oct. as that was when we would be leaving. It arrived on our door on Sept 9th with the instructions to be sure and activate it within 2 weeks or we would lose the line. On the 19th we called in the activation and everything appeared fine. We hit the road on the 1st and Nothing, Na-Da, Zip, Zilch .... The equipment never worked from the get go! We called Verizon from the road on the 4th of Oct. to find out what was going on and the representative told us that the problem was with the computer on Verizon's end. We shut the equipment off for the rest of our trip and called for a refund on the 13th of Oct. We spoke to a representative named Juan, who again confirmed that it was Verizon's computer that had been the problem, and we were assured that all fee's associated with the Jet Pack would be waived as the equipment never worked in the 1st place. He told us all we needed to do was return the broken equipment and that he would send us a return label. We received the return label and sent the equipment back on the 22nd of Oct. On our next bill no credits of any kind had been applied? We promptly picked up the phone and called Verizon again, on Oct 31st, to find out what was going on? This time we spoke to Lou Ann. After about an hour and a half she finally managed to remove the fee's, or so we thought, and we hung up satisfied. On 11/5 our Nov. bill arrived again with no credits of any kind. We thought maybe the billing cycle hadn't had time to catch up with our most recent conversation so we called just to verify. This time we spoke to Moncheria. She did not understand what had happened and had to reenter the same refund that Lou Ann had earlier. Again another hour and a half on the phone. Today,11/28, we received our most recent bill and again no credits of any kind??? We picked up the phone and called again. This time we explained to Christian, (the above story), and she put us on the phone with her supervisor Carson. Carson proceeded to tell us that ALL of the previous representatives we had spoken to were wrong and that since we had not returned the equipment within 14 days of receiving it that we were beyond the limits of the refund policy, (which means we would have had to return it before we left on our trip), and the best she could do was offer us coupons for the future to offset THEIR mistake! No thank you I will keep my cash in my pocket!
1st of all we ordered it for the 1st of Oct. not for 9th of Sept.
Secondly we were told to be sure and activate it within 14 days or we would lose the line, never any mention of a refund time limit. (Who buys stuff anticipating an immediate refund?)
And 3d THE EQUIPMENT NEVER WORKED IN THE 1ST PLACE!!
Now Verizon is asking for $343.34 in fee's for something that never worked in the 1st place!! This is ridiculous and those fee's are defiantly under dispute! The way I see it trying to hold me to a contract that Verizon breached by sending out faulty equipment is just wrong!

HT5247 Where can I download a Java Runtime Environment that actually works on OS 10.6.8?

Last week there was this security alert urging Apple users to get rid of a Java application. Since then I have issues accessing some of my regular websites. I need Java Runtime Environment for it, but cannot find it anywhere on the Internet. Where can I find Java Runtime Environment that actually works on Apple Mac OS 10.6.8?

Run the installer.
Then you can drag the various versions of Java into whatever order you prefer, or uncheck any you don't want used at all.
As for your JRE question above, the last Apple Java update disables Java Applets and Webstart Applications by default to prevent the Flashback exploit from working. There should be a checkbox to enable that in the Java Preferences application. It's under the general tab in 10.7, but I haven't used 10.6 in so long I don't remember if it should be there or somewhere else. It doesn't seem to be there in your screenshot...
Of course, I'm assuming the "things you could do before" involved Java applets on the internet. I don't recommend re-enabling this functionality, by the way. However, it is your risk and your choice.
Java application bundles and anything run from an IDE or the command line should still sork as expected.

Anyone Rec'd a new ATI X800XT that actually works?

I'm on my second one in the last two weeks ordered direct from ATI. Both of them display dots all over the screen. Looks like ATI is shipping from a bad batch. Has anyone rec'd one of the new RoHS versions recently that actually works?
Thanks,
Ric

Dear Malcolm:
I could definitely hear the fan after I installed it, but after a few minutes it stopped, and possibly that is the point when I started to have the problem. But the fan started to spin again, and I still have the problem. I'd connected the 30 inch Cinema Display to a MacBook Pro, and the display is fine. Surely, it has to be the card? I've yet to connect a 23 inch Cinema Display to the ATI card, which I'll do shortly, but I'm sure that the problem will still be the same.
Question: Is there suppose to be a separate Y power cable used with the X800 XT and the G5 2.0?
I ask because the general instructions that came with the card states that if a card comes with a Y-cable, then it'd have to be used. The X800 XT card that I'd received didn't have a Y-cable, and such cable isn't listed on the side panel of the retail package, so I'm assuming that a Y-cable isn't necessary. Plus I didn't get the icon at startup that the instructions point out would appear if I didn't have sufficient power for the card.
I will contact Macsales.com and/or ATI about this problem, and see if I can get a replacement from either source. Thank you for your help, Malcolm.

TS3999 Is there a calendar app that actually works on the iphone4?

Everything ties to iCalendar which never works. I have been unable to fund an app that is independent of iCal and it would be nice to have a calendar app that actually works. If I have try and un-install then re-stall one more time, I'm going to scream!

It never opens. there is no way to delete and re-install it. The general trouble shooting tips rarely work.
If I use another calendar app it won't open if iCal won't open.

How do I revert to my old version of Firefox? You know, the one that actually worked!

I recently upgraded to a newer firefox version and I am very unhappy with it. How can I revert back to my older version - the one that actually worked. Also I hate the restore last session feature. It raises huge security concerns when children have access to my computer.

Best wireless modem/router for Comcast internet service?

Hello!
I am looking to switch internet service from Verizon DSL to Comcast. I have a MacBook Pro using Airport Extreme (supports 802.11 a/b/g/n), and my other computer is an iMac (OS 10.5.8, iMac 6,1), with a printer and a Roku box (I'm also thinking about switching to Apple TV). All are currently set-up wirelessly with a combined modem/router.
I know that there is a list of a bunch of potentials on the Comcast website, but I'm looking for real experience from Mac users. Good, bad or neutral comments are appreciated.
Thank you!
Ken

Don't pay Comcast monthly for a router. Buy a router. A router is a router, the best routers are Cisco based rackmount devices. Honestly the AirPort Express and Extreme are amazing and work quite well with Apple products. Plus if you purchase one and get AppleCare on it you get AWESOME support from your friendly AppleCare advisors... sure as **** beats going to India and talking to Fred.

Best Wireless Router For British Telecom Connection...?

Can anybody recommend/advise on the best wireless router to suit an Apple Macbook?
TIA

Again. Apple (for whatever reason) doesn't make country specific devices generally with a few expections. Your MacBook in the UK is like my MacBook in the US. Same with Time Capsule. It's the same everywhere. I just don't think (and I'm speculating which is sort of a no-no) they want to open a can of worms and have multiple configurations of a device that can be handled locally from your ISP. Your ISP provides the modem, you plug it in to Time Capsule and that's that. However if you bought a Apple Time Capsule in the UK I certainly couldn't use it with the modem built in. One I don't need a modem and two it's unlikely to work.
You're correct though I guess it would be nice to have an all in one solution but I doubt you'll get a Time Capsule to do it.
Good luck anyway!! If I hadn't just bought an Airport Extreme I would've gotten Time Capsule as well.
Have a good one.

Best Physical Location for AEBS

By the end of the summer I plan on upgrading my old Airport base station to the current model. What is the consensus on the best physical location for the station? We have a two-story brick home with a basement and I plan on using the AEBS for wireless and as a router to my computer, Directv receiver and gaming system. The easiest install would be for me to mount it between the floor joists in the basement (the basement "ceiling"), however I don't know if that will severely restrict the range. I could install it in a closet on the first floor, but would need to run a phone line, cat5e cable and power to make it work.
We are really only looking to have the wi-fi available within the structure of the house and maybe the back yard- not the entire neighborhood.

As a follow up, here's what I ended up doing:
I mounted my AEBS in a first-floor closet located in the middle of our home. Since the AEBS has three ethernet ports out, I ran cat5e cable to the 1st floor Directv receiver, the office and the basement gaming system. The only things running wirelessly at this point is the Wii, my old G4 iBook, my son's DSi and a couple of iPod Touch's. The range is good and I've found no dead spots within our home or our yard.

Best (affordable) Router for new Mac G5

What would be the best Router for my new Mac G5?
I currently have a DLINK router, which just won't cooperate so I am running straight out of the cable modem.
DLINK help says they don't support the latest OS version, so I decided to try another router so I can make use of my laptop (wireless) and Mac (not wireless) again.
Any thoughts? Plug and Play would be nice.

Hi Ryan, welcome to Discussions, all routers follow an industry standard and should would with your Imac. I would look on D-link's website for a firmware update (caution USA and Canada for sure have different firmware and loading wrong firmware could kill your router and it is not covered by warrentee) Make sure you have all the latest updates for Imac, there was one not to long ago that did infact make Imac "play nicer" with competitive routers. I know my D-link DI-624 didn't always "play nice" with my Imac but seems to be working wonderfully lately (knock on wood) Give that a try and if that doesn't work then Netgear and Linksys make good products too. Good luck, Bob :~))
I currently have a DLINK router, which just won't cooperate
also what exactly is or isn't happening, do you have encryption or MAC filtering or anything configuired?

DSL Modem / Router for Airport Extreme / Express

Please can anyone advise re the best DSL Modem / Router to use with an Airport Extreme and Express.
I am in the UK with BT Broadband. I currently have a Netgear DG834G which has been great but seems to need a lot of re-setting recently and has been dropping the connection. I've checked our line with the provider and that seems to be OK. The Netgear DG834G is currently wired via CAT5 to my Airport Extreme which is then also wired to an Airport Express to extend the network.
We are in a rural area so don't have particularly fast Broadband speeds (max tends to be around 4MBps).
As I'm using the Airport Express / Airport Extreme for my WiFi I don't necessarily need a modem / router with wireless or anything that has bells and whistles or can make me a decaf macchiato...I just want something this is bomb-proof and super reliable.
I've looked at various forums and am just getting confusing stuff re what works and what doesn't.
We are due to get fibre-broadband in our area next year - very happy to have to get a new router then for that if needed. The important thing for me is to have a decent set-up for now.
Many thanks! Eddy
Using Macbook Pro and iMac on 10.9.5

You don't need a modem/router since the AirPort Extreme is a router.
I don't know what the best modem might be....that would involve testing hundreds of products, and even if we could come up with a "best" modem for the AirPorts, it would likely not be the "best" working the BT connection, or BT would not support the product......,but you might want to take a look at the Draytek Vigor 120 modem, and then check with both the Draytek support folks and the BT support folks to make sure that the modem will be compatible with your service.

If you are due to get a fibre connection in the future, then you will have to start over again modem wise at that time.

What is the best Wireless Router for ichat

Hi Guys,
I wonder if anyone can give me any advice from all your experience as to the best Wireless Router I should get in order to use ichat with a minimal setup hassle. I have a G5 and iBook both using Mac OS X 10.4.3 with an external ichat camera. I am based in the UK and use AOL UK on a 2meg broadband connection. Is there a router out there that has easy software to configure?
Thanks for your help!!!
Apple G5 and i Book Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I use A Linksys WRK54G which is Pack of the Wireless router and a laptop PCIAM (or what erver the name is ) card.
It give me UPnP, Port Triggering and of course good old Port Forwarding.
It gives me 4 ethernet ports as well as Wireless access.
It will handle PPPoE logins if the modem is in Bridge mode.
I have it set to have a Static Address Modem to Router and it is also not doing DHCP And therefore Static to the computer(s).
I would also look at what speed your Internet conection is likely to rise to in the next few years. Some devices can not handle the speeds offered in some places. So make sure it will handle the Uplink and Download speeds you want as well.

Best wifi router for iPad 2 on TalkTalk broadband

I need to choose a wifi router to suit my new iPad 2. I have not used wifi yet. I understand that many people have big problems with iPad wifi connections. I have TalkTalk broadband at about 4 Mbs.
TalkTalk supports only the following wifi routers: D-Link DSL: 2640R, 2740R, 2680, 2780
Huawei: HG 521 & 532, Echolife HG 5206
Netgear: DGN 2000, DG 8346 V3 & above, DG 834PN
Please would anybody who knows any of these models tell me how suitable they would be?
Thank you.

The best router for all Apple products is the AirPort Extreme...should be compatible with any broadband modem but you will have to check with your ISP to see if they have any issues with it.
