Best N wifi router for 2007 draft N macbook ?

I read that there can be a lot of N wifi compatability issues with these early draft N. laptops...
For a location servicing several PC laptops and one 2007 draft N MacBook, can anyone tell me what would be the best new router to buy?
Price is an issue... unless it is absolutely necessary, am trying to avoid buying the latest, greatest and most expensive.
Preference is also not for an Airport Extreme unless that is the only viable option.
All tips appreciated.

What particular LinkSys Wifi router do you have that works well with your son's 2007 draft N macbook pro? There are number of models now. Also, do you have any idea of whether your son's macbook actually get's N speed connectivity?
It's a [WRT310N|http://www-id.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=LProductC2&childpagename=ID%2FLayout&cid=1175242816979&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisit orWrapper&lid=1697985430B01]. I can only assume that he gets N speeds or he would have mentioned it. I'll have to get back to you about any details that you have concerning his connections. He is in college and this is his winter break so I don't see him too much. The balance of our network that uses G is enjoying increased wireless coverage and an increase in bandwidth availability.

    Im Using iPhone 4. i connected to my home WiFi router for browing internet.. Sometimes its automaltically disconnected and must i off and on it again for using.. why its happening?

    Look on the support pages for your WiFi router for a firmware update for the router.
    It's hard to say much more without knowing the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

  • 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.

  • Best VPN Firewall Router for iPhone

    Hi,
    I am looking for opinions regarding VPN routers that will let me connect with the iphone. I'm setting up an office computer network with about 10-20 computers and plan to tunnel in with iphone and macbook when away from office.
    Also, I am looking at a second location, so the ability to have a router to router VPN between two separate office would be a big plus!
    Thank you,
    Jake
    iphone version 3.13

    This seems to be a topic that is not easy to answer. Why? There are a lot of variables. Seems like iPhone supports ipsec/l2tp/pptp but when I tried to connect to a pix506e using ipsec/udp (NAT-T) it just kept failing even though I knew all the settings are right. If you are looking for a cheap solution like a cisco small office router/ or a open source firmware for a wifi router, no luck. Cisco ones support some "easy" vpn solution, or a router to router vpn, and the dd-wrt or tomato variant mostly support open vpn or pptp (but I am still researching the pptp right now). Best bet is a VPN appliance like a cisco asa or a sonicwall. you get what you pay for and you should get support as well. AN asa 5510 will do it. or one of the sonicwall units should work.

  • Inquiry - Best Linksys/Cisco router for Gaming and Media Streaming?

    Help! I live in a two bedroom town home and have an old little Belkin router. I'm switching to a Linksys but I need to know which model is best for my home. I have two sons that share a room and they both play XBox live, usually at the same time. I'm usually using the internet or watching a movie on Netflix with my wife. Sometime both while the boys are playing upstairs. I don't need multiple USB ports or gigabit ports. I wouldn't know what to do with them. I just want something faster than what I have now. We have Time Warner Cable's Roadrunner internet service if that helps.

    I would recommend EA4500 as it is a high performance router for home entertainment which is ideal for faster streaming of HD video and music plus multiplayer gaming. Please click on the following link to know more features of this router: http://homestore.cisco.com/en-us/Routers/Linksys-EA4500-Dual-Band-N900-Router-with-Gigabit-USB_stcVV...

  • My Deskjet 3050 J610 will not connect to my Virgin WiFi router for use with Apple Mac laptop.

    I live in the UK and have Broadband access via a Virgin connection and WiFi router. My Apple MacBook laptop connects to the WiFi with no difficulties. However I have an HP Deskjet 3050 J610 printer which will not connect to the router. When I try to connect, the blue light just keeps on flashing but a connection is not found. Consequently my MacBook cannot "see" the printer on the network. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    See if this helps.
    Printer does not maintain wireless connection.

  • Is it possible to be connected with a 3G modem for internet access and a WiFi router for printer sharing at the same time?

    For our only internet access we have a 3G wireless modem. I have since purchased a WiFi printer and router to connect all the comptuters to in the house. The PCs have no problem with using both the 3G connection and the WiFi signal at the same time to print, however, the MacBook Pro will not connect to the 3G network and the router, it will drop the internet access from the modem and attempt to connect via WiFi (which has no internet access). Is there a solution that is available to remedy this? I attempted to create an adhoc printer network, however, the macbooks again will not print off of this, only the PCs. And I'm getting a bit frustrated overall with this.

    The 3G wireless modem is on one of the PC's correct?
    Why don't you pass the Internet through the Ethernet port to the router via Cat5 cable, then have that transmit a Wifi signal that everything else can use, then connect the printer to the router for print sharing?
    You would have to turn off the wifi on the comptuer with the 3G modem as it's physically connected to the router and can't connect to the other machines as they are all connected to the router for sharing.
    The Mac has the ability to pass, Internet Sharing in the System Preferences.
    Do you have software for the Mac to run the 3G modem?

  • Best non-BT Router for BT Vision Use

    Just a question thats been going through my head...
    Was the best Non-BT Router (Not HomeHub etc...) for giving a decent connection for BT Vision use??
    Im guessing it would have to support this QOS thingy..
    has anyone had any positive experiences using a Non BT Router over a longish line while not getting any BT Vision C01/V04 Errors??
    JC

    same as above I have used both netgear and Dlink routers with bt vision without any problems and have used a netgear router configured as an Ethernet switch (asdl and dhcp turned off ) connected to the homehub to extend the number of ports available.
    i am using a white homehub at the moment simply because i want to use the hub phone

  • Suggestions for configuring wifi router for better uploads to Folio Builder

    I have been facing issues where my wifi router isn't providing maximum upload speed to upload folios. There I have been facing Network failure errors. Any advices.

    Thanks for the hint Bob. I went over the wired connection. Got the bug that
    was hurting, hopefully it was not the hardware but the software as I
    guessed. Sometimes the features company boasts off comes out to be a real
    pain. Thanks   I'm good now.

  • Recommended wifi router for Y2 tab 13?

    At the moment, I have an old wifi "g" class router that's capable of about 50 Mbit/s (if I interpreted the specifications correctly). I see that new "n" class routers, as well as Yoga tablets, are capable of about 600 Mbit/s - that seems a great improvement. Could anyone recommend some particular model that works well and stable with Yoga tablets?
    I've tried googling them and reading Amazon reviews, but I'm not much smarter after that... Some models I've looked at (I'm aware these support even better speeds than "n", but that seems a better and more future proof investment than pure "n" router):
    TP Link Archer C7 - cheaper but said to be less reliable and slower than competition
    Asus RT-AC68 - a lot of praise, but also a lot of (bad) 1 and 2 star reviews
    Asus RT-AC87 - again a lot of praise, but also a lot of people with issues
    Netgear R7000 - again mixed reviews and allegedly particularly bad support from manufacturer
    I would be happy with just a reasonable speed improvement (for example, currently I can't stream any high definition movies and even just browsing folders on the other machine in local network is noticably slow) and I won't connect many devices simultaneously (typically 1 to 3).
    Solved!

    Hi DigiMagic,
    The prices of routers at the end of the day depends on the functionality which you are looking for. Example some routers have guest mode, kids mode, supports USB / NAS, etc etc.
    Therefore at the end of the day, it would depend what will you be using the router for. As for myself, I have 2 access point at home due to my weak WLAN router and I am planning to get one which is dual band together with AC to ensure future proofing...
    Hope that helps =D

  • Best, user-friendly router for parental controls??

    Hi all - I purchased the EA3500 but not sure it's features are the best for my purposes ...  one teenager with a number of devices:
    pc desktop 
    smartphone
    ipod
    macbook
    ipad
    xbox
    I also have an iphone, an ipad, and apple t.v.   I want to restrict his access both the amount of time each day and final turn-off time.   I've read here that there's a bug re: IPv4 and IPv6>   
    Also it has to be really user-friendly for me to set up.  I'm somewhat computer illiterate (not a techy!).
    Recommendations?   Thanks much.  

    I have gathered some useful articles below to help you in setting up the router, configuring parental control settings as well the wireless and knowing more about it that may benefit your network. I hope these will help.

  • 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.
