BEST WIRELESS ROUTER FOR THE JOB

I want to use my wireless router/adsl gateway (Westell Versalink) to send its wireless signal to a bunch of computers I have upstairs. I would like to purchase a router that would pickup that signal (from the Westell) nd relay it to some wired computers. What product would solve this problem? Basically, I don't want to have to wire a connection upstairs.

i dont need a router...
what you need is a repeater or an access point. since your not using a linksys router. you can try the access point but i dont promise anything..
but im pretty sure you dont need a router

    What is the best wireless printers for the iPad?

    YOu may also want to consider that some printer manufacturers have apps you can use to print, and there are third party printer apps you can also use. So really, in theory, any wireless printer will work with an iPad. If it's airprint enabled it'll work natively, if it's not air print then you use their app or a third party app, so you can potentially expand your search to find a good printer that meets any specs you have (speed, or quality or ink cost) and then work with it to make it print with your iPad.

  • 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.

  • What is the best wireless router for my imac G4

    i need a wireless router for my imac g4. Which one do you recommend? All all wireless routers capatible with macs?

    As Donald mentions, the routers are all compatible with Macs, but the software CD that they include often has Windows specific software on them that is really just a front-end for configuring the router for use. It does nothing that you cannot do yourself manually by accessing the router through the IP address that gets you into the router settings.
    If it sounds difficult, it certainly is not. Once you are in - and that is simple - the router's info is in a nice graphical interface that is simple to use.
    I use a Netgear WGR614 for my mixed Mac-PC network at it works like a charm. I got it at Best Buy for $39.99.

  • What's the beste wireless router for ADSL?

    Hello everyone,
    Since I'm new to the Macworld, I'd like to know what's the best wireless modem to the Macbook. I've been looking forward to the Netgear one, but other options like D-Link that are lesse expensive.
    So, what's the best option for connection speed, usability and easy setting up?
    Thanks in advance!

    Just stick with the netgear if you could instead of D-link, a bit pricier is better than pulling your hair out to configure whats wrong...
    I use 2 netgear and both work very well. 11b at home and 11 g at the office.
    Just remember overtime you might have to set it up the internal configuration (depend on the isp provider) and you might be able to set it up by connect and using pc and with supported web browser like internet explorer to access the web based configuration setting by typing their default ip address.
    Good Luck.

  • 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 wireless router for use with Powerbook 15"

    Not everyone uses the Apple Airport, and some who do have mixed feelings about the various models.
    What is the best wireless router, from any manufacturer, for use with an AlBook? What has the least problems, most reliable, strongest signal, fewest drops, best range, etc in your experience.

    Joeski,
    I'll have to get back to you on what card my wifes laptop is using. I think it's a 802.11a/g, but I will confirm. My Powerbook 1.67 has the built in wireless card and to be honest, I have never looked to see what it uses.
    We have our D-Link router set up for WPA2.
    Neither her or I have had any issues when we have had to connect anywhere to any other wireless network and when I come home, I can connect back to my router automatically since my network is set up on my Powerbook as my 1st network of choice in connecting.
    As far as replacing the antenna, I really dont know. It's has 3 antennas on it and I get a great signal, so I never thought about replacing it.
    Hope this information is helpful to you!

    what is the best wireless printer for a macbook pro?

    I use an Epson NX430 (inkjet) which uses a wireless card: no issues. Also a Brother HL-3040 (laser) connected to modem by Ethernet cable: no issues. Depends on your printing needs and amount of work space available.

  • Best router for the job

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone had a proposition to resolve this situation:
    i work in a small office (10 employees, 1 server)
    presently, our internet goes trough a linksys router and a linksys switch with power over ethernet
    ... ITS HORRIBLE... I keep having to reset the router and the internet is not constant (programs such as ichat keep connecting and disconnecting)
    my firmware is up to date
    does anyone have a better proposition as far as equipement for this type of setup? I was thinking airport extreme maybe? would it be enough?
    thanks
    JM

    I would like to add two more points:
    You also need to consider the type of Internet link you have. If you have a slow 1.5Mbit DSL line, even 20 people are downloading large files simultaneously, you are still going to be fine, since your bottleneck is in the slow DSL line. If you have a leased line, and manage some web servers in-house, that could be taxing for the little Apple router.
    The other thing you have to consider is what type of office you're going to be covering with the wireless network. Are you in an open floor office (easy) or old brick building (hard)? Apple have always put styling above functionality, and they have always hidden the antennas inside the box. As result, there is very little you can do to shape the radio waveform.
    Click Here for a good explaination of different types of antenna and their signal shapes (including the Airport built-in one). As you can see, Apple has a very short range, but it's placement is not very critical. If you need the flexibility of having external antennas, then Apple is not for you either.

  • Best Wireless router for Macbook?

    I currently have a linksys wireless router, which I'm beginning to find out will not support my Macbook in using the wireless airport network I have.
    Has anyone used another wireless router (other than Airport/Airbase) that works well and is easy to install for wireless connections?
    All suggestions welcomed and appreciated.
    Thanks!

    You asked which is the "best." That would be the Airport Extreme Base Station.
    All third party routers should work, and they are all pretty easy to install if you read the user manuals.
    You did not tell us what LinkSys model you have, but most of their routers have worked well with Macs. It's possible you may only need a firmware update for the router. Check with LinkSys. Also check with their tech support to see if they have a solution for you.

  • Best wireless router for MacBook pro

    I have a new MacBook pro. I've been online (wirelessly) for weeks but now I can't get online, or if I do, I get kicked off if I try to change pages. We have several iPads which I'm on now, several windows based laptops, and a windows pc. The wireless router is plugged into the pc. Everything but the pc has problems getting online and staying online but now the Mac is the only one that cant. I've reset the router, changed ports, restarted everything so many times I can do it in my sleep. We have D-link as the router. I'm thinking that's the problem but it's only 9ish months old and has been working until now. We have comcast. Help!

    Thanks everyone for responding!
    I asked one of the workers at Best Buy about wireless routers and he suggested this one or D-Link. As well, he mentioned that it didn't really matter on what brand it was but I trust Linksys since it is with Cisco. I had a Cisco computer before I got into college with a mac.
    I ended up buying a Linksys E2000. I live in residence so it made sense for me to get that one. It was an easy set up and really fast. The E2000 is 1 level higher than the E1000. In the beginning the guy suggested the E2000 but I asked if I were to get a higher one, he suggested E2000. It took about maybe 5-10 mins to completely set it up.

  • Best wireless router for iMac G5 and MacPro?

    Hi
    I am looking for a router to connect the following to a network:
    iMac G5 with Airport Extreme
    MacPro (Ethernet, wired connection)
    The broadband connection speed is 8 Mb/s. I also want the option to add a (Windows) laptop to the network (wirelessly) at some point so I need Mac and Windows compatibility.
    Can anyone recommend a suitable router. I hear the Netgear ones are good.
    Thanks

    Have you considered the new AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) as a choice?

  • Which is the Best wireless card for the MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard?

    I have the Option GT Ultra Express on AT&T, but ever since I upgraded to snow leopard every update has been messing it up and I'm more than done with this card, Ill even switch carriers if I have to, what cards are the best to use? and who has been having the best performance with theirs?
    I guess I should also add that I'm in New York, reception would be an issue too, I get between 2 and 3 bars at my desk and would like to stay with that.
    Message was edited by: NeoMental

    I'm sorry, but isn't the Option GT Ultra Express an ExpressCard you plug in to the left side port on your MBP to gain wireless access when your AirPort card doesn't work in a given location?
    if so, the only difference between that and the dongle that I described is that the dongle uses the USB instead of ExpressCard format.
    I'm sorry if I misunderstood.
    It would also help if you could describe the exact nature of the problem. There are topics here that address Option brand drivers issues with links to updated drivers that are supposed to work with SL.
    Without more info, I'm afraid I can't suggest much else.
    Cheers, mate.

  • Best wireless router too share Verizon Wireless USB720 connection?

    Our connection with Verizon Wireless via USB720 modem on an older Imac keeps dropping because we us that via airport to connect 2 other Macbooks. In research, I guess it's because airport and EVDO share a similar RF. Anyway, I need a wireless router for the USB720, and I don't have a clue where to start. What's the best router? Am I going to have to install the VZ Manager for the USB720 on the router, via the Imac?

    check out the 3G/cellular routers from Cradlepoint.
    The best one for home use is the http://3gstore.com/MBR1000 because of its WiFi N wireless range.
    You won't use/need VZAM. you connect via airport or ethernet cable to the MBR1000
