Can i use a belkin wireless g router with an iMac

can i use a belkin wireless g router with an imac

It will work. The wireless card in iMacs (recent ones) work with n, g, and b networks. The g protocol is slower (54 mbs) versus n (130 mbs up to 300 mbs). My employer has hundreds of such access points and has been updating them all to n, but there are still some g routers they haven't gotten to, and they work fine. 54 mbs is not bad, it's about 5 megabytes/sec roughly. Typical actual throughput is lower than these numbers by ~ 50%, so doing a large Mac OS update download of 300 Megabytes would take about ~ 2 minutes with a g router, and maybe a bit less than 1 minute with an n router.

    People who need to SCAN & PRINT without a compatible driver from their manufacturer can use Apple's very basic "PRINT & SCAN" utility in System Preferences:
    Click the Apple menu ( ), and then click System Preferences .
    Click Print & Scan ( ).
    Click Scan , and then click Open Scanner .
    Click Show Details . The details of the scan display, including options to modify scan settings such as output type.Figure 2: Example of the Show Details scanning screen

  • Can i use time capsule as the router with sky broadband

    how do i use time capsule as the router. I contacted my internet provider  which is Sky who had no info other than to suggest trying a sky forum.

    It depends on the type of modem they gave you.. and if you can bridge it.
    I suspect you cannot use the TC in router mode with sky.. but tell us more.. if it is adsl and they accept pppoe then you can get it to work.. otherwise no.. just use the TC in bridge.

  • Can I use a Linksys EA 6900 router with Time Machine to do backup?

    Hello, I have a Linksys EA 6900 router.  I plugged in my WD Passport (formatted in Apple Mac format) 1 GB drive into the USB port and I can see it on the network, browse it etc no problem, but when I try to back up to it using Time Machine, it does not find it.
    Please help, thanks!!

    Backing up that way is not supported by Apple. There are tricks you can use to make it work, but you don't know if your backup will be of any use when you need it. Many people have found that using unsupported methods with Time Machine results in failure to restore when they need it.

  • Can't use my Samsung ML-2010 printer with this iMac

    The software download options from Samsung for Mac do not include ML-2010. I'm glad to have a new computer, but not happy that my printer is unusable with it. The printer is, however, compatible with my year-old Acer laptop. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Sorry, I don't have that printer to try it, but I'm fairly certain that the "Samsung GDI" open-source drivers will work (even they don't have the page updated to say 10.9)

  • Can. I use my MAC Mini in conjunction with my iMac?

    Can I use my MAC Mini in conjunction with my iMAC? I can not upgrade the OS of the iMAC due to software that I need and Lion does not support it.
    If I could bounce back an forth or use the software from the MAC Mini with the iMAC, this would solve my dilemma.

    Before I buy a networked drive can I use the airport to connect with an external
    USB drive and set both macs  use the  drive as a time machine
    Can you hook this up? Sure.
    Is is supported by Apple?  No.
    Some users report that this seems to work when they try it.
    Others....like me....have corruption problems anywhere from a few days to a few months after I set up a test....which I do whenever a new version of firmware or a new operating system becomes available.
    We cannot predict your results, so if you decide to try this, and your backups are valuable, you might want to have a secondary backup plan in place as well....just in case.

  • HT4628 I can not use the internal wireless card with my Mac pro 2012, I don't know if it is broken

    I can not use the internal wireless card with my Mac pro 2012, I don't know if it is broken. The problem is happen recently, I have to use an independent wireless card now. Thanks!

    When you enable Internet Sharing in OS X, you are creating a separate sub-net.
    There is no option to allow this to be a simple pass-through from Ethernet to AirPort (or the other way).
    The problem is easily solved by getting an inexpensive wireless router. You can replace your current router OR disable the DHCP server on the wireless router and allow the wireless clients to get an IP address from the current router.

    Hi, Kimberly. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If you mean a USB wireless dongle, the answer is yes (as long as it is Mac-compatible).

  • Can you use a Epsom wireless printer to print from an iPad

    Can you use an epson wireless printer to print from an iPaad

    Yes.
    Certain models are air print compliant, check your manual.
    If not I'm not sure if Epson  has an app, but there are third party printer apps such as Print n Share, Print Central and Printopia that should work for you (just to name the three most commonly recommended, there are plenty of apps so read the reviews and pick the one best for you)

  • Can i use a canon like 30 scanner with yosemite ?

    can i use a canon lide 30 scanner with yosemite ? i cannot load any drivers

    MissBea,
    You can probably use your Canon printer with your HP notebook.
    When connecting an HP printer to the computer, the printer works best when the printer software for that printer is downloaded and installed on the computer.
    I would suggest that you need to do the same for the cannon printer, that is, you should download and install the driver (software) onto the computer.   After you install the driver, and connect the printer using whatever means you have (wireless, USB, Ethernet), you should be able to control the printer from the computer.
    Instead of installing HP printer software, you will need to install the printer software for your cannon printer.

    It is a nice way to say “Thank You” for the help.

  • Can i use a cisco RE1000 range extender with airport extreme

    Can I use a Cisco R1000 range extender with airport extreme?

    Apple's "extend a wireless network" function appears to be a proprietary feature that will only work with other Apple routers.
    As far as we know, devices from other manufacturers are not compatible with this feature.
    Bottom line....It would be extremely unlikely that this would work, but it's worth a try if you already have the products in hand.
    Please post on your results.

  • Can I use my 3G from my Iphone with a hotspot to go on the internet with my Ipad (no 3G)?

    Can I use my 3G from my Iphone with a hotspot to go on the internet with my Ipad (no 3G)?

    That is called "tethering" and you would have to contact your wireless carrier to set it up and find out the costs.

  • Setting up D-Link DIR-615 wireless N router with a macbook pro

    Hello all.
    I am trying to setup a D-Link DIR-615 wireless N router with my macbook pro. I got the router, opened it, put in the startup CD, and nothing works.
    I went to the D-Link site and it says that the CD is not compatible with mac's, but to look on pages 10-15 in the user manual ( on the CD), which I did and found nothing related to setting up the router on my mac.
    So I'm at the very beginning (putting in the initial CD) of setting this up, and wondering how to do it. Can anyone guide me through it or point me to a thread or online description of how it's done. I have very little computer background but I can pick it up decently when I have to, so please help as I will be very grateful. Thanks,
    Jonathan

    Unfortunately as with most routers it will be a manual affair that is quite involved. The first thing is to connect to the router over ethernet, so you should connect the cable supplied between the computer and the router and turn the router on. Go to System Preferences and open the Network panel, make sure the DCHP setting is automatic, you should have a connection if it is already on auto, there will be numbers in all the boxes when connected. In the documentation for the router you should find an IP address for the web interface along the lines of 192.168.0.1 (this seems to be the correct one for D-Link), open Safari (or another browser if you want)put this number in the address bar and press return. There will probably be a request for password at this stage, this will be in the documentation or on the bottom of the router, fill it in and you will get to the web interface. You should then be able to follow the instructions in the router documentation to set it up. It should be fairly easy through the basic setup procedure as long as you know your internet settings.

  • Can I use more than one iTunes account with my apple TV?

    Can I use more than one iTunes account with my apple TV?

    That depends what you mean. If you mean can you purchase from more than one iTunes account on the Apple TV, then the answer is no. If you mean can you stream from more than one iTunes library, which use different accounts, then the answer is yes, so long as they both use the same ID and password for homesharing.
