Does a belkin pre-n router work well with a macbook?

Hello, I have a macbook and am going to purchase a wireless router. I've been looking at the belkin pre-n router and have read some great reviews, but none used a mac to test the router. So does anyone have experience with this router and if so, would you recommend it? (or does anyone recommend a different router?) Thanks.

Using a MacBook you would not gain any of the alleged benefits of using a pre-n router.
Performance wise, a MacBook would work just as well with any wifi certified 802.11g wireless router.

    Realize that people that aren't having problems tend not to "brag" that they're doing fine.  Those that are having problems are usually very vocal.  So a lot of the "bad reviews" may just be those that had a problem, not necessarily the real experience of the millions of people that are doing just fine.
    ...and I'm afraid to download it and my computer is 2009, yours runs smoothly?
    I'm running Lion fine on my 2008 MBP (4,1. 2.4GHz C2D, 4GB) and late 2009 Mini (2.0GHz C2D, 8GB.)  Minimum RAM for Lion is 2GB, but IMHO you really want 4GB.  If you have a lot of apps open (or have demanding apps like Photoshop,) then get more RAM if you machine can handle it.
    Also, make sure the rest of your apps or drivers are up to date before upgrading.  Incompatible drivers for things like printers and such are what I've found to cause a lot of stability problems.

  • Does the Panasonic AG-HMC150 AVCHD work well with FCE?

    My buying finger is poised over the "send" button so that I can buy a Panasonic AG-AMC150 AVCHD camcorder, but I read a couple of reviews which have given me pause.
    One says that FCE does not work well with this camcorder and I need a REaLLY powerful Mac or I am sunk.
    Yet another says that working with this 'corder's AVCHD and FCE is a pain in the neck.
    A little first hand knowledge would be an enormous help. Thank you.
    (PS They did not use the words 'sunk' or 'neck.')

    Sasha, once again, thank you.
    No questions, but for the sake of completeness, and to assist those who may read this thread, let me make a couple of comments.
    I like this camcorder, because of its features and price, and I am about to buy it. If I were doing event work, such as weddings, I don't think I would. I make family documentaries and scripted movies, so a shoulder mount is not important to me.
    I like to buy from Amazon. They sported a low price and I have always had an excellent experience with them. Their supplier is Willoughby's whom I looked up on Sellerratings.com. The reviews I read there led me to decide to buy nothing else from Willoughby's, just the camera, and to examine it carefully when it arrives to make sure that it is in its original sealed packing. I recommend that you check Sellerratings.com before placing an order, too. I trust Amazon, but I am sending off my order with some trepidation. I shall buy a larger battery and some SD cards elsewhere. (The battery that comes withe the camcorder seems to be universally despised.)
    Beware of the reviews on the Amazon site. A large number of them, mostly mis-spelled, are, to me anyway, suspiciously rapturous. No camcorder is that good. One reviewer said that the HMC150 changed his life. Really?
    The Panasonic site has a wealth of detail about this camcorder.
    I found some good and useful info on YouTube, too, particularly one video which showed a videographer using the this camcorder and explaining his set-up procedures step by step.
    Much about requirements and compatability can be seen in this thread. Thank you Sasha
    OK That is enough. Hope this was of some help.

  • Does APC's PowerChute V1.34 work well with Tiger?

    Has anyone loaded APC's PowerChute personal edition V1.34 software for Mac?
    Does it work well with Tiger/Leopard or cause problems?

    Although I installed the APC PowerChute 1.3.4 (the version that supports Intel-based Macs, which is what I have), I ended up trying to use the 'Energy Saver' tab-> UPS (settings) -> UPS.
    In there, I set it to have the computer :
    1) Shutdown the computer when it has been on UPS power for : 5 mins
    2) Shutdown the computer when the time left on UPS power is : 15 mins
    3) Shutdown the computer when the UPS power level drops to : 70%
    I unplugged the UPS from the wall and watched the timer tick down, and the battery capacity drain... it was unplugged for well over 10 mins (criteria 1 should have fired, but didn't), it went down below 10 mins left on UPS, based on the tool bar indicator (criteria 2 should have fired, but didn't), it went down to about 45% full (criteria 3 should have fired).
    Net result, I didn't wait for the Mac to crash, eventually, I lost in the game of chicken, and plugged the UPS back into the wall, with about 7 minutes of UPS time, 40% of UPS Battery Level, and having unplugged the UPS for about 10 minutes +.
    Why is the Mac not shutting down ?
    I do have the cable plugged into the UPS (APC UPS ES 650 G), and the other end is plugged into the USB port (I'm guessing I have that connected right, otherwise, the tab wouldn't show up in Energy Saver, and I wouldn't have the information about the UPS status available to me on the Mac).
    Help ?
    Thanks,
    Andy

  • Which Wireless Router works well with Satellite A200-401

    Just about to buy a Satellite A200-401 notebook can anyone suggest a good affordable wireless router that works well with this?
    steve

    Hm, thats a strange question because I doesnt depends on the machine, more on the installed wireless card. But usually a Netgear router is always a good choice...they are reliable, dont need much power and you can extend your network range with these special Nergear "Range externders".
    I have a Netgear WGR614 and it works like a charm, it has everything you need.

  • Does Office 2004 Student Teacher edition work well with our new MBP?

    Hello All,
    I have an older copy of MS Office 2004 for Mac: Student/teacher. Does it run well on our new MBP's?
    I also run iWork 09' but need Office for work. I have read online that the newest MS Office is not that good.
    Thanks

    Hi,Office 2004 is designed for PowerPC processors, so you have to use Rossetta to have it work with the new mbp, as it is based on Intel processors, and the performance may not be very satisfactory.
    Office 2008 is a Universal application and runs well on Intel Macs.

  • Does anyone recommend a flat screen monitor that works well with a MacBook?

    I bought my 13" MacBook about 3 years ago and often find that I need a bigger screen for working on some projects but like the smaller portable size of my laptop. I'm thinking a good sized flat screen monitor would work for me, but don't want to drop a grand on an Apple monitor. Any one have luck with other brands?
    I'm thinking 20 - 22". I mostly do my own marketing graphics and photography for my business and need to be able to work in Illustrator on a screen I can actually see things on. LOL!
    Thanks for any suggestions or reviews.

    Check out monitors on Newegg.com. They have customer reviews on each one http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=20&name=LCD-Monitors

  • Will bootcamp work well with new MacBook Pro 15-Retina?

    Am I going to have any serious limitations if I bootcamp the new MacBook Pro 2012 with Retina display?
    How will Windows 7 (or 8) look on the Retina display?
    Will the bootcamp installation provide Nvidia drivers for dedicated graphics chip?
    Any other limitations?

    I just loaded win7 via bootcamp on the macbook pro retina and after you install the bootcamp drivers, you can actually scale all the way up to 2880x1800.  Text is obviously smaller but if you set the text scaling to 150% it is readable - still on the small side.   Everything seems to work after you install the bootcamp drivers. There is a nvidia control panel that you can access to adjust settings as well.  Like within OS X, you can drive the retina display plus 2 external monitors and have all 3 displays functioning.  There are 2 things that are a bit quirky - 1) the backlit keyboard always turns back on for me after I reboot even though I turn it off before rebooting and 2) it gets toasty - I installed core temp and with all 3 screens going, and just running Windows Update and browsing the web, cpu temps got up to 195F.  Lowering the screen resolution and unplugging the external monitors seem to bring this down to 145 or so so it seems it's related to the nvidia gpu pushing the extra pixels to the various displays.  It definitely runs much cooler under OS X.

  • Acessing Video Chat via AIM on I-Chat - Belkin Pre-N Router

    Hi, has anyone been able to get iChat video via AIM to work with this router? Some posts were claiming iChat would not work at all with the PRe-N router *becuase of MIMO technology) but that is not the case for me. I am able to use iChat text chatting on AIM with no dofficulty at all , however, when I try to initiate a video chat and the other party accepts (or vice versa) , it does not work and offers to send a message to Apple tech Support.
    If anyones knows of any tricks to get the Belkin Pre-N router working for video IChats, please let me know. Apparently there are some port settings that need to be tweaked. Although I hardly use the Video feature of iChat, I would still like to try to get it to work. I like this router becuase of the extended range I get in the house compared to my previous router.
    Much appreciated!!

    Firstly, try disabling the firewall for both your Mac and router. Te router firewall is the usual culprit. Failing that, and turning them both back on, try moving your Mac into the router's DMZ. It's possible that the router's NAT isn't working so well and is, for instance, dropping UDP traffic.

    You need to inquire from your ISP which modems are compatible with their netwrok. They should give you a list.

  • Macbook and Belkin Pre-N Router

    I need some help. I have been using a Belkin Pre-N router over the last few years, and have ben happy with the product. The other day, I had to reset it, and, I also put the router on channel 11 because of possible router interference with other wireless homes on my street. This was with the help from Belkin support.
    The router is running excellent supporting two desktop computers running Vista Business, and XP Pro. There are two laptops running Vista Home Premium, and XP Pro. The wireless response is great. The activity level is minimum, with no more then 2 computer running at one time.

    My MAC is running slow in a wireless made, it was alway lightning fast, and I don’t know what to do to correct the problem.
    Some web site fill in quickly, other are very slow, and many times, I need to do a refresh to get the entire page displayed.
    Any thought on what might be the problem? I use Safari - version 3.2.1

Thanks in advance,
    Tom

    Pretty sure (not totally) that it may be the 10.5.6 update/safari rather than just the router - but that said, resetting the router might have dropped it to b, g, or or disabled the "n"... I mean, the router isn't operating at it's max speed. My iMac does pretty well on G.
    Windows did pretty well on B too, within 20-30 feet... as long as nobody turned on a light or anything harsh....
    Like I have a b-g router, so I set it to G manually rather than auto... which would drop it to b for the whole house if I inadvertently used a b setting on an older WAP.
    I kinda need to upgrade everything, on a one thing budget.. hmmm...
