Extrenal wifi router compatibility

Hi!
I want to buy cheap external wifi router for my Mac mini G4.
I found "D-Link <DI-524> AirPlus G Wireless Router (802.11b/g, 2.4GHz, 4UTP 10/100 Mbps, 1WAN)" in nearest to me store. Is it compatible with Mac OS and will work just fine?

It should work fine. The only problem is setting up some of these routers requires using a web browser connection to the router's routing address, and some routers use non-standard webpage design. See these optional web browsers for the Mac I list, if you find Safari doesn't work to setup the router:

Time Capsule & ATT Uverse 2Wire WiFi Router Compatibility

I recently made the switch from ATT DSL to ATT Uverse for my internet service. With Uverse comes a 2Wire wifi router. I was told Uverse would be faster. I haven't noticed faster connectivity to web pages, however some web sites now have some hang time before they load. They didn't with the DSL, that I noticed. Just for info my current download speed is 1427 kbps and upload is 942 kbps (speed test server 90 miles out).
To get the 2Wire to work with the TC, I placed the TC in bridge mode. Both devices are coupled with CAT5. Both iMac and iPod Touch use the TC network name to access the net. When I try to log directly into the 2Wire network name it won't allow it. States password is incorrect, but I meticulously enter the correct password. When I disconnect the CAT5, the 2Wire devise disappears as a network choice and the TC stops functioning too.
With the exception of the hang time on some websites & iTunes Store, everything is working (to include wifi printer & Time Machine back-ups). Is there a better way to pair up these to wifi devises?

Hi Bob,
"Do you know what speeds you should be getting?"
I don't, however I do know I am not subscribed to the top tier of service. When I don't experience any hang time, the speed compares to the DSL I had prior.
"assume you have the green light."
Yes, the light is green and the hourly back-ups are performed.
"When the 2wire was originally set up by AT&T, did you use your iMac to enter the password, or was another computer used at the time?"
The iMac was used to enter the password (found on the side of the 2Wire device) and this was performed wirelessly. I then changed the password. When the tech left I was on-line with the 2Wire and the TC was blinking yellow. I called Apple Care and they helped me put the TC in bridge mode, and had me connect it to the 2Wire. During the process I needed to enter the 2Wire password. I kept getting an error message with the password I set and the default password. I then had to call ATT. While on hold I kept attempting to enter the new password and it actually accepted it. I finished pairing the wifi devises.
The WifiTrak app on my iPod shows the signal strength of the two devices. The 2Wire always has a stronger signal strength. My iMac & iPod use the TC network. If I manually choose the 2Wire, it never accepts the password. When I choose these two networks on my iPod in settings, the TC shows the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, and DNS. These fields for the 2Wire are all blank.

Ac WiFi router compatibility.

Hi.I have a MacBook Pro 17" 2009,
Processor 2,66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo,
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM,
storage 320 gb,
OS X 10.9.5 (13F34) with an AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x8D) card, 802.11 a/b/g/n compatible.
I want to know if this card supports an AC WiFi connection from an AC66U Asus WiFi dual simoultaneous 2,4/5 ghz band router.
Thanks

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.

Thanks for responding.
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.

Wifi router reccomendations

Looking to purchase a wifi router for my iphone 3GS. Can you all chime in with models you've had luck with? Looking to get a 802.11g type.
*One other thing, would it a faster connection getting a "g" or an "n" and running it backwards? (I read that most n models are backward compatable with g and b version adapters)
Thanks.

So given this information would a dual band with N do anything for me?
Not right now, but if you were to get the new iphone(it supports "N") or purchase a new laptop, you'd be glad you bought an "N" capable router. Do what you want/fits your budget. You asked for recommendations, I gave you mine.

Satellite L300 - After XP installation it can't find the WiFi router

After insatlling XP SP1 and insatlling many drivers all except for WLAN works. I did install the drivers and i did install Atheros for managing my connections, but It seems not to even find the wifi router.
I'm using toshiba satellite l300 pslbce.
PS! I had the laptop running on Ubuntu berfore, worked fine.

Yes, installing SP2 is very important on newer laptops since so much changed from SP1 to SP2
Here is some info found on Wiki:
SP2 added new functionality to Windows XP, including an enhanced firewall, *improved Wi-Fi support*, such as WPA encryption compatibility, with a wizard utility, a pop-up ad blocker for Internet Explorer 6, and Bluetooth support.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_XP#Service_Pack_2
Going from SP2 to SP3 is not a big step, but since SP3 is basically a compilation of hotfixes since SP2, you should install SP3 as well for security reasons.

I have an wireless printer and a new wifi router. I have set the printer and iPhone / iPad correctly to the new router but when i try to print it won't recognise the air printer. Help. All was working fine on my old router

I Have a new wifi router and have set up my iPad / iPhone and wireless printer correctly to the new router but I can't print from the iPad and iPhone. It keeps saying ' no AirPrint printer found'. Help please!

Start with the most basic thing that you can try. Unplug the router from power for about 30 seconds, and restart the printer and the iPad and plug the router back into power.

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.

Using Remote app on iPhone 5 without a separate internet connection and wifi router.

Hi,
I need to be able to control iTunes within my MacBook Pro remotely. Using my mobile broadband service and wireless router I've been able to get the Remote app to allow my iPhone 5 to do the job nicely through Home Share. So I went and bought a separate WiFi router and tried to do the same thing. Of course when it didn't work, I discovered that I need an internet connection and WiFi network to make the Home Sharing work.
So I got to thinking, can I create a WiFi hotspot using the Personal HotSpot functionality of my iPhone, set up Home Sharing on phone and MacBookPro and then use the Remote app. Ideally this would work as it seems all the key components are in place.
The MacBook Pro accepts the iPhone hotspot as a means of Home Sharing, however the iPhone won't use the personal hotspot to Home Share and I can't connect to the iPhone personal hotspot on the iPhone itself.
Does anyone know how to make this work for me? It would be such as neat solution if I can get it to work - not to mention the potential to save me about $200 (I need to set this model up for two people).
Cheers
Kathy

Same trouble here, iPad 2 with latest OS and remote app, iPod with latest OS and app.

My apple tv mirroring is slow. So slow it shuts off. Any thoughts on cause? I use this device in my office for presentations without a problem. In my home with a stronger wifi router, I'm having issues.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

EPrint does not work after new wifi router on Verizon DSL

I have been using ePrint on my iPod, iPad, and iPhone for a few months without a problem, but recently had to switch to a new wifi router on my Verizon DSL, as my wifi kept turning off and Verizon's solution was an updated wifi router. Since the switch, I cannot ePrint from my mobile devices. I can, after reconfiguration, print from my laptops. The ePrint app still finds the Deskjet 3050a, says "sending to printer", but will not print. The ePrint is turned on. I tried to delete the app and reinstall in hopes that I can start fresh, but it still does not work. I tried to add a new printer, with the email supplied on the ePrint screen on the printer, but nothing.
Any ideas?

Hi Honor Student
Is your printer connected to the new router as it sounds like it is still looking for the old one ? Maybe just disconnect it and reconnect it again to your new router and then the ePrint APP should pick it up.
I work for HP.
Thanks

Retina macbook pro can't auto connect to wifi after wifi router rebooted

My macbook pro with retina can’t automatically connect to wifi after the wifi router was rebooted. There is exclamation mark on wifi sign. As I clicked the wifi sign, it shows no Internet connects. However, It is strange there is a tick in front of my wifi name. In order to use wifi, I had to click off wifi, and then click on. The previous version, Macbook pro, has no problem like this. I had deleted all files under wifi library, but still fail. Appreciating for any way to solve it!

How can I tell Apple to store my MAC-address of my Wifi Router in there location DB?

Hello
Recently I bought a new Wifi Router and when I use the Maps App it tells that my ipad is located in China (Shangai)
When I also want to use the automatic timezone feature in the preferences app it indicates that my ipad is in China (Shangai)
I have already searched for a number of discussions (in and out the Apple Support) and their I found that the problem is in a location DB managed by Apple (crowd-sourced database). It seems that my Wifi Router is registered with a wrong location. :-(
my questions :
.- is the somebody that can give me a procedure (certified by Apple) how I can update this location DB?
.- How can I store my Wifi Router MAC address with the correct location in this DB?
Already thanks in advance
Kindly regards

I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list.

I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list. I've confirmed the mac address is included on that list and that the password is correct. Under choses netwrok I select the network and it just goes into a spin. I have tried removing the password and the access list settings and it still will not complete the connection to the router thus no internet access. The routers firmware is also up to date. This thing worked fine before this update and I've already tried to restore from backup. Any ideas or is the wifi nic bad in this thing with the new apple firmware update? Any fix?

Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

I installed a new wifi router and airport will not connect automatically to it. It sees the network but will not connect unless I tell it to.

I installed a new wifi router and airport will not connect automatically to it. It sees the network but will not connect unless I tell it to. I can't find anywhere in the utility or network preferences that will allow me to choose this router as the default. How do I fix this? BTW I'm using Lion.

Are there any previous networks that you have used that have the same password as Molly? YES
Using System Preferences > Network > AirPort Advanced again, you need to remove any listings of previous networks that used the same password as Molly. Click the name of the network and click the - (minus) button at the bottom of the list of connections.
Also delete any other networks (except Molly at the top of the list) that might have used the same name...Molly in the past.
Delete any other networks that you no longer need so that your Mac will search for networks more quickly
Click OK, then click Apply
Open KeyChain Access and look for a listing of any old networks that you no longer need. Click to highlight the name of the network, then click the Delete Key on your computer.
Then look for any old networks that might have used the name Molly in the past and do the same for them.
Then look for any old networks that might have used the same password as the password for your "new" Molly network and delete them in the same way
Click the KeyChain Access menu just next to the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the computer screen
and then click KeyChain First Aid
Enter the main administrator password for the Mac you are using and highlight the Repair button. Then click Start. You will see a message that repairs have been completed
Quit Keychain Access
Power down the entire network...all devices...order is not important
Power up the modem first, then your main router, the other devices one at a time
Log on to Molly and see if the Mac remembers it after a few tries. If not, I'm afraid that you will need to change the name of the wireless network and password on your router due to corruption issues on the Mac. You have done everything possible without re-installing the complete operating system.
