I am looking for a fast  gigabit router

I am looking for a fast gigabit router that has mac supported software. I see lots of vendors selling mac routers, but not fully supporting them. Not that I ever use any of the boxed software, but I would like a company that is mac savvy.
thanks,
sleeper

If you are patient, it appears that the new Airport Extreme base station is a gigabit ethernet router according to the new iMac's press release:
http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2007/08/07imac.html
"Build-to-order options and accessories include: a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme processor, up to 4GB DDR2 SDRAM and up to a 1TB Serial ATA hard drive on the 24-inch iMac; up to 4GB DDR2 SDRAM and up to 750GB Serial ATA hard drive on the 2.4 GHz 20-inch iMac; and up to 4GB of DDR2 SDRAM and up to 500GB Serial ATA hard drive on the 2.0 GHz 20-inch iMac. Additional options include: new Apple Wireless Keyboard and wireless Mighty Mouse; *AirPort Express® and AirPort Extreme Base Station (now with Gigabit Ethernet);* the AppleCare Protection Plan; and pre-installed copies of iWork™ ’08, Logic® Express 7, Final Cut® Express HD 3.5 and Aperture 1.5. "
Take a copy of that to the store, and ask them when their stock of Airport Extreme base stations will include that.

  • New Mac user, new to Wireless - looking for recommendations on a router

    Hello all! I am new to Macs, and to wireless in general. I just bought a used Powerbook which of course has wireless capability. So my next step will be to set up a router. However, I have no experience with this, and am definitely not a computer geek at heart. So I am looking for recommendations on a router/wireless network system that seems to work well with Macs (and PC's as I now have both) and doesn't require vast amounts of computer networking knowledge to set up and get working. What works well? What should be avoided? Many thanks for your input! (Oh, if it makes any difference, my internet connection is DSL.)

    I would strongly recommend the AirPort Extreme. Its simple, doesn't do much but it does the job perfectly. It never drops out and the distance of the signal is far (you can be online in your back and front yard). And its really easy to setup. And it works with both systems. But I do recommend getting a new one instead of a used one because you'll need the newer version of AirPort Assistant to set it up because older version of Tiger doesn't have that programme pre-installed.

  • How can i move ALL of my Iphoto/aperture pictures from the internal hd to a external hd at one session?  just need to how to do this. (I know this is a long process; just looking for a faster method).

    looking for a way other than post and click. 

    I'm not at all sure what you mean by "post and click", but if you wish to move your entire iPhoto Library, then follow these steps:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2506
    As far as I know, you can set up Aperture to access its library on an external drive; I tried to find some info for you and found this support site for it - you might want to check it out. Also, you might want to check the manual on how to move the library.

  • Looking for a compatible wireless router

    I have a Macbook and id like to hook it up to a secure wireless router.
    Anyone have any advise on what to get, anything but Linksys please.
    I was looking at the Netgear Rangemax 240 11G 240mps 2.4ghz Router Wep/WPA2 4port 10/100 switch.
    Seem like a decent wireless router for apple?
    Thanks in Advance~

    I have no idea how reliable this information is... (warning)
    I was told that Linksys routers do not work reliably with the MacBook and MBPro. One Apple technician told me he was working on a way to get around the problem.
    The reason I was asking about routers is because the Netgear router I currently use drops the signal now and again. Talk about frustrating! However, since I re-arranged the position of the router, cable modem and VOiP box, the drop outs have stopped.
    By the way, the same people told me that D-Link routers work well with MacBooks.
    To the previous poster on why NOT to consider Apple's Airport... How about the price tag? I would have one in a heartbeat if they were sold at a reasonable price. $200 compared with an average of $40 for any reliable router is enough to swing my pocketbook.

  • Look for a Good VPN router

    I trying to find a wireless router that has VPN tunneling capabilities as well as Good for gaming. And will also allow me to access my home internet while traveling .

    Look at www.polarcloud.com/tomato, in the FAQ, you will find a list of supported routers....get one of those (WRT54GL would be a good choice if you don't need Wireless N which isn't yet supported by Tomato anyway), then look at this thread for info on setting it up. The thread is lengthy, but it is worth it. The guys on Linksysinfo.org really know what they are doing.....
    This VPN uses OpenVPN (an open source VPN solution) which is as secure as any commecial solution, and very firewall friendly. It may look complex, but it really is quite easy to set up.... There is a (kind of) GUI for the OpenVPN client machines (openvpn.se).
    I think you will find it meets your needs.....

  • Looking for best modem and router

    My old modem is dying. Want to replace it with a modem/router combo. Have 2 cell phones, wireless DVD player which I use to view movies.
    Any recommendations would be appreciated.

    Is this for Verizon landline services?

  • Looking for descent, affordable wired router so I can hook up XBox 360-iMac

    I just got an XBox 360, and I'd like to use the XBox Live features. Could anyone suggest a dependable, wired router that wouldn't cost much more than fifty dollars? I really have no need to go wireless, and besides I'd have to buy the wireless adaptor for the XBox 360 if I did. There's also usually at least one or two Bit Torrents running on my G5 iMac.
    More importantly, I'd like to know if having the XBox Live online would interfere with the bit torrents running on the iMac, and should I expect to see a major decrease in upload/download speed on running torrents?
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Visit DealMac and see what router deal they have located. Typically in the Sunday paper you can find several for $20 or less after rebate.

  • Upgrading memory, all internal, not looking for the most expensive route though, suggestions?

    250 GB SATA Disk
    4GB
    ^ Installed
    I want to upgrade all

    You can certainly install a larger HDD - up to 1 TB. You can expand RAM to 8 GBs: Two - 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMMs to replace what you now have.
    Visit OWC to find both drives and memory upgrade kits as well as tutorials for replacing.
    You can also install their Disk Doubler that lets you replace the optical drive with a second internal drive that can be either a HDD or an SSD.

  • Looking for a new hard drive for my MacBookPro 5,2 (17" 2009 Unibody) : hybrid from seagate or a 7200rpm ?

    I am looking for a faster and higher capacity hard drive for my 2009 unibody MacBookPro 17".
    I wonder if I should go for a SSHD from Seagate model ST1000LM014 or for a standard HD but with 7200RPM.
    I am worried about the reliability of the Hybride model from Seagate and if it is really that fast.

    Hi, I have dv9730ca laptop myself and I have 2 160GB seagate 5400rpm 8MB hdd's, they have an external data transfer rate of 300MB/sec and an internal data transfer rate of 1.1GB/sec. They do get up to around 55oC (i use cpuid - hwmonitor to check this out) and I have heard using the 7200rpm hdd's can increase the heat output so I would recommend using the 5400rpm hdd's instead. The best way I have found to get over the heat issue from any laptop is to use a targus chillmat, it has 2 fans and runs off a usb port. I hope this info helps you out

  • Looking for  a geocoder

    Hi all,
    I am looking for a fast geocoder (as well as reverse geocoding)to work on a spatial street layer of nationwide extent. Does anyone have experience and any ideas what works the best.
    Thanks.
    Mattias

    Mapinfo MapMarker Plus should be a pretty good concerning the speed and easy usage, and I did geocoding and reverse geocoding all the time in many projects. Our company (Spatial Data), as an major VAR of Mapinfo products, can give you a good deal on that product. We are a partner of Oracle too, I don't know why it's not listed on the Oracle site. Drop me an email if you want to know more about it.

  • Looking for good firewall/router solution

    Hi.
    Im setting up a network and im wondering wich type of device i should use. The question is if i should use a firewall and a layer 3 switch for inter VLAN routing or if i should use a router solution with built-in firewall (like zone-based) and just layer 2 switches.
    Demands on the equipment:
    NAT
    Some QoS (dont really know on what level of complexity its going to demand, proberbly very low, just some form of QoS)
    Firewall solution
    Cost balancing or something between two Internet connections. So that traffic running on one can jump over i case of connection failing.
    4 gigabit interfaces (RJ45 should work but if i can get better for reasonable price im going with it).
    Hoping to get som input on this matter.
    Regards Tommy Svensson

    Tommy,
    An ideal solution for what your looking for would be either the rv120, wrvs4400n, or Sa500 series router and possibly an SG300 series switch in layer 2 mode.  This will allow the router to cover the vlan setup and intervlan routing if need be.  The switch will allow you to configure qos and you can trust the qos coming into the router on the lan side.
    The other option you could get gigibit router and put the sg300 series switch in layer 3 mode and let it handle the vlans and qos at that point.  The only thing about this setup, any router that is gigibit we have will be able to facilitate vlans and inter-vlan routing.
    Hope this gave you some ideas as to designing the network.

  • Looking for a wireless router / accespoint with radio time restriction

    I am looking for a wireless router / accespoint with a radio time restriction but didn't find any information about this option. Are there any routers with the option to turn off the wireless signal between a specific time?
    The router will be used at a small office .
    I hope you can tell me more.
    Cheers
    Michel

    Well there is No router which linksys/cisco manufacture that can stop the wireless signals to be broadcast for a specific time..
    However what you can do is you can get into the setup interface of the router and disable the SSID broadcast and that will stop the router to broadcast the wireless signals...and whenever you need to enable it you can just go back into the setup page of the router and enable the broadcast again.

  • Looking for a wireless router

    Is there any router that does not have to be connected to a main computer at all times? My roommates and I are looking for something we can essentially just plug in and we could get wireless service in our 2 story apartment.

    Basically any wireless router meets this description.  A main computer is only required for initial setup and configuration.
    I'm assuming you have wired cable or DSL service - most routers don't do dialup, and sharing dialup like this would be painful.
    You do need a cable/DSL modem that has an Ethernet port - unfortunately some only have USB ports.
