IMac20" (g) MacBook Pro (n) Netgear (Draft n)

So I have an intel 20" iMac, a 15" MacBook Pro which I have paid the $2 to get the n on, and a Netgear wireless router with a Draft N on it. When I network the two computers together wirelessly and try to transfer files I literally am getting about 1 meg a minute in transfer speed. I would actually be faster for me to upload the files to my idisk from the one computer and download them on the other.
So I'm looking for someone who's smarter than me to give me a suggested place to start. The Netgear site is worthless. I'm thinking it's a router setting.

Macbook Pro 13'' late-2011 not connecting to Virgin Media netgear wi-fi router

Having recently bought myself a shiny new macbook pro 13'' running the very latest Lion OS it was really disappointing when I started experiencing wi-fi issues. A google search from my PC (which was still connecting fine) uncovered a load of threads and posts about Macbooks not playing ball with third party routers. There were loads of workarounds suggested and I didn't know where to start.
My macbook had connected fine for the first couple of weeks but then wi-fi started dropping in and out, internet and iTunes we really slow and kept freezing, macbook said it couldn't connect to network ("connection timeout") and even told me my network password was invalid (which it wasn't).
I called the guys at Apple Care and they were great. After 1/2 hour on the phone I had changed the DNS so the two addresses showed: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. (under advanced network options) then manually logged into my netgear router and changed the channel to 11 (it was on Auto) and it's now all sorted. I'm not a technie by any means but Apple Care talked me through everything. Just give them a call and it shouldn't be too hard to fix.

If the MBP was purchased within the last year take it to the Apple store
or contact Apple. There are few threads in this site dealing with the same issue.
There is no single sure shot step to correct this problem.
May be you can go through those discussions and find a solution.
Best.

Connecting airport extreme, netgear dsl modem, windows 7, and Macbook pro

I'm having a problem connecting my airport extreme to my netgear modem, windows 7 pc and my Macbook Pro. Until a few days ago, I had a Westell wireless dsl modem and everything worked fine. Now, the only way I can connect to the internet is through my desktop pc and the hardwired modem.

If your goal is to extend/boost the range of your Netgear router with either or both of the AirPorts, this will not work wirelessly ... at least, not completely by wireless. That is because, WDS is not standard and each manufacturer has had creative license to implement it as they see fit for their products.
Instead, you have at least two other choices to use the Netgear (as the main Internet router) with the AirPorts:
Connect one AirPort directly to the Netgear by Ethernet, and then, configure both AirPorts for an extended wireless network. In this configuration, you would be running two separate wireless networks; one created by the Netgear, and the second the extended network created by the AirPorts.
Connect both AirPorts directly to the Netgear by Ethernet, and then, configure all of the routers for a roaming network. In this configuration, there would be a "single" wireless network where wireless network clients can literally roam from one router to another and still be on the "same" wireless network.

MacBook Pro with Draft n card - not showing n

I just got a Dell 1500 draft n card for my CoreDuo MacBook Pro. I installed it and the n enabler utility, but it is still not showing up as n compatible in Network Utility.
I have installed the AirPort Base Station Updater, repaired permissions, rebooted, installed the n enabler again, etc. But still no joy.
Any ideas?
Phil

Are you sure the enabler ran? Early reports said that the enabler would not run on a Macbook CoreDuo. However it worked fine for me for the when I installed the "n" card for the Macpro in my Macbook CoreDuo.
Check out the following
http://xlr8yourmac.com/systems/macbookprowireless_N_upgrade/macbookpro_N_cardinstall.html#storytop
Others say you need to use Pacifist to extract and run the enabler on a CoreDuo (again check the article). Also I have read somewhere that you can edit the installer to change a parameter value so that it will run on a core duo (I tried to find it but couldn't).
Don't give up - I have a great increase in range and speed. I was able to replace an old Airport extreme and 2 airport expreeses with a single new airport extreme.
Good luck.

Netgear DG834GT Wireless Conectivity Issues with MacBook Pro

Just purchased a Macbook Pro (my first MAC !!!) and I can't get it to connect wirelessley to my Netgear Router using any of the encryption options. I connect using WEP to my Windows Notebook and can connect the MAC using the cable but need to connect wirelessly . Help please in words of one sylable

Can it connect with WEP or WPA disabled? Don't worry a band of rogues will not descend on you for the 5 minutes you check that out. Diagnose if it works at all first. If you have then say so.
Try preceding the WEP key (which I presume is F6D3A0C2...etc.) with a $ sign.
Note WEP can be broken in under 5 minutes so you are using really poor security. WPA works on your mac and is so much more secure, and the pass phrase (e.g. my dog spot and cat harry have blue feet) are easy to remember and type in.

Macbook Pro w/retina and Netgear router hurdle

I have a macbook pro w/retina OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 and have been using a NETGEAR router for my home wifi network. Now I find myself having to reset the router which requires an ethernet connection, which of course, my system does not have. Anyone know of a work-around? And please don't simply tell me to get the airporter, and other apple hardware. Sorry but at the moment those items are not affordable and the Netgear Router was a birthday gift and new. All functions have been running smoothly until roommate moved out, changing all passwords and other settings in the router and not bothering to inform anyone of the changes. So I have to reset and reconfigure the router. Both tech support and manuals say to do so requires an ethernet connection, which I don't have...

Can you afford a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter? A bit over $28.50? If so, you could probably use a small inset button on your router to reset to factory settings and then take control of the router via Ethernet.
Just a thought...

Can't connect to netgear wifi with macbook pro

I have a Netgear N900 router and although I can find the signal I cannot connect to the wifi. Each time I clicked on it, it would fail to connect and say to move closer to the router. However the router has already been upgraded to make the signal strong enough to reach my room. I have tried restarting the router and it has not worked. I have gone into the router through my browser and reserved an IP address and changed my network settings on my computer to "using DHCP with manual address" and entered the reserved IP address. I restarted my computer but now my macbook pro says that it is connected but I can't connect to the internet when i open a browser. I'm not sure if I'm not reserving the IP address correctly or if there is another solution to this problem. If anyone has encountered this problem and found a solution that would be amazing. I have been trying for a month now to fix this. Thanks!

Having trouble on setting up a MacBook Pro to a Comcast Netgear router?

Hi,
As I understand, you would like to add custom refiner to refinement panel in search.
From the screenshot, you intended to add vendor name property to search refiner. I cannot find the crawled property in my environment, is it an crawled property converted from custom site column?
Here is an good article for
adding refiner in SharePoint search 2013, and it seems there is not much difference from your process. However, here are the things you could check:
RefinableString00 is in TEXT type, please make sure it matches your vendor name column.
Please try mapping all crawled properties related to vendor name to RefinableString00 and test the issue again.
Please try make managed property searchable as well.
You could also try your process on other default managed property and see if it works.

Macbook Pro won't operate with Netgear wireless router

In my setup, the macbook pro's physical IP address has to be configured in my router and that seems to be entered OK. However, the macbook won't work wirelessly via the router. The router uses 128bit hex WEP key and the macbook at first seems to accept the key even though it fails to function. When I go back to check the settings however, it seems the macbook is requiring a WEP password, not a key. Could this be the cause of my problem? How can I sort out this problem please? TIA .... Greg

First try with out a password. Then try a 10 digit WEP key.

Macbook Pro 15in Unibody Wi-Fi Drop and Stay Off / Total System Freeze

Hi.
Up until about two weeks ago I had no issues with my mac. Then I installed Lion and about two days later the following occurred:
Macbook Pro 15in Unibody - drops wifi connection with numerous routers and different locations. I turn Airport Utility off and it won't ever turn back on. Restart is the only option... Alternatively the mac will sometimes just freeze and I can't move the cursor or type at all. Booted into BOOTCAMP partition and that freezes as well.
So, now I have bought a new Solid State Drive and done a fresh install of Snow Leopard. About 5 seconds in and it froze again - so I restarted - and about 20 mins later the Airport Utility did the same issue, dropped the wifi and wouldn't turn back on after I turn it off.
Reset PRAM, Airport Utility did the same again. So far, touch wood, only the one freeze since the new HHD and PRAM reset...
ANY IDEAS AT ALL WHAT THE HECK THIS CAN BE? It is SO annoying I have been scouting the net but can't see an obvious solution. I have however been shocked at sooooo many cases similar to this with the Macbooks...
Thanks guys

Yes it will work just fine. I sell and set them up quite a bit with both PC's and Macs.
All N routers at the moment are all based on draft N protocol, even Apple's own Airport routers. So the Belkin N+ will work at N speeds if you set it to N mode only. Ofcourse for broad compatibility with all sorts of WiFi devices it is best to leave it in mixed mode.
For some background, i have used all sorts of makes of routers from Compaq/TrendNet (favourite)/Microsoft/Netgear (current favourite)/Dlink...and so on over the years, NOT any issues.
Apple's Airport extreme base stations (which are still draft N) aren't any more compatible than a Netgear or Belkin N router.

How do I add my Hotmail account to my Mail app on my MacBook Pro so that it synchronize automatically ?

Hi guys, I'm new to Mac. I know that you can add email accounts likeHotmail into your Mail app so that you can view, edit, modify, create and delete your emails and folders, etc. The questions I have are (1) can I see all the emails I have not just in the inbox but all the other folders as well just like if I was logging on to Hotmail via Internet Explorer ? (2) what happens if I read some emails, delete or move some emails, create new emails and send or save in draft, create or delete folders, etc in the Mail app on my MacBook Pro, will this synchronize and reflect the same on my Hotmail account if I was to logging via Internet Explorer ? How about the other way ? If so, how do I set it up on my MacBook Pro to do this automatically ?
I know that this doesn't work with Hotmail accounts on my iPhone 4 via the Mail app. Everytime I read an email or delete an email on my Mail app, it does not synchronize or reflect the same on my live Hotmail account when I logging via Internet Explorer.
Any help, guidance or advise would be appreciated. Thanks.

Edit: never mind, I was using the wrong password

Officejet Pro 8600 - Macbook Pro and Macbook Air will not print

Products:
HP Officejet Pro 8600
Macbook Pro (Mac OS X, Version 10.7.5)
Macbook Air (OS X, Version 10.8.2)
Question:
Why did my Macs initially print fine, but now will not print at all?
Full Story:
I have a wireless network at my house that consisted of a 30mb cable internet, Netgear 900n, HP Officejet Pro 8600, 2 Dell Laptops with Windows 7, a Lenovo Laptop with Windows 7, and Dell Tower with Windows 7 - All printed just fine.
The HP Officejet 8600 was added to my network about 2 months ago.
I added a Macbook Pro and a Macbook Air about 3 weeks ago. Both Macs printed just fine for about a week. Then suddenly they stopped. I spent about 2 hours on the phone with HP Service, and they finally said it must be my router. So I called Netgear. Netgear was useless! They wanted me to agree to charges for services before they would even discuss the issue.
Due to information provided by HP's service support, and because Netgear will not support their product, I promptly purchased a new router - an Apple Airport Extreme.
The Macs recognize the printer, will print if hardwired via a USB cable, but will not print wirelessly to the Officejet Pro 8600. The PCs print fine.
The frustration that is being felt is compound by the fact that the Macs printed just fine with the Officejet Pro 8600 2 weeks ago, and now the printer just shows "idle"... even with a new router. (see image below)
Please help, I appreciate any support.
As a side note, the HP Service rep was very friendly, and definitely tried to support the HP Product, which is much more than I can say about Netgear.
Thank you,
This question was solved.

Hi,
More likely the issue related with Multicast, which Apple devices relies on to communicate with teh device through the network.
First try unplugging the router for 30 seconds.
Plug it back to the power and wait for 2-3 minutes.
Turn the HP printer Off and back On, then check for any difference.
If the same persists, try changing your router configuration as following
Note: the settings below are not related with the HP product, I provide you the steps as a best effor and those are only based on my own knowledge. you may try modifying the router settings at your own risk:
Open the router configuration page (can be found listed as the Default Gateway by clicking the Wireless icon on the printer, then print a network configuration report.
Click the Advanced tab.
Click the Setup option from the menu, then click on WAN Setup.
Make sure to uncheck the box next to Disable IGMP Proxying and Apply the changes.
Click the LAN Setup on the same Setup menu.
Set the RIP Version as RIP-2 and Apply the changes.
Reboot your router and then check for any change.
I hope you may find that information useful, you may also use the user guide below for further information:
