Is there a real increase of performance using a 802.11ac router with a MacBook Pro 13 Retina?

Hi guys!
First of all, sorry for my english. I'm trying to improve myself!
I would like to know if could be a smart choice to change my router with a "802.11ac" router. Is there a real increase of performance?
Right now i'm using a 10mb in download and 10mb in upload connection (fibre optic).
Thank you!
Rocco

Your download speed from your ISP is not changed 10 MB download/upload speed.

Your transmit rate from router to computer will increase with simultaneous dual band 802.11ac
hold the option key and click on your WiFI  in the upper right screen to see a breakdown.
802.11n will be held back

  • Using a remote desktop connection with the Macbook pro.

    I use the remote desktop connection on the Macbook pro and am unable to exchange info between the mac and the remote connetion windows. For example, if I am writing an email from the remote connection and want to attach a document, photo etc. that I created on the Mac, it just doesn't work. It seems like the Mac and the desktop connection are completely seperated eventhough they are both on the screen in front of me. the systems I use for work are not Apple compatible and will not work on anything other than windows explorer and in my case the remote desk top connection. Any ideas!

    How do I use a philips PicoPix projector with my MacBook Pro

    depends what ports your projector supports. You do not give the exact model.
    The standard way is to use MiniDisplay (AKA Thunderbolt) port on your MacBookPro and use an adapter to
    ideally HDMI or DVI worst solution VGA.
    All depends what the projector has at the back.

  • Using Time Machine Backup Drive with NEW Macbook Pro

    I just got a new Macbook Pro. I migrated from my old MacBook Pro. Now I want to use my Time Machine Disk with this new machine.
    When I connect the external drive, and select back up now, it says there is not enough space (due to the fact this is a new machine and it wants to backup the entire thing)
    Also, when I go into the TimeMachine, it doesn't show me anything past today. . . all of my backups are not displayed over the past year. . .
    How do I make it so that the external drive displays all my old backups. . . ??
    Thank you for your help.

    Turn off TM or set the backup drive to null. Rename your computer in Sharing preferences to the same computer name of your old computer. Turn TM back on and reselect the backup drive. TM will behave as you expect. Of course if the file dates on the new machine are all changed since the migration, then TM will correctly assume that they require backing up. You will then find that there will not be sufficient space on the drive for the new backups. If this occurs then you should simply erase the backup drive and start your TM backup anew.

  • Can I use 4K monitor with my MacBook Pro Non-retina?

    I am considering to use 4k monitor for my MacBook. I have mid-2012 15" MacBook Pro. But I'm afraid that it will not perform as good as standard hd monitor. I'm wondering if any of you have tried using 4k monitor for your MacBook. Thank you.

    Won't work - at least not with 4K resolution.
    Supposedly, the late 2013 retina machines with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2GB GDDR5 memory will run 4K resolutions - but only in Windows 8, NOT in any version of OS X, yet.
    So you'll just have to buy a new Mac Pro or wait until Apple comes out with an OS that supports running 4K on a new MacBook Pro Retina and buy that.
    Sorry,
    Clinton

  • Can I use a touch screen monitor with my macbook pro?

    I am doing a lot of photo organization and thought it would be easier if I had a touch screen monitor attached to my macbook pro.  Has anyone tried this and if so, what brand did you use.
    Thanks
    Bob

    All a touchscreen is going to do is replace your mouse or trackpad, you can't use two hands at once to gain any speed advantage organizing photo's.
    Also it would have to be a pretty big touch screen, place your two hands over a 17" screen and most of the screen is blocked.
    If you need something like that, talk to Microsoft, they have a "Big @ss table" that does that.
    Gives me a backache just looking at those people

  • Is the level of protection from intrusion, malware, viruses, and trojans materially better when using a Sonicwall TZ 105 with a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8.5 than with a properly configured MacBook Pro alone?

    One of our IT engineers at work mentioned the security of our home networks could be substantially improved by using a properly configured Sonicwall TZ 105 with the comprehensive security option (sold as a separate item from the Sonicwall hardware). I am interested in the experiences and advice of any MacBook Pro users who have such a device in their home networks. Is the protection the device and the add-on monitoring afford that much greater than that of a properly configured MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.5, and in general, even if the security provided is significantly greater, is it necessary for the home user or is it overkill?
    Thank you

    Did you ever find out what to do, this has happened to me too.  Apple support could not help as the machine was not recognising the safestick.
    Also I am concerned that even if I fix it then the person I want to give it to will also have the same problem.

  • Can i use multiple dvi monitors on the 2012 macbook pro (non-retina)?

    What is the best way to connect two Dell DVI monitors I already have with my new 15" MBP (non-retina)?

    You could purchase 2 mini displayport to DVI adapters ($30 ea) and use the 2 Thunderbolt ports. I have one external DVI monitor connected to 1 of my Thunderbolt ports. Works great!
    Sorry my mistake. You said non-Retina.

  • Why does my screen get cropped when using my 30" Dell 3008 WFP with my MacBook Pro 15" Retina?

    I'm using a standard HDMI to HDMI connection and it's cropping my screen down (on the dell monitor) by roughly 10 percent or so. It cuts off the whole top File/Command bar as well as the little icons at the bottom...

    Lincoln, I tried switchres but without any good results. You mentioned getting an adapter and another hdmi from monoprice earlier but your link didn't work. Any chance you could explain what you meant?
    Shootist, whenever I hit the option key down the only change is the "Gather Windows" tab at the bottom right corner of the window changes to "Detect Displays", but neither of them seem to do anything when I click on it... so frustrating.
    Also, I have yet to find a "Extended Desktop" option that I hear about on these forums. Still, whenever I deselect the Mirror option, it does produce an extended desktop (even if that expression is curiously never used on my comp) however when i try to change its settings it won't let me go past 1920 by 1200 even though the monitor is supposed to go up to 2560 by 1600 I believe...
