What is the best wifi router?

what is the best wifi router? I have a netgear which required that I set my devices with static/manual IPs etc... and yet still losing connection at least once a day. Is airport express my best option to connect both apple and PC devices?

Sorry, but that would be difficult to answer. What is best for you will depend on a number of factors, including: current networking hardware, network environment, your budget, etc.
If you are sure that your current Netgear router is not working for you, I would recommend that you first establish you basic networking requirements. That is, what do you want your network to do? What area do you want for Wi-Fi coverage? What can your current networking clients support, both for radio mode (802.11g, 802.11n, or 802.11ac) and wireless encryption types (WEP, WPA, or WPA2)? Will you be streaming HD video content on your local network, and/or from the Internet? What bandwidth (download/upload) is your ISP providing you?
From there we might be able to make sum recommendations.

What is the best Wireless Router for ichat

Hi Guys,
I wonder if anyone can give me any advice from all your experience as to the best Wireless Router I should get in order to use ichat with a minimal setup hassle. I have a G5 and iBook both using Mac OS X 10.4.3 with an external ichat camera. I am based in the UK and use AOL UK on a 2meg broadband connection. Is there a router out there that has easy software to configure?
Thanks for your help!!!
Apple G5 and i Book Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I use A Linksys WRK54G which is Pack of the Wireless router and a laptop PCIAM (or what erver the name is ) card.
It give me UPnP, Port Triggering and of course good old Port Forwarding.
It gives me 4 ethernet ports as well as Wireless access.
It will handle PPPoE logins if the modem is in Bridge mode.
I have it set to have a Static Address Modem to Router and it is also not doing DHCP And therefore Static to the computer(s).
I would also look at what speed your Internet conection is likely to rise to in the next few years. Some devices can not handle the speeds offered in some places. So make sure it will handle the Uplink and Download speeds you want as well.

What's the beste wireless router for ADSL?

Hello everyone,
Since I'm new to the Macworld, I'd like to know what's the best wireless modem to the Macbook. I've been looking forward to the Netgear one, but other options like D-Link that are lesse expensive.
So, what's the best option for connection speed, usability and easy setting up?
Thanks in advance!

Just stick with the netgear if you could instead of D-link, a bit pricier is better than pulling your hair out to configure whats wrong...
I use 2 netgear and both work very well. 11b at home and 11 g at the office.
Just remember overtime you might have to set it up the internal configuration (depend on the isp provider) and you might be able to set it up by connect and using pc and with supported web browser like internet explorer to access the web based configuration setting by typing their default ip address.
Good Luck.

What are the optimum wifi router settings for ipad mini

My new iPad Mini WiFi access is really slow on my home WiFi network. All my other WiFi devices are working fine. I have a D-Link DIR655 Wireless Router - What are the optimum router setting to ensure compatibility with the iPad?

I'm having the same issue with a TP-LINK router.

What's the best wireless router?

I have a TiPBk G4 running 10.4.10, & my Linksys router just died. It was mod# WRT54G, using 802.11g. I understand there is a newer & faster standard, 802.11n. I have a basic airport card (don't think an extreme is even compatible w/ my unit). Will the 802.11n routers work w/ my laptop & the basic airport card? If not, is there some sort of adapter fix that I could try?

I recently bought an Airport Extreme Base Station (the new square one with "n"). It works perfectly with my even older PowerBook G3, which has the Airport "b" card. You need to use Mac OS X 10.4 to run the admin tools, but I see you have that. The new version of the Airport Utility is the best part of the package - very elegant software. I also use it with a Power Mac G5 (with an "g" card).
I saw that Apple has it on the refurb page.

What is the best compatible router to use with MSI?

I am typing this through my phone as my internet does not work on my MSI since yesterday. Therefore I will make it short.
I have a MSI GT70 2pc and I had just replaced the old router with a new one. All went well for about two weeks untill yesterday where I began receiving lag and no internet connection. Yes I do have full wifi bar but I was not able to connet to no website or game.
The troubleshoot stated two point: something about the Primary DNS server... And a firmwall is formed on preventing connection.
I don't know much info about router, give some help please cause I'm tired of issues. I will be calling my internet server tomorrow

Which new router do you have?

Are you sharing the connection from a single router? If something goes wrong with the original router but the connection of the shared AP is still working fine, sometimes you'll have this kind of situation.
Try to use the ping command and finds out which connection is down.

What is the best wireless router for my imac G4

i need a wireless router for my imac g4. Which one do you recommend? All all wireless routers capatible with macs?

As Donald mentions, the routers are all compatible with Macs, but the software CD that they include often has Windows specific software on them that is really just a front-end for configuring the router for use. It does nothing that you cannot do yourself manually by accessing the router through the IP address that gets you into the router settings.
If it sounds difficult, it certainly is not. Once you are in - and that is simple - the router's info is in a nice graphical interface that is simple to use.
I use a Netgear WGR614 for my mixed Mac-PC network at it works like a charm. I got it at Best Buy for $39.99.

What is the best wifi printer for mac ?

i want to buy a new wifi printer / scanner / fax.
i had problems with my former one , it was HP Officejet 4500 and all of the setting was wrong for mac.
it was a dissaster .
before i will buy a new i wanted to ask if anyone has a proposition .
thanx

I don't have a home office - nor do I have any experience in printers the way some reviewers do. When it comes to printing, all I care is that it actually prints and doesn't jam.
Printers are so inexpensive these days and my old printer was a great Cannon that did it's job - cost about 80 bucks when I purchased. Then I bought an iPad and tried ALL the free printing apps - and even paid for an app that swore it would work with any printer. NOPE.
So, when this printer came up to test - I jumped on it! WOW. Not only is it so easy to set up, even I can do it (didn't even need the disk). It prints anywhere from my iPad and my iPhone. I also love the double sided printing and never realized how much double siding printing I actually do. It's great for long recipes. The photo aspect of it is sharp and clear. I LOVE The scanner and though I rarely use a fax - it's nice to know it's available so I don't have to drive to my local media store. For the price - it's amazing.
It's also super fast compared to my Cannon and super quiet.
I've started recommending this to my friends - even though they may not do much printing - it's amazing how much you'll start printing once you have this super hero. Kind of like my Kindle - I read way more books now than I did when reading hard/paper backs!!!.

What is the best wifi printer for mac ox 10.7.4 ?

I'm in search for a new All-in-one wirelless printer/scanner for my iMac and I have seen many negative postings for various top seller wifi printers,when it comes to Lion operating system. Does any one has been successful with a HP or Epson all-in-one printers lately and the iMac?

Hello pgb100,
Yes! As a matter of fact, I just got an Epson Artisan 837, 2 days ago. Set up was a breeze and I already printed from my Imac, Ipad and Iphone. It works great! The scan quality is pretty decent too and you can also print CD's! I can't wait to use that feature :-D. However, the photo quality was not as good as advertised. I found that the printer gives me very dark pictures. I had to go back to editing my pictures further and increase lighting to have a good photo. I'm using left over HP photo paper I had from my previous Photosmart 8250 -which produced very good pictures-. I'll purchase Epson paper to see if it makes a difference. I haven't used the fax feature yet, but I'm sure it works fine. I think the printer is very fast and very user friendly. Nevertheless, it is a big brinter; Thus, hope you have the space for it.
Overall, I think it is a good printer for the money. I got it on sale at Office Depot and it is also an energy star printer. Hope this helps!
Cheers!

What is the best internet router out there

i am looking into get a new wireless internet router for my home, i want one that will have a strong signal and that can go a fair distance. any sugestions?

You want to have other suggestions besides Airport Extreme? Well, depends how much money you want to put, Cisco E4200V2 has been quite good and surprisingly good range.
If you want to put even more money into wireless, you can get very high quality and powerful Access Points from Ruckus, but honestly pretty much all higher end corporate access points are as powerful.

What's the best router ti use w/ my miniipad..having connectivity issues?

what's the best router to use w/ my mini-ipad...i'm having difficulty connecting to wifi. my old ipad connects fine

You need dual band adapters also for getting benefit of 5Ghz band(and N standard receivers to get benefit of N standard). So i think WRT350N will be next to best for your network, or you can get WRT600N and so that in future if you get adapters like WEC600N, it would work best with them.

What is the best way to open emails and attachments without using wifi?

For I-phone and I-pad, what is the best way to open emails and attachments without using wifi? I turned off wifi in my settings but my boss thinks there may be another way and a better way to use something else instead of wifi. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Thanks! That is a very good question you post. My boss asked me that and I am assuming that he is having issues with using wifi wherever he is at. My boss is the kind of person that when he asks something you look into it and ask him no questions...he's the only one asking questions! But thank you for your response I will tell him the information you told me and hopefully that will help!
