What wireless router would be good to use with OS 10 Lion at home?

I have a Mac Book Pro with Leapard and I just recently purchaced a iMac with Lion. I want to set up a wireless network with my provider, in my house. What wireless router should I use that is compatable with Lion OS?

Virtually any modern wireless router that has its latest Firmware updates should work fine.  I myself have been extremely pleased with my Apple Airport Extreme wireless router, but spending that much money is not necessary.
Hope this helps

  • What flash player software is good for use with the Apple Mini?

    I get "flash player missing" warning on news sites when I go to available videos. What can I do? I have a 2015 Apple Mini iOS 10 with 500 GB hard disc

    There are no active reference viri in the wild for any of the hard-sold antivirus
    applications to remove from the Mac OS X. You can use ClamXAV from its
    maker's site (no other, as some are bad copies loaded with adware or malware)
    here:    http://www.clamxav.com/   that can help isolate and remove items that
    you may get from someone's email who owns a windows PC, if you do not want
    to forward those to some of your friends who use windows.
    A larger concern may be adware and some kinds of malware, they are avoidable
    but unless you are zealous about how you use your computer gear online, it may
    be possible to get several items that can make using your Mac seem nightmarish.
    Here are a few links to information that are best glossed-over before an issue so
    you may have an idea what you may be up against when or if you do get adware
    or some other malcontent from browsing corrupted web sites. Oh, also avoid the
    torrent or bitorrent sites that offer file sharing or 'free downloads' that you later will
    pay for one way or another. These can be tainted with badware that starts out in
    a web browser, or perhaps if you get a bad copy from corrupted download online
    of a known software but not from the maker's site (such as a copy of Flash, but
    not from Adobe's own site) these can be a lot of work to undo their bad effects.

    For Adobe Flash, which is not installed in OS X anymore, you could get it, or see
    what else may be helpful to use to see video file content. I don't use it and feel
    that if there is some great need to see a video (most are like trash) the better ones
    now use HTML5 or some other technologies that just work in the browser w/o Flash.
    If you need Flash be careful and keep the OS X updated and be sure to get Adobe
    updates for their product. Some of their products are OK, but some are bloatware.
    The links I posted on how to get the Adobe Flash (adobe help pages) are ones to
    note. There are other items in their site which may or may not be helpful to you.
    You may do well to start a new thread, or ask and someone could ask the ASC Hosts
    to move your post into a new thread of its own; then any replies to it may appear to
    your email used when you set up your account with the support communities forums
    if you have yours set to announce activity or replies, etc to your posts here.
    If your ordered Mini has at least 8GB RAM (it would be soldered in as part of the logic
    board, and so not upgradable; unlike certain former builds that allowed user upgrade)
    and if it has an Apple Fusion or SSD Drive, or a hard disk drive with 7200-RPM spin
    rate, then it would like be quick enough going forward a few years. More random access
    memory (RAM) is separate from drive storage or system hard drive capacity; these do
    different things. A computer may temporarily use storage capacity as virtual RAM, but
    it would be limited by hard drive data rate speeds, that are much slower than chip RAM.
    A Fusion or hybrid, or SSD (solid state drive) can speed up the system since the files
    that would end up being written to that drive and then read as temporary RAM, would
    be moved in faster speed, so your computer function would be noticably faster. A stock
    Mac Mini with hard disk drive generally has a slower 5400-RPM rotational hard drive.
    This is slower than a Fusion hybrid and much slower than an SSD. The latter is more
    costly than the other choices. A fair option if it exists, is a 7200-RPM hard drive, of up
    to 1TB capacity, if available as a built-to-order option from Apple when ordered direct.
    (An authorized Apple service provider could upgrade the storage drives with suitable
    product replacement, and not void the AppleCare warranty; an upgrade at that point
    may or may not be covered under an extended (optional) AppleCare plan.
    If you ordered your Apple Mini mac from online Apple Store, you have certain time
    limits to return it; and depending on which country or region you live in, the rules may
    be different. In the US, you have 14 days from when you get it, to change your mind
    and notify Apple. If you do not notify Apple (they will authorize a return before you can
    ship it back or before you could return it to an official Apple Store in person) the time
    limit goes away and you then are the owner of the item. So you do have a limit if you
    bought from Apple directly, online or from the official Apple Store. If you do return an
    item to Apple you bought direct from them, you could call on the 13th day, providing the
    day you call to start the return process is a business day & not weekend or holiday, and
    that may allow you a few more days to physically return the computer to them. If you
    were to return to the Apple Store online (via fedex or acceptable parcel delivery with
    tracking) be sure to check to see exactly when you would need to get it back to Apple.
    {If bought direct from Apple & not an authorized independent reseller, be sure to ask
    Apple sales when or if you have any issue; returns or pre-arrival, they can be helpful.}
    And if you are not in the US or Canada, there still may be 14 days return, if bought via
    the official Apple Store (retail location) or from the online Apple Store. This isn't available
    through authorized resellers who set their own sales return policies as independent agents.
    Anyway, hopefully your new Mini has sufficient upgrade to work well with Yosemite and
    whatever applications you may need to load into it; some can be top-heavy in demand
    of resources. That's why one has to consider the purpose prior to buying a configuration.
    Hopefully this helps you somewhat.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • What Router Would Be Best If Using Two PlayStation 3 Consoles?

    What Router Would Be Best If Using Two PlayStation 3 Consoles That  Are Connected To The Same Broadband Internet Connection? My Two Cousins Aren't Able To Connect To The Same Lobby Party Together As I Am To Play COD MW3. They Have Tried Having Both Consoles Hardwired to the Router But The Same Problem Of Having Only One Of My Two Cousins To Be Able To Connect To The Lobby Party While The Other One Can't Connect.  Thanks For Any Help With This Issue.

    My router easily handles 2-4 PS3s at a time during Uncharted multiplayer and its a few years old.  Its a Linksys Wireless N (model no. WRT150N).  Like I said, its not the newest but it handles all our consoles just fine.  My internet speed is 24mbps, maybe your cousins need a faster connection? Hope this helps.

  • What wireless router works with this OS?

    i have bought 2 different routers that are not compatible with this OS...anyone know what wireless router i can buy that will work with OS X Mountain Lion?

    "Cisco Connect" seems to be support software which Cicso may not have updated for Mountain Lion. (It's hard to tell from the Cisco forums.)
    Supposedly, many of the functions on Cisco routers can be controlled through the web interface.
    Support software aside, jdcastaldo is right that the actual routing and wifi functions should be independent of the operating system of the clients.

  • I have on airport express that is 5  years old, I now have a new wireless router.  I want to  use the express just for air waving iTunes.  How do I set it up?

    I have on airport express that is 5  years old, I now have a new wireless router.  I want to  use the express just for air waving iTunes.  How do I set it up?

    Hello 84wvu,
    It sounds like you want to setup your Airport Express to Airplay music from iTunes.  I found an article with steps to help you get this setup:
    Connecting to an existing Wi-Fi network, exclusively for iTunes music
    AirPort Express used exclusively for AirPlay by setting it up in Client Mode.
    Choose this configuration if the computer containing your iTunes library may be out of direct range of the AirPort Express, but is within range of the Wi-Fi network.
    How to Set It Up
    Connect your AirPort Express to your home stereo or powered speakers.
    From your computer, join the wireless network. Use the AirPort status menu in the menu bar on a Mac. On a Windows-based computer, hold the pointer over the wireless connection icon until you see your AirPort network name (SSID), and choose it from the list if there are multiple networks available. Enter the network password, if necessary.
    Open iTunes on your computer and choose the AirPort Express(es) you wish to stream music through from the speakers pop-up menu in the lower-right corner of the iTunes window.
    I also recommend reviewing the sections titled "Some things you should know about AirPort Express with AirPlay" and "Things to consider before you begin" in the full article:
    Wi-Fi base stations: How to set up and configure AirPort Express for AirPlay and iTunes

  • What version of Quick books can I use with 10.6.8?

    What version of Quick Books can I use with my IMac version 10.6.8?

    Contact Intuit to find out. The current version requires Lion 10.7.3 or later. Or you could upgrade OS X:
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.

  • What ADSL modem do you advise to use with my new airport extreme? I have tried a basic TP-Link ADSL2  modem and I can't get the configuration working. What modem does Apple recommend?

    I am having problems setting up airport extreme.
    What ADSL modem do you advise to use with my new airport extreme? I have tried a basic TP-Link ADSL2+  modem and I can't get the configuration working. What modem does Apple recommend?

    Ok well I have looked around some more and have found this to be the most up to date official response to my question as seen at this link here:
    http://www.actiontec.com/support/product_details.php?pid=41#q27
    Can I Bridge the Actiontec MI424WR router that Verizon provided, when I signed up for FiOS service?
    The MI424WR does not have a bridging option, and neither Verizon nor Actiontec support attempting to bridge it.
    The desire to bridge the MI424WR is based on a misunderstanding that it is a modem as well as a router. Actiontec does produce DSL Gateways that have a Transparent-Bridging option, which bypasses or disables the router function and allows the Gateway to act simply as a DSL modem, when it is enabled. Many consumers do not realize that with FiOS, the ONT (typically outside the home) is the device that handles changing the FiOS signal from Fiber to either Ethernet or Coax, and that the Router is just a Router, and if it was bridged or bypassed, it would be a device without a function. For most Verizon FiOS customers their service would completely stop if the MI424WR was bridged, because the Video on Demand service is dependent on it to work.
    If your ONT is connected to the Actiontec MI424WR router via Coax, the MI424WR is required due to the Coax connection. But if the ONT is connected to the MI424WR via Ethernet, then in most cases some other router can be substituted for the MI424WR, and it can be removed."
    So it looks like I will be calling Verizon support to see about getting the Ethernet connection installed and getting another modem...

  • What kind of range extender can I use with airport express

    WHat kind of range extender can I use with an airport express?

    WHat kind of range extender can I use with an airport express?
    Use any router that you want if you will be connecting the extender/router back to the AirPort Express using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection.
    If you are planning to use a wireless connection to extend the range of the network.....then another AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule will be required.

  • What is the latest OS I can use with a mac G5 with a dual 2.3 Ghz PowerPC G5 processor?

    What is the latest OS I can use with a mac G5 with a dual 2.3 Ghz PowerPC G5 processor? Everything on my computer has been running so slowly in the last few weeks. Have I finally outgrown OS 10.4.11? Would there be some other problem that would sudden make all my speed take a nose dive? I have 8.5 gigs of RAM...  Please advise!
    Thanks!  Matthew

    Everything on my computer has been running so slowly in the last few weeks.
    First open Console in Applications>Utilities, see if you have reapeating messages.
    How much Free Space do you have on the Hard Drive?
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 6 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
    Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

  • What is the best mail account to use with Apple Mail?

    Hi All, I am a recent convert to Mac from a PC and I am on a sharp learning curve. At present I am trying to use mail on Leapord. I have a Googlemail account which I have tried linking to Apple mail but I seem to get the same issue many others have with send e-mails. What is more, googlmail's All Mail facility is doing my nut in at the moment.
    Therefore I was wondering what is the best mail account to use with Apple Mail? I only have a Mackbook and an i-pod nano so subscribing to mobile me at £58/yr just to get the @mac.com account (which I assume would be perfect) seems a little extreme for me.
    Are their any other account that work correctly and don't have this All Mail option.
    Thanking you in advance.
    Matthew

    Hi,
    I have 2 issues.
    1) I have mail 3.6 and when I set up the mail account via IMAP and STMP I recieve mails ok, but I can not send them. If I do I get the following window pop up.
    "can not send message using smtp.googlemail.com server" it tells me my address was rejected by the server.
    2) I have 2500 e-mails in my All Mails folder on googlemail. Nearly all of these I delete from my inbox years ago (my bad mailbox management). Google seems to store all my mails. I want to delete these permentaly as they also get downloaded into Apple Mail.
    Hope you can help.

  • What is the best external battery to use with a macbook pro retina?

    Looking for the best option here. What is the best external battery to use with a macbook pro retina?

    You should check your date of purchase against the manufacturer's warranty
    or guaranty since some of those better brands have some recourse should
    they fail within a specified time period. A good reason to save dated receipts.
    Since solid-state USB drives probably don't (all) use a wear-leveling software
    to equally utilize their recordable space evenly, it is possible that some of these
    may exhibit a failure in some sector areas due to excessive over-writing. If the
    ones you use do not have such a technology or an undercounted total capacity
    with a means to automatically write in other sections, you may have to consider
    manually using a disk utility to zero-overwrite and reformat them occasionally.
    Even so, that may only help a marginal flash or thumb drive work a little longer.
    Should a camera memory card fail you still may be able to attempt with margin of
    success, to +recover image files+ from it. re: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
    The standard default format they ship with works well for most file types; so if
    you aren't moving OS X or Mac app specific files around on a USB flash drive,
    the original format should be fine. Oh, you can use Disk Utility to attempt to do
    a repair; but in some cases you may have to reformat them, etc.
    {Some of the flash drive warranties or guarantees may vary from between regions;
    so if you have one with a '5 Year' guarantee in the US, other rules may apply in EU,
    or when you seek to replace an item under warranty outside of where it was bought.}
    Good luck & happy computing!
