How about the AirPort Extreme base station? It is designed to be easy to use with Macs (especially the excellent AirPort Utility that is used to set up and manage it), and the current model has 802.11n with dual band features.

It also has a USB port that can be used with a standard USB 2.0 external drive to provide network storage.
I have the older original square 802.11n version, and it has been working fine since I got it.

  • Which wireless router do I need for multiple VPN tunnels?

    I work at home and I connect to my office VPN (SSH Extranet Client) thru cable broadband. I need to have 2 VPN tunnels open as I frequently have my laptop & desktop connected to my work VPN. I've had a BEFSX41 for the past 3 years and it's worked good as it allowed for 2 VPN tunnels. It just died on me a few days ago and I would like to go wireless now. What wireless router(s) would meet my needs? Thanks in advance for any input.Message Edited by nolesworld on 11-27-200606:24 PM

    Hi,
    normally it doesn't matter which router or PC card you use, they all should work.
    I'm using a card from Netgear, never had any problems with it.

  • Which wireless router?

    Simple question, after reading reviews and noting problems. All I need to know is which wireless router is recommended to connect our iMAC, which has Airport Extreme card, to Telewest Broadband Cable (now Virgin), please?

    I would say that your choice of wireless routers is similar to choosing a computer. You can buy an Apple product that will be effective and easy to set up and use, or you can pay a little less for another brand which may or may not do the job.
    If the Airport Express has the features you need then get it instead of the Extreme. If you do go with a non-Apple brand then my advice is to stay away from Linksys because I have had several of their network devices die for no apparent reason.

  • Which wireless router works best with Apple products?

    Which wireless router works best with Apple products?

    I cannot comment of Airport products, as I have none.  Nor would I suppose to argue with Kappy or Ralph.
    But in a pinch a LinkSys E2500 will work, as it does for me.

  • WRT54G Wireless Router Problem. Need Help!

    I'll start with the basics of my situation and if more details are needed, I will provide to the best of my ability.
      I have a comcast cable internet connection.  I have 6 computers in my house. Two of them are downstairs (which is where our modem is.) The other four computers are upstairs.  All of these computers are Desktop computers with the exception of one laptop.
    My laptop (which is Windows XP) can pick up a random wireless signal from the room it is in.  I also found out a way to share the internet connection on the computer by going into the properties of my network connection and enabling internet sharing on it.  This means if I connect a network cable from my laptop to another computer, I can leech the connection from my laptop and have internet access on the other computer.  I also  had a switch that I used to connect the other 3 computers upstairs by means of the laptop.  The problem was, the laptop was using someone else's wireless connection in the area, and it wasn't strong enough to keep up a constant connection.
    I decided, if I can leech someone else's wireless connection, why not have my own.  So i recently bought WRT54G Wireless Router and set it up on one of the computers downstairs (because that's where the modem is).  It works fine as far as connecting my laptop to the internet from upstairs.  My laptop can access the internet through the connection I set up in the LELA program. 
    Here is the part I am confused about.  Everything is plugged in correctly as far as the router is concerned because the laptop can access the internet.  But when I connect an ethernet cable directly to one of my other computers (which are Windows Vista, but I didn' t have a problem with it previously when I was leeching someone else's connection), the connection drops on my laptop, and the other computer still can't access the internet.  A notice pops up that says its trying to identify the network, but it gives an error that says there is something wrong with the DNS.  As soon as I disconnect the ethernet cable connecting my laptop to one of the other computers, the connection is fine again on the laptop.  It's only when I connect the computers together that the connection drops. 
    I just don't understand why it wouldn't work when I created my own network if it worked with another network with no problem.  My whole point in getting a wireless router was to have a router within good range to keep up a constant connection on my other computers that aren't in range of the modem downstairs.  I just don't know where else to look.  I'm not sure if it can be fixed on LELA, manually through my wireless settings, or if it could be a problem with one of my computers' settings.  I've tried many different things and I'm not sure what else to do so any help is most definately appreciated.  I feel like I've tried everything.  I know it's possible because I've one it before, I just need the help because I'm not much of a networking person and I don't know what I should start with to make this work.
    Thank you to anyone who can help or even point me in the right direction.

  • Which wireless router should I buy?

    After many hassles trying to get my 3 yr old speedtouch router to work reliably with my Macs I've decided it's time for an upgrade. Can I please get your wireless router recommendations for hassle free surfing on a Mac
    Many thanks
    David

    When you want some router advice you need to be more specific.
    A router does not include a DSL modem. So if your needing a box to replace a speedtouch then you need an ADSL router.
    An ADSL router is a dsl modem and router combined.
    You also don't specify who your isp is or what country your in.. This has some implications as if your in the UK for example some isp's use Annex M, ADSL2+ etc. Not all ADSL routers support these protocols and in the UK we use PPPoA IPoA and PPPoE. In other parts of the world only PPPoE is used.
    So if you want an example of an all round box that works with 99% of the protocols it is the netgear DG834GT. However netgear now have a wireless N compatible router however I have not had any reports whether this box will work with apples wireless N. However in theory it should.
    If you want a standard wireless router to use with an existing DSL modem then I would recommend the linksys wrt54G

  • Which Wireless Router has a strongler signal than the E3000?

    I need a Wireless Router that will have a strong signal for a 2 story house. I'm currently using a E3000 ans its not doing the job. Thanks!

    I went w/ a low-end Belkin wireless router, and it's worked great so far.

  • Looking For Correct Wireless Router For My Needs

    I currently own a LinkSys BEFW11SW wireless router that I am ready to replace with a newer model.
    At the present time I have a desk top connected via Ethernet cable to the router, an Apple LAPTOP via wireless, a WII via wireless, and a wireless printer.
    Going forward, I will have the same connections as I do today, with the addition of optionally connecting my LAPTOP using an Ethernet cable, and connect my HDTV and Blue-ray disc player using Ethernet cables.
    I am leaning toward the E2000 router but want to know if I need/require the E3000 router for the HDTV and Blue-ray disc player with those devices being connected using Ethernet cables.
    Looking forward to your insight and suggestions.

    Anytime E3000 is better than E2000 because E3000 can work on 2.4GHz and 5GHz of frequency simultaneously.

  • Which Wlan router do I need?

    Please can anyone help?
    I am on a BT line and my service provider is wanadoo through orange. I want to go wireless.
    What sort of router do i need?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Sorry for this question but why did you post this question in the Toshiba forum???
    There are so many WLan routers on the market and I think you should read some test articles about the router hardware. Maybe then you will bring more light into this case.
    By the way, I use the WLAN-Router Sinus 154 DSL Basic 3

  • Which Wireless Router Is For Me???

    Hey all, I am new here at the forums and I just have a quick question.

        This is my question, you now know my set-up and stuff.  Which new Wireless N Router should I buy?
    Thanks

    Some good N Linksys Routers are WRT160N,WRT320N,WRT350N,WRT610N...

  • Which Wireless Router works well with Satellite A200-401

    Just about to buy a Satellite A200-401 notebook can anyone suggest a good affordable wireless router that works well with this?
    steve

    Hm, thats a strange question because I doesnt depends on the machine, more on the installed wireless card. But usually a Netgear router is always a good choice...they are reliable, dont need much power and you can extend your network range with these special Nergear "Range externders".
    I have a Netgear WGR614 and it works like a charm, it has everything you need.
    Heres a link:

  • Which wireless router do I choose?

    I've been putting off buying a  wireless  because I don't know which model to choose.    I have a Dell Inspiron 2200 laptop and an Emachine T2542 PC.  Both are currently connected to a wired router and DSL  and each has their own printer.  With all the choices out there, Broadband, Speedbooster, etc, I don't know which is needed.  Dell advised me to get the Speedbooster and an internal adapter card that would require self installation.
    Thank you,
    jaz1957

    Its difficult to find a version 4 now a days but they are out there.  Be easier to find a WRT54GL, L stands for Linux.  Its just a renamed WRT54G v4.  In my opinion they are more stable and reliable than the v5, v6 and v7.  If you are going to retail stores looking for the WRT54G look for serial numbers on the box that start with ....
    CDFA = WRT54G v4
    CL7A = WRT54GL v1
    CL7B = WRT54GL v1.1

  • Which wireless router should i get?

    I have a Airport Express that I am thinking about replacing.  My wife's white macbook keeps dropping signal, while my black macbook is fine.  I thought it was a problem with her computer but then we went on vactaion and the whole time we were there her computer never lost signal.  Also I want to connect a wireless transmitter to the router for my Dish Network so I need a ethernet port.  On my network I am running:
    Imac (intel)
    2 Mackbooks
    2 Iphones
    1 Ipad
    Apple TV
    PS3
    Dish Network Transmitter
    I would like something that runs both bands simultaniously.  I know that the Airport extreme would work for me but I am wondering it there is something better out there.  Are all Airport Express base stations dual band?  Our network seems to be running kind of slow.
    Thanks
    Jeremy

    Hi J Hensel,
    The Airport Extreme and Time Capsule are the only routers made by apple which run on simultaneous dual-band networks. It's a brilliant concept, essentially two wireless networks are broadcast at the same time to provide 802.11n speeds for capable devices, and 802.11b/g to devices still running on that protocol.
    The Airport Express are what Apple calls "dual-band capable". This makes them a great addition to any network and a perfect companion for proximal devices. Dual-band capable allows it to run either N or B/G networks. So if you have 4 802.11n devices on your network they will all benefit from the faster speeds and better range. If one B/G device tries to connect to the router, it will intelligently switch its broadcast mode to B/G. This seamless transition allows all of your devices to connect effortlessly, however it will mean the great range you experienced browsing on N capable devices will be retrograded to B/G standards.
    I have no problem recommending an Airport Extreme or Time Capsule, I imagine it will meet all of your needs and then some!
    Another important thing to note is Airport Express can only support up to 10 devices at a time, whereas you'll find the airport extreme can support up to 50!
    The fact you have 9 devices on your current network might be the root of your particular issue.
    Hope this is helpful for you.
    Cheers,
    Ajb.
