Best Router For Mac Computers - axispolaris’s diary

2 days ago Best Mac router 2018. Get a better Wi-Fi signal on your MacBook (or iPhone or iPad) with our roundup of the best wireless routers for Mac owners. But, as we all spend more and more time online. Setting up a wireless router on a Mac is a process not unlike setting up a router on a PC, but with a few alterations in the latter steps that require a knowledge of the layout of Mac OSX.

We are way down the phone line and broadband speed is not much better than dial-up. It got even worse when I installed a wireless modem/router and found I get slightly more speed plugging everything into the ethernet sockets. Now using the Ipad as the only unit on the WiFi I think I need to improve matters with a better modem/router. (I'm not even sure if the current Netgear one is working properly as it should!) So any suggestions as to the very best and fasted modem/router for my situation would be appreciated. Best free bible app for mac.

Thanks, Peter. If your broadband connection is bad, no modem or router will increase the overall speed anyway. Talk to your provider. For wifi routers and access points, Wireless N is going to be the fastest and is supported by the iPad. N will be as fast as 100mb ethernet. All PCs should have an N card (or be plugged into the ethernet port) if you want to take advantage of the speed, but, in your case, your connection to the broadband will be the bottleneck. Even so, the fastest (average) broadband will be 20mb anyway, with a few communities over 50mb.

Of course, I am speaking of the US. In short, the best home router/modem will not make you connect any faster if the issue is with the provider and the lines outside your house. Wireless N is the fastest wireless band at this time. Linksys (Cisco) makes some nice routers at the N level. I also have the disadvantage of living in a place with lame internet-access. The best we have in our area is 16MBit DSL.

You really notice with big downloads. Depending on the server, speeds may vary, but I never achieved mor than 1.4MB/second. Downloading the XCode Development environment with 2.something GB took nearly an hour. At my brother's place with 50MBit this loads so much faster. Anyway, I don't notice a difference between WLAN and Ethernet. The bottleneck does seem to be the internet-connection itself. I always laugh when people say this is the fastest.you want this!

Put it this way. If a web page has a total of 15mb of data to load for the whole page, and your router is a G @ 54 Mbps how do you benefit?? Your router can handle up to, 54 megs per second.so why waste money on the new N when your Internet provider can only dish out X amount of mpbs? One reason for N and others is wifi range. But speeds, not so much. For example, I don't need N because: comcast only dishes out 18 Mbps download speeds. My G can handle up to 54 Mbps.

The wii takes in only wifi and my ps3 is wired into the router. Again, comcast only pumps out 18 Mbps.

IPhones, blackberry, directv, they all use Internet and only as much that is given. My G is big enough range for my home. A reason for an N router: you have two computers that sync a lot. They are wired together. You may benefit from the 100mbps if you transfer lots of files. But again, if your IPS only dishes out 18 Mbps for Internet you will never use that 100mb factor for streaming/downloading off the web. N does provide a little big greater wifi coverage however.

@Wakawaka: You are assuming 'they' are not streaming from within 'their' own network, which is something more and more people are doing. I have 3 terabytes of audio and video on my media server, all being streamed inside my network at N speeds. Therefore, my internet speed is irrelevant when it comes to this. Expandability is the key. One thing I always try to follow, and the advice I give to anyone who asks. Buy the best you can afford at the time - it will last longer and you will be less disappointed when the replacement comes out. @Wakawaka: You are assuming 'they' are not streaming from within 'their' own network, which is something more and more people are doing.
