One reviewer had trouble using the Apple Airport with the unit. Has anyone had success?

Here is the answer taken from another Honeywell WiFi thermostat. It worked for them. The hint was from Nest. Here's what Nest says, "In some rare cases, Nest can experience intermittent Wi-Fi connectivity if the security on your Wi-Fi router is set to a mixed security mode (WPA/WPA2). Refer to your Wi-Fi router documentation to learn how to update your security to WPA2-only mode. Once the security has been updated on your Wi-Fi router, reconnect Nest to your home network."

I was also considering using this as an access point for Airplay. Did you try it and did it work? Thanks

Yes I use apple air via my Apple TV unit connected the this device. It has some speed issues but works.

I just got my MacBook Air in January, so I believe it's the latest model. It did NOT work with my computer. The vendor keeps trying to get me to take this feedback down, but I won't because it never worked from day one.

I understand your frustration. I would still recommend that you contact the Apple user's group to see if anyone there can answer your question. There are some guys there who really do know what they are talking about and it is worth a shot.Good luck - M. R. (Tom) Thomas

I would think so. I'm running it with OS 10.4.10 without having to install any drivers. Also, I have a Airport Express down the line that hasn't had any issues.

I returned the unit though it came with a HD. It did not work. I am using Qsee that works well with Apple iphone but well over accessing remotely via internet windows.

I've unplugged it from time to time (really just to move it) and haven't had to reset it up. Since I've written the review, I have seen some AirPlay disconnects (even with setting a static IP address). I know that setting a static IP is the way to go, but again have had a couple interruptions of music.

If you use an apple airport that's the problem, I had to get a net gear to fixt the problem, it's a connection issue that drains the batt. Now I'm all good and no more problems!

We could not get it to work wirelessly with our MacBooks. My wife's older MacBook worked remotely once, but never again. My new MacBook Pro was so new, I guess, that the software wasn't compatible, so my son downloaded some new drivers. No luck in getting it to work remotely. Works fine when attached by USB cord, but that wasn't the point in purchasing it. We don't have iPads, so can't comment

Works perfectly with my iPad, but there seem to be issues with Macs. Read the reviews - you may want to return it.

AirPort Extreme does not work with a non Apple product or router. I just had this same problem & called Apple. I am returning the AirPort Extreme and getting a dual band router with an extender that is the same make as the router. Then they will work together....I hope.

I have not had the problem at all and I have used my new MBA extensively (several hours every day) on wifi for about 6 weeks. I believe it was fixed by a software update from Apple.

I don't see why not. I found the whole set up to be a bit less than stellar and decided to switch to Apple Airport Extreme and Express. It's much easier to use and much more reliable. plug and play and it just works. You can also use two expresses or three if necessary and they'll work together seamlessly as one big network.

Yes, works very well with iPad, iMac and iPhone. All are on my LAN and no problems connecting them all. Use the web interface to configure the router, save set up as a file and download firmware upgrades. Very nice router with good transmission even though there are no external antenna.

I was not able to do it last night. I had to 'un-hide' my SSID to set it up, then when I went back and 'hid' my SSID it could not connect. [Setting it in repeater mode]. So now my SSID remains 'un-hidden', I've since just implemented a MAC ACL. Please let me know if you've had better luck.
