I have one iMac on my home network and I can't get it to work with this powerline adapter. Are Apple computers not compatible?

The powerline doesnt care what device it is connected to it just extends the signal from your router in one room to another - try hooking up you iMac directly to the router if that works it should work on the other room - good luck

I am sure that you can use it if you have the Apple Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter. It works on the ThunderBolt port of your new iMac. I think the Apple brand is best, but there may be less expensive options. So the set-up would be ThunderBolt FireWire 800 adapter blogged into your iMac, this would be plugged into that and then you would have FireWire 400 adapter plugged in. Good luck.

Installation via USB on my iMac was not difficult & works fine, but I have not been able to get wireless to work, even though it is supposed to have this capability. There are posts at various forums from others with this problem. But some report no difficulty with wireless. If you definitely want a wireless connection, I would wait until someone posts definitive instructions somewhere.

Apple system profile.However, I have the latest and it's still pretty unreliable. :(That said, it's impossible to say it's the adaptor for sure. Maybe it's my monitor. :)I hope yours is more reliable than mine!

We use only one with our iMac to expand connectivity and it works great. What you want to do should work fine when you consider each port is completely cloned.

I do not have an iMac but I do have an ipad, ipad mini, iphone 4 and it works just fine. So I don't see why it won't work on the iMac. Oh yeah it works on my pc too.. good luck

I couldn't get it to work at all on mountain lion. One support person confirmed it won't work on Os X at all and the other person assured me it would???? I never did find an external modem that would work and ended up using Nextiva.com for my fax.

No. This a thunderbolt connection which is used on new macs. You should probably look for a lightning connector.

If your iMac has a bluetooth connection it should have no problem working. It's a pretty generic bluetooth device.

if you have a Thunderbol Port Compatible on your iMac it will work...the small end is what plugs into the computer.it works really well...we have used it several times....

Yes, it should work. One of the power line is connecting to this router through one of the gigabit Ethernet ports, and the other power adapter can be connected to the device you want to have networking access. There are some limitation/requirement of the electric wiring in a building for using the power adapter(most of the houses meet those requirement).

Yes, I tried. Contacted customer service, the whole nine yards. It DOES NOT work with Time Machine on Lion. Period. Even though the packaging misleadingly assured me that it was Mac compatible. I've been reassured that Netgear's engineers are working on the problem keeping in mind that Lion has been our for retail sales since July of 2011 with development versions well before that. I don't expect satisfaction with my complaint, nor do I expect to ever purchase a Netgear anything in the future.

All Wireless standards are the same. If your Mac supports wireless N or G for that matter this router should work. They are backwards compatible to older technology.

Yes, we had problems with the wireless connection on a new 2013 iMac. Couldn't solve it, rebooted twice.

I used it with my 27" iMac running the most recent OSX release and it worked perfectly via plug and play. Increased the distance from my WAP by at least 50 yards.

Honestly, I'm not 100% sure since I have not tried this. But I cannot see any reason why it would not work, but having said that, I would not be my preference to do such a setup for two reasons: assuming that you are using the adapter encryption, that would introduce more latency on the system, meaning slower speed. Also, these adapter units are susceptble to interference on the powerline. My desktop monitor kept on putting EM interference on the powerline that killed the connection. That's why I stopped using these adapters. I guess it would be ok if you are using laptops.

That doesn't have anything to do with this adapter, that's something with your Apple TV, and my recommendation is resetting it, and trying it again. Also, check to see which wireless band you are using 5GHz or 2.4, not knowing which apple TV you have or your wireless settings, it will be very difficult to help you.
