Does wireless connection between a macbook and this projector require a network w/ router? Or is there a way to connect directly?

As of 11/5/14 there is NO driver for OS X Yosemite. If you have already upgraded your Mac to run the latest OS, you CANNOT do a direct wireless connection to the projector.

Mine worked, now and then, after rebooting the Mac book and power cycling the projector and disconnecting and reconnecting about 20 times. Then I got tired of this and spent the $29 for the "real deal" from Apple and it "just works." This device is not as universal compatible as the Apple product.

It works with Mac. It doesn't even connect to the computer - just goes through your router.

I had a similar problem and now use two in bridge mode and connect the distant one to a DLink DAP-2553. I then use the DAP-2553 for wireless connections. The two EnGenius work great together and the DLink works excellent with my MacBook Pros. Cannot confirm, but my belief is that a single EnGenius sends a strong signal but has difficulty receiving from distant MacBook Pro.

It depends. For MacBook early or mid 2009, you'll need Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter Model 9320G. For MacBook late 2009, you'll need Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter, which is this one. The Apple Model # is MB572Z WW. check your MacBook Manufacture date by using the Apple menu. Select "About this Mac", then check the specifications in the Overview tab. You should see the model name listed at the top of the window, followed by the screen size and year of manufacture (e.g., early, mid, or late 2009). In addition, I'm assuming your projector is using a VGA port to connect.

I attach an Apple Digital AV Adapter (MC953ZM/A) to the iPad, which is also available from Amazon, then attached ethernet cable and attached the other end of the ethernet cable to the HDMI port of the projector. Once you turn the projector on (silver button on top above lens; also don't forget to remove the lens cover), you should be able to project items displayed on a wall or a projector screen.

Sorry, I don't try to use Mac, but honestly I don't recommend this item since I have general connection issue dependent on channel and router.

Is it even possible to have a network adapter without a MAC address, I don't believe so.

No it doesn't. it take a usb dongle you can get them cheap from Best buy or any other electronics store (amazon). As far as I know that's all that's needed, the rest should be set up for it. I'm not sure if there are any sub groups of this projector that didn't come wireless ready but the one's I got were. (the cost should be around $50.00 and they should be plug and play

I have connected several Bluetooth speakers to my Brookstone projectors, but always with a simple cord from the output audio jack on projector to the audio-input jack on the speaker. i do not believe the projector can do this wireless. However, if you are running a PowerPoint presentation from your laptop, you should be able to wirelessly connect your laptop to the speaker instead, and avoid the cord.

I'm not clear on how or with what you want to connect.. I can tell you I bought this item to connect my Apple TV 2 to my projector and it works great even with airplay...

To use the projector, you can project a Powerpoint or other presentation that has been saved to a thumb drive and no computer is needed. If you prefer to hook up a Mac to the projector, you will need an adapter. If you are going to hook up multiple computers to use this projector, I cannot help. Also, if you have wireless available, you can have links active to websites within your presentation.

I guess Mac doesn't have HDMI or RS232 ports, so it cannot be connected. You might try searching HDMI converter for mac and then you should be able to connect

I doubt that your printer is the issue. Any printer should work, if I it is correctly set up. If you run Windows, I assume that you used the installation disc. It won't show up unless it is in the same subnet, but the installation should set that. I have a Mac and had to assign an IP address manually, but The router could see it. If you can't see it, send it back.

Yep, and when I wanted to run this from my Mac, the gaming adapter wouldn't work (requires windows) BUT I hooked up my Apple Airport Express which was even EASIER than the Linksys gaming adapter and that worked too. It seems that there are a variety of options for wirelessly streaming from Netflix. I haven't noticed any difference in the quality with these two adapters.Lovin' it.

Yes, i have used it wirelessly with my MacBook Pro. Great thing is, my Mac recognized it and printed to it without any setup whatsoever.
