No. This product is not a range extender. It is used to convert a computer without the AC protocol to AC. The problem is probably with your router

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.

Have you guys tried changing the wireless channel? I was having this problem where I was getting poor signal and random disconnects on my MacBook pro when my router was set on channel 11. Ever since I changed I was able to connect and browse w/o disconnects. None of my other devices had this problem though...

I set two of these up as repeaters to extend the WiFi signal in our home. I used a Macbook Pro to configure them and then later, to access the network through them. I had no problems.

Using its built in Wi-Fi connection, I have printed from a Mac, two iPads and an iPhone. I don's see how three compters would not work as well. Hard wiring might be a hastle.

Another note, it was definitely the computer that was the problem. My friends and I were sitting together to study and they got wifi in no time (Apple laptops).

Totally has wifi capabilities! The great thing about this model is that the hard drive is remove able (newer models don't have that) and if you catch major viruses from the Internet, it's easy to replace/repair your hard drive! Just be careful with certain Internet programs, as this version of Mac processor isn't the most up to date with certain programs downloaded from the Internet (example: Utorrent and Adobe have been diffcult for me to update with this processor). Good luck!

I have had my MacBook Air for about a month and have experienced no problems with losing Wi-Fi connections. The only time I have lost a connection was at McDonald's while on their unsecured Wi-Fi. It turned out to be McDonald's Wi-Fi going down.

Yes, this adapter is an up to 1GB hard wired ethernet port (connect the ethernet cable to it) and other side of the adapter connects to the MAC Thunderbolt port - you now have a wired ethernet connection. You can turn off the WIFI signal. Typically the MAC will default to the wired connection if there is one.

Not entirely. Under Mac it doesn't support networks with WPA- or WPA2-Enterprise security, these only work under Windows. So you won't be able to connect to most modern company WiFis under Mac.

Paired it with Mac Mini, some times disconnects if idle for a long time (15+ min) but switching it off and back on again fixes the issue

I can't answer for whether it's compatible with Apple products, but I've never had a problem with the built-in wifi. Since the moment I set it up the wifi has worked perfectly.

No. This is not a Wifi adapter. It is an adapter for a wired or network cable connection. Your Apple computer will continue to use the Wifi adapter it already has along with this adapter.

I bought it yesterday at Best Buy and had the same problem Janice L. Cox, M.Birch and Andrew had. After connecting to my wireless network, the device randomly disconnects, even when the rest of my devices are still connected to the wireless router without issues. Sometimes to reconnect I have to power-cycle the device altogether, or go to settings -> networking -> find my network again -> re-enter password.

I use an Apple airport wifi adaptor and have had no problems. Works great. I get excellent network connection and stream music all day long. I really like this unit because of the iPad and iPhone apps that let me control it. Much better display and interface than the front panel.

It looks like iOS 8 has improved its Wi-Fi handling. Since I upgraded to iOS 8 in September, the connection has been rock solid (the DL1608 previously sometimes desynchronised with the wireless iPad).

ACTUALLY this WILL NOT work with the new OS X 10.9 and above updates. the router uses a Home Connect program by Cisco (one that I loved) but now I have no access to since updating my computer. There are no patches and no fixes, it simply will not work and I cannot turn on/off the guest function nor change any passwords to my network. DO NOT BUY with mac 10.9 and above
