Per specifications on ASUS website the N56U supports Mac OS X. The following is from CNET review: The bottom line: The Asus RT-N56U is arguably one of the best true dual-band 300Mbps home routers on the market Love mine and has a great dashboard that makes things very easy. Good luck hope it works out for you. bob

All routers can support any OS that supports networking. Some routers have software that makes things "easier", but this is not needed, and in most cases, useless. Your router will have an IP address which you type in any modern browser (including Safari) which you can manage the operations of the router from there.

Yes, the router will provide a standard connection and should work just fine with a Mac.

Routers are not OS or platform specific, so you should be able to use any router with any computer. I use this ASUS on a desktop that dual-boots into both Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux. The wifi has connected to various laptops running anything from older Linux to Windows 8.1, and several tablets and smart phones running various versions of Android. I have never had a problem with it connecting to anything.For the initial setup, you will want a wired connection to the router (via CAT7 ethernet cable). After you have it set up, you should be able to do everything over wifi.

I don't know if this has been answered. Im am looking at the side of the box and it does say mac compatible. so the answer is YES

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 have an IMAC computer using a wireless router. Can I access my computer with this TV?

Yes you can! This router will have 4 Ethernet ports and you can connect additional devices with a switch, as well as wireless devices to the Wi-Fi connection.

the product works fine with a mac....instead of using the set up cd (which is XP/Vista based only) go to the web based setup of linksys (192.168.1.1). essentially you will connect the modem to the router (to the internet ethernet slot), then connect your mac to one of the port slots -- there's four of them -- (this is an ethernet to ethernet connection with the supplied cable), open up safari (or whatever browser you are using) and type in the setup address (192...), you will need to insert the password/login (admin for both).... and viola you're able to setup it up on a mac. because the router is plugged into the modem and you are plugged into the router -- you can leave most of the default information as is. you will probably want to change the SSID (or else it just reads linksys) and if you are closing the network you will want to set up the WEP key (or WPA key) -- and of course you will want to go to the admin tab and change the network management login from admin to something less easy. once you have saved the changes, unplug the ethernet look for the SSID and enter the WEP key. it may take a second to show up on your mac (if it takes longer then a hot second -- unplug modem powersource for about 10 seconds and replug it in -- this will allow your modem to rollover the IP address) otherwise you should be okay. while somethings in the mac/pc world matter (mac has a 6 pin firewire connection while PC has a 4 pin connection) this router fortunately isn't once of them. hopefully this is helpful as you get the same thing as the airport express at half the cost with this router.

Yes. Your ISP (Verizon) provides a cable modem connecting the fiber optic data line to your router. The router connects to your iMac via wireless network or Ethernet hardwire. If you don't have a wireless network or even a router the cable modem can plug directly into your iMac by Ethernet wire. The wireless network card is built into iMacs; so if you have a wireless router the iMac should pick it up. If you have any problems your ISP or Apple can help you troubleshoot.

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

In a word, NO. It has to be connected to a router that assigns internal IP addresses. That would be either your cable/DSL 'modem' or to something like an Apple Airport that has an ethernet jack.

In theory, yes...but I gave up using this router, my iPad and phone did get anywhere near the speed that my hard wired iMac did. D-Link has horrible support. Terrible support, no support.

Yes. I had an iMac and MacBook Pro. I used the Apple wireless airport. I like the 810. It works fine and has many features but plastic is flimsy. Just be gentle with it

No. I just looked through all of the settings and did not see a place to change the MAC address of the router anywhere.

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.

It should. I use my refurbished Apple AirPort with a Mac Mini that's probably 6-7 years old, and it's fine. My Apple AirPort Extreme is the primary router for a very large house right now, with a Mac Mini, two MacBook Pros, and two iPhones. I bought my AirPort Extreme several years ago now, and it was refurbished when I bought it. Will replace with another refurbished AirPort Extreme, when I feel a need to replace it. Hope that helps.

Yes you can. On a Mac you just connect to the server with SSH. Telnet, and FTP are other ways to connect to it as well.
259452
Yes. I have my MacBookPro attached attached to the router via cable and the router attached to the Modem for internet service

The short answer is yes. The long answer, you will need to have a working knowledge of ip addresses, access points, and your router in order to get it working. The instructions that come with it are suitable for someone with some network knowledge. It will not be plug and play. And since you are using apple products that might be a challenge.... Ha ha.

NetGear does not have drivers for Mac OS.They owe their allegiance to Microsoft.So my answer is a "NO".

Will this unit integrate with an older (5-6 years old) iMac G5, running OS X & allow for wireless networking in a small home ? Thank you for any help, my wife was given the iMac by a friend to help her with her teaching work. I have a Verizon fios wireless router upstairs, my wife wants this in the living room/kitchen, if that is any help ?
