Yes. I use a PC and my wife uses a Mac. This router works fine. It also works with my print server, network attached storage, network media player, Wii, Nintendo DS, and Nokia Internet tablet.

You can connect either by wire or wireless from Apples. Just remember it's for connection to ADSL, not cable. You can still use it without having ADSL in your house or whatever. You configure it with a web browser if you have a non-MSWindows computer. I didn't try setting it up initially from a wireless connection, but it might work.

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.

The manual only lists Windows operating systems supported. However, I believe all current Mac models comes with wireless cards so this device is not necessary.

Cleoo,You have to understand there are many people who do not know or understand how to use many computer devices. I can't answer the question for you because I don't run or have access to a MAC, sorry about that. My neighbor has one and I can try to see if they have time and test it on their computer and let you know. Regards,Charlie

Wish I could tell you. I purchased this item because my onboard ethernet wasn't working right (my Windows machine still kept trying to use the old port instead of the new one, so I had to jump through some hoops to get it to ignore the built-in one). It seems very likely running two ethernet ports is possible though; pro-level Macintoshes come standard with two, after all. This ethernet card worked great for me, by the way, although--unlike reports from others--I had to install drivers for it. Good luck!

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.

No, you only add it to one computer (pc) and then just look for the wifi name on your other devices. This product is not compatible with OX mountain lion. And the wifi crashes every few weeks and is difficult to restart. If given the option, I would not open the package and return it for a better product. Speed is great but the defects out weigh the speed. Lastly, you get three months of CS. Beyond the three months, linksys will try to sell you CS package to connect to someone in India so they can walk you through how to fix the defect they should have fixed a long time ago.

I do not see any compatibility options for MAC OS online. As a USB 2.0 connection, they are compatible to a certain extent, but are NOT 100% compatible with each other considering the "WIN" function that has programmable keys available with Windows software.

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.

Yes and yes. I currently have a Windows 8, two Windows 7, and even an XP on this router wirelessly, not to mention my daughter's Mac. We also have iPhones 4, 4s, 5, and 5s. Also iPads, iPad 2s, an Android tablet, a Kindle fire, and 2 Smart TVs. That is now. This will also handle future needs for years to come.

I do not own a Mac, so I guess I can't make any promises. However, wifi in general is a fairly stable standard. In other words, I'd be really surprised if this didn't work with any Mac. I have had a guest with a Macbook Pro connect to it without issue. I don't mean to offend you, but if you are asking a question like this I'm concerned that you don't know what you are looking at. This is an "Access Point" and not a "router". If you don't know the difference between the two, you're probably looking for a "router"...

I have no success setting up this device in osx. There are no specific drivers and, although the system has some vague idea thet the device is there, it will not let you set it up.

Being totally Windows oriented, I'm not able to answer a question regarding the Zoom modem's usage on Macs.I can say that, before buying it in January 2012, I did talk directly by phone with a person in Zoom's tech department, who answered one of my technical questions. Don't remember that phone number, but it's probably still on their website (www.zoomtel.com) on one of their "support" pages.So far, I've been using the modem for a year and a half with Windows 7, with no problems whatsoever--as long as one follows the installation method I posted to Amazon (2/18/2012). It does what it's supposed to.

Ian, Overall, yes. I'm a Mac shop and did not encounter the many problems reported here by Windoz users (mostly). I found a significant defect in the ethernet hardware interface. It probably won't bother you, but be aware that if you configure it for Full-duplex ethernet mode (either 10FDX or 100FDX), it will really operate in half-duplex mode. If you use the default Automatic ethernet setting, and it works on your network, you'll be fine. But if you do need to force FDX, be warned. I've had the unit for about 6 months. My two main complaints are: - it locks up from time to time. The only way to clear it is to unplug the power. While that might sound serious, it's par for the course in the computer business these days. How many times daily does Windows get a 'three-fingered salute' (i.e. forced reboot) somewhere across the country?? - my scans generally have a slight yellowish tinge. I think this is unit specific - YMMV. When I have to, I can correct it with various post-processing applications (iPhoto, Photoshop, etc). The ADF is great - it's only jammed once on me. I often scan to a USB stick, which is also handy. Good luck.

I havent been able to find any good software for my hackintosh i am running 10.7 but there was some software solutions but i have not been able to get any of them to work. It was much easier to get it to run on windows and with mac that of course is possible as well.
