Does this work with Internet via Satellite? I am stuck on the install at adding MAC. Have spent hours and ready to return. After a day's work and help from my satellite company and an e-mail from Netis, I learned "There is no need to input MAC address...

What is the "black box" that you have been provided by the Satellite internet company? I need to know this to help you so that I can determine the proper type of connection you should make from the Satellite internet providers hardware. If you have the make, model and even serial number, I would be happy to research for you further. Please get back to me and I will help as best I can. Don't give up, yet!

This is a feature I really need, conflicting answers on the same day...I've looked through the online documentation and don't see the MAC address on any configuration screen.Is there a tie breaking vote from an actual owner?

Finally working properly on iMac13,1 running Mavericks, the chipset is VIA VL812 & firmware v8581, upgrade firmware to v8584 from "http://www.station-drivers.com/index.php/listes-constructeurs/88-via-chipsets" (with a PC).Good luck to all who had the same problem with MacOS :P

Hi, I too have old MAC laptops. I bit the bullet and searched on Goggle for " used macs" It is not the best way but it worked for me. I has aquired 4 used macs and am surviving the on slot of the new tech, OS systems and etc. It is a bit of crap shoot but I have extended my use of "clasic" SW. but the time is near where I will have to go to the newer software. The new SW is making our old SW useless. Regards W. Kirhgofer

I connected my modem I purchased from an Amazon vendor to Comcast and other than confusion over which MAC id to use, had no problem for voice and data. They had to reset a couple of times at start, but all is working well.

I did get a firmware update on mine (using a Windows PC). I'm not an Apple person, so I'm not sure if updates work via Mac. I don't think it took long for the update. Do you have any friends with a PC that would let you borrow it for this purpose?

Sorry no, it does not. Drivers are Windows Based and requires the specific NETGEAR software to install into the system. You might be able to find a hack software out there somewhere that allows you to install onto a Mac but then why not just buy an adapter that works with Mac if you haven't bought a USB Adapter yet.

Zhi:Thanks for all your great explanations.Maybe S.Pachella knows how to put both the pc and netbook on the same network, but I don't. Could you explain? Linking a pc w/DVD to the netbook seems like such a perfect approach. Thx.Gayle

I had been using this router on a network that I configured with a Windows PC. I was able to pick up the signal fine on my Mac. However, I bought another router and attempted to configure the network with my Mac and I was not able to. There is no technical support for Macs, the product is not designed for a Mac, I would strongly urge you not to buy this product if you have a Mac.

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.

I have had many routers, and used even more ... off the top of my head I cannot think of any one of them that was not configurable over the network, and worked for PC/Mac/Linux or anything else. I don't rule it out, but I have never personally seen something that did not work with anything ... that is, if it worked at all.

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.

Hello- Macs here as well. The Mio C520 will operate out of the box, without any downloads required. Although I have not yet tried it, I would assume the included DVD would fail to install any programs on my Mac, but I'd wager the comprehensive owner's manual PDF would open and be viewable... at least this was the case with a Navigon unit (windows only as well) I've since returned. Where I expect to run into difficulties will be when I want to update maps, POI's, or download and install a traffic subscription- basically anything that will require a connection via USB cable from my Mac to the C520... that won't work. The way I think of it, the Mio is great for the money, and honestly, how often do I need to update maps and such?... it has the latest '07 TeleAtlas, so I would assume I'm covered for several years at least... and when I need to update something, I suppose I'll just bring my C520 into work and do it there (on a PC). According to the Mio people it's a quick download, and the program is easily erased from a desktop...

Hello. I have service with Time Warner. Usually, you would need to contact your ISP so they can obtain the MAC address of the modem. There after, it should be plug and play.

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

I just finished installing the software CD and setting up through Ethernet on my iMac OS X 10.4 Tiger and it all went smooth. As Christopher mentioned, you first must setup through USB. If you follow the instructions in the long colored guide sheet and networking setup guide, you should have no problems whatsoever. Goodluck! =)
