My old Mac computer has only LAN port connection + is not wifi capable. My wifi router and it's coax access point are too far, will this help?

Absolutely! As long as your wifi router works, every wifi device should work, and this will work perfectly for you!

From my experience this would need a LAN cable or a USB Stick to be able to produce a wifi signal. I will try to check for you in the coming days and will let you know

This is not for a stronger signal but the band or type of wifi. If you computer does not get N. The regular bear is for a weak signal. Works on OS X.

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"...

You need to install the drivers that comes with the adapter. I was only able to connect my macbook pro to max 144mbts. The internal adapter connected to 217mbt. Windows is ok, but no recommended for mac.

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.

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.

I don't know. I haven't tried. It is in our new gymnasium and we may not have much need to try that. It won't be used a lot there. I have shut it off for now because when I turn my laptop computer on in the church it grabs the signal from the extender and it is slower because of the distance. I can always tell my computer to grab the signal from the router in the church.

yes, disable dhcp, and don't use the wan port, make all connections (to main router & to connected devices) using the lan ports. also i advise giving this (access point) a specific ip address, so you can connect to it easily to reconfigure etc.

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

Yes. This has been a consistent problem for me with the MacBook Air sadly. After a lot of searching I found something that helped. In your network connections turn off the box that says 'search for networks automatically'. Everytime the connection drops it will now go back to only your network rather than searching. That helped.

Unsure you will have to remove your routers antenna(s) and check for what type of coax connector you will need. I own two of these antennas and use them with a linksys WRT54g router and some other connectors I have. The two antennas on your router are not for send and receive they are for frequency diversity. Hope this helps also you can extend your current wifi network for free by flashing your router with Dd-WRT there are videos online about this process.

I have a MacBook Pro, it works but the connection sometimes goes in and out if I just slightly move my computer.

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.

is there ANY workaround whatsoever to the original poster's question? Can you set up a password and security without the ethernet cable at all or is Netgear lost to macbook pro owners? (as in, find someone else's laptop to configure?)

Look for a wireless booster for your signal, if you can string up a LAN cable it's much better and faster. Cheers

Yes. It will work.I ran this way briefly downstream from a D-Link, but once I configured by cloning the MAC address my download speed was much faster.
