    How would I manually add a USB Ethernet adapter to Mac OS X 10.5.8?

    I’m on 10.5.8 Leopard on my G4 MDD, and I have a Cablematters 4-Port USB Hub / Ethernet adapter with a Realtek chipset connected to my ethernet. It used to work before, but since yesterday it would no longer see the adapter’s ethernet signal, I say this because when I go into “About this mac” I...

    iPhone 15 Pro iPhone + Ethernet = 900mbit/s upload speed. Yay! =D

    Does anyone else use their iPhone with ethernet? I bought a new USB3 dongle for my M1 MBP and have used it with my iPhone 15 Pro. It highly recommend it. With it, I achieve 900mbit/s but without it I achieve a 10th of the upload speeds. The same is true for my M1 MacBook Pro. A bit of insight...

    Resolved Airport Express 802.11N Ethernet Bridge

    I picked up a cheap AirPort Express 802.11N with the intent of using it as a wireless-to-Ethernet bridge for an old iMac G3. I've read tutorials of how to set it up that way on modern Macs, but I only have iOS devices, and I can't find the 'Allow Ethernet Clients' setting on the iPhone version...

    How do I specify which connected network Mac uses for internet access?

    I had to switch internet service providers, which required me to get a new router as it uses different technology. If I have my old non-internet router connected to my Mac via ethernet and my new internet-providing router connected to my Mac via WiFi, how can I tell my Mac that when I want to...

The Ethernet connection works fine in Ubuntu with no issues, (I just plug it in and it works.) In Mac OSX, the adaptor is...

    My UPS is connected to my Ethernet network. However, I do not know, what IP address it was configured with (I purchased it used). What’s the best way to try to find the IP address, when I have my Mac connected to the UPS with an Ethernet cable directly? What software should I use?

    How can I set up this old router?

    (Moderators feel free to move this thread, I didn’t know where to put it) Here’s the deal: I don’t have an AirPort card for my G5. Now, the logical thing to do is to buy a used one from eBay but I don’t want to spend money. I have a few Ethernet cables, an old Apple airport router from early...

    Testing an Apple NB Ethernet Card (NuBus)

    I just came into possession to an Apple NB Ethernet card (NuBus) 820-0417-C. The person who gave it to me said that they were not sure that it worked and since they knew I collected old Apple hardware I decided to take it. My problem is that I do not have any 68K Macs with NuBus. My only NuBus...

    Comparison: Internal vs. External 10GbE

    I compared the internal 10 Gbit/s network adapter of my base model Mac Studio (Max) with an external Thunderbolt 3 10 Gbit/s network adapter from Sonnet. Internal: External: The difference seems to be a more conservative power ramp up (take a look at the beginning and the end of the graph)...
