    New Series 4 Only Works on Wifi

    So excited to go from Series 0 to Series 4 today. Stayed at home on wifi all day. Watch/Phone both arrive around 12:30pm, I set it up and paired with no problems. I set it up as not a new watch but from my "restore from backup" of my Series 0. Everything seemed fine all day, then we went out to...

    MBP 2018 does not want to show non-AC 5Ghz WiFi

    I have got two routers/access points where I live. One of which is an old one that only offers 802.11n over 5Ghz and not 802.11ac. I notice that when trying to connect to it, iOS devices usually show it last even when standing next to it but it works fine on all my devices. Today I received my...

    Does this mean Wifi card is broken ?

    We have a 30Mbps line. I'm standing with my laptop literally right next to my wifi router (2 inches aways). I'm receiving 12-15Mbps on Ookla Speedtest on my Macbook Pro 2017 13" w/ macOS Mojave latest public beta. A old crappy windows laptop costing 1/4th the price is getting 28Mbps. I am...

    Non-Broadcom WiFi

    Hello, Has anyone swapped/upgraded the Broadcom WiFi mini-PCIe card in their cMP for a non-Broadcom card? I have a MacPro5,1 that I'd like to use other OSes with, but Broadcom drivers seem to be lacking for many. That said, if OS X will not work with non-Broadcom cards, that would be good to...

    WiFi vs. Ethernet

    Does anyone know all of the features you will lose when using ethernet vs. WiFi. I know printing can be a hassle since your not on the same wireless network as well as taking calls?. I was curious to know what other things I may miss out on going with ethernet since it's faster speeds. TIA

    Using older Time Capsule (802.11n) to extend wifi network

    Would it create a bottleneck in speeds in using an older Time Capsule that has 802.11n to extend my wifi network where my current Time Capsule is 802.11 a/c as well as all my devices? Would there be a way to set up the old time capsule in a way that amplifies my network without causing a speed...
