    Wifi router recomendations

    So I'm thinking of replacing my 10+ year old time capsule with something newer. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm in a small studio apartment so I won't need massive range for it. I just need something that has dual band and has decent wifi speeds.

    iPad mini iPad mini 5 WiFi problem

    So I got this LTE 256 mini 5 just days ago. It was a bummer in that my home WiFi (FIOS with original equipment not yet one year old) connection drops, sometimes it reconnects, sometimes it request Password but rejects. I have 9 other Macs, iPads, iPhones, on the network with no issues. The mini...

    Why does Wifi use up so much battery during sleep?

    For a long time my MacBook pro (2015) carried on using battery when I put it to sleep unpowered, so that it was often completely drained when morning arrived. I did everything that was suggested to me on forums, and then finally I solved the problem simply by turning off Wifi each time I put it...

    iMac Mid 2011 Wifi Dropping Connection

    I have a mid 2011 21.5 inch iMac (HighSierra 10.13.6) and it has been disconnecting from the wifi constantly. Like every half and hour or so. Turning on and off the wifi does not fix the problem. It also does not immediately reconnect to my wifi. I either have to restart the whole system, or...

    WiFi cutting out repeatedly

    Noticed recently that at times, fairly frequently, that my wifi on my MacBook Pro would cut out. By cut out I mean the signal is still active, by all indications it is still connected but there is no upload/download network activity happening. The odd thing to me is that simply by clicking the...

    Alternatives to AirPort base stations

    I've always found these details so useful within Apple's AirPorts and was wondering if anyone could let me know of other routers that have a similar *live* feature. And all of this info is available within both the iOS and Mac apps. What I want is to see is; current data rate/link speed, current...

    Time Machine for 2 computers?

    I have a run of the mill old router by linksys without any ports open in my office, but I need to get a Time Machine solution to backup 3 Macs. Are there external drives that have built in wifi? or is there a way to plug in external to one machine and have others backup to it as well?

I wait for the wifi icon to show up at the top, all three bars are black so the network connection seems fine, but if I go on...

    Automatically connecting to Wifi before login

    Hi, I'm setting up my new Mac Mini (2018) as a home file/video/etc server. Old one (2011 server, running OS X 10.13.6) reconnected to Wifi after remote reboot without any problem. New mini unfortunately connects to WiFi only after login which makes it unusable for remote work (I need to reboot...
