Hi,

Has anyone got the 2820N to work with a first edition aluminium iMac in n mode.

I can't find any indication of whether my iMac wireless card is draft 1 or 2 of the n standard, or even if it matters.

I've found a couple of people having problems with the 2820N and macs, but would be interested to hear from people who've not had problems.

If I get this router I need it to work in n mode, not just b or g.

Thanks,

Ben.

I don't have specific N info, but I do have an e-mail regarding general Mac compatibility straight from DrayTek. This is in response to my latest status check after the dozens of e-mails I've already sent.

Dear ****,

I am very sorry all inconvenience that we may cause, as you mentioned in the last mail, old MAC OS version does not has wireless problem, but it arise in new version(and the new OS has wireleess problem with many other wireless routers), I think the new MAC OS may do some changes in wireless function. So I mailed to Apple to seek for help, but Apple think that's not their problem. In order to solvethis problem, we purchase a new MAC device last week and try to find out the problem, but we need more time to analyze this problem, if I get any news of the issue, I will inform you ASAP.

Isn't that great? They got a new Mac last week because apparently they were running PPC models with Tiger up until now. Right on, DrayTek!

Ah, thats interesting, thanks.

I got a post from another user on another forum who said that all was working fine for him with his mac and 2820n but he didn't state exactly what mac and os version he had.

Anyway, based on that post I ordered the router which arrived yesterday. I've set it all up except the wireless and everything is working fine so far.

I set up the wireless as soon as I have a chance and post my experiences back here. I may not get a chance until after the weekend as I'm going away.

Cheers,

Ben.

Hi,

I forgot to ask... what sort of problems are you having ?

My main problem is basic WLAN access. I can usually connect to the network but I can't access the Internet for any reasonable amount of time.

A few seconds (or sometimes minutes) after connecting, the signal strength will appear to drop in the AirPort menubar icon and I'll be unable to do anything that involves a network connection -- including accessing the router on the LAN.

Using the exact same settings as on the DrayTek, I have no problem connecting with a D-Link router. I think the issue is a buildup of faulty DNS queries, but I'm not sure.

Hi looking to buy a 2820Vn has anybody got the wireless working reliable with a new mac (imac/macbook pro etc)?


Cheers
