My daughter bought a Mac and is trying to use it on my wireless network. She gets in just fine and can use the internet, etc. But about 1/2 hour later, the wireless locks up and we have to reboot the router to get it back online. Items plugged in directly seem to continue to function just fine.
I saw a hint in an online shop that Linksys products don't play well with Macintoshes. Is that true, or are there some settings I need to make on the router or the Mac?

does your wireless have wireless security on? like encryption?
MAC sometimes have an issue with security keys that have letters in them.
IF this is the case change your wireless security key to all numbers. See if that helps at all.

Not to dispute what you read but 802.11 is a wireless standard and all wireless routers and computers all work under this standard.
I've never heard of this problem you're having as related to Macs but there may be something in the computer's settings or the router's settings that may resolve the problem. If it were me I'd contact both linksys and mac for answers if I couldn't find a settings adjustment.

Routers have not something to do with the working device you employ. Mac, Linux, domicile windows, Solaris, Beos, Chrome, all those OS use the html protocol to get right of entry to the router instructions. You administration your router and parameter it by technique of internet Browser using the internet Protocol. because of the fact that all OS use an easy protocol to get right of entry to internet, all OS can get right of entry to and administration the router. So, what ever the variety and variety of router you employ, they artwork on purely any OS. word that verbal replace between Mac and different computers on the community get right of entry to community (LAN) does not artwork because of the fact the interior lan verbal replace protocol is diverse. you will possibly desire to install then a gate utility to talk between the computers using diverse OS.
