Hi,
Shopping for a good router with my MacBook Pro that will give me about 75 feet, thru one wall. Just need to connect to internet and operate wireless printers.
Tried 2 Linksys and won't work, and they have horrible support.

Most modern routers play equally well with Macs and PCs. I'm not sure which one would be best for your needs. Having to provide a good signal through a wall might be a challenge for any router.

And 75 feet is a stretch. Maybe look for a router with some sort of beam focusing for WiFi? They aren't cheap. It might be easier to get a mesh system and put one of the satellites about halfway between the two locations. There are several brands that work. I have a Netgear Orbi that really works well for me.
