[QUOTE="Chef_eam, post: 1002293, member: 135390"] I could probably return the router, but I probably will keep it. It's no big deal that I had to change the security (actually had to set it to use WPA + WPA2 because my printer does not do WPA2). It gets the faster connection and that's what matters to me. As far as the usb port goes, that's not a deal breaker either. It would have been nice to be able to hook the Mac formatted drive up, but with 4 usb ports on the iMac and a 7 port powered usb hub, there are plenty of ports to hook up the two external drives, my iPod, phone and Wacom tablet. I may eventually get an additional drive and format it NTFS to hook to the router so I can do a network share for the 3 computers in the house (I am the only one that has seen the light and made the switch to Mac:D). And I have to agree with you...it was a lot easier to set the network up in Windows, but the way it turned out, having to poke around and look for a solution, I learned something in the process.
