Can this provide wired internet w/o any wireless signal in the environmt, and with the wifi signal turned off of my Mac AirBook?

Yes, this adapter is an up to 1GB hard wired ethernet port (connect the ethernet cable to it) and other side of the adapter connects to the MAC Thunderbolt port - you now have a wired ethernet connection. You can turn off the WIFI signal. Typically the MAC will default to the wired connection if there is one.

Yes. This is just an adapter that provides you with the ability to connect to an ethernet/intranet/LAN. I used it to connect to a DSL & cable modem when there was no wireless signal available and the wifi turned off.

That's exactly what this is for. Its an ethernet port just like on any laptop, desktop, or gaming console.

Plug in and your computer will ask if this is what you want to do. At least on the MAC. I can't remember if there was something written, but I rarely read them until something doesn't work. I don't have the wireless type but should be similar. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Not entirely sure. It's USB driven wireless, though so if you can get USB to talk to MAC I'd think it *should*...

Within the back of the Airgo, there is a compartment designed and made to physically install the old style Airport Express. Not the one that looks like an Apple TV. The is a wired connection in the enclosure to plug the AirGo into the Apple Express to conduct the audio from the Express to amplifier in the AirGo. The AirGo would have to a WiFi Receiver to do what you want, so the answer is NO, in will not make a wireless connection.

I did not need to disable the internal Wi-Fi on my Dell desktop or Macbook Air. However I believe the instructions do say to disable it. I would try it without disabling first.

I think so. I use this modem for Ethernet connection and wireless, but it should work without a wireless connection.

Yes. You can connect cable to ethernet port and connect to mini router, and have it broadcast that internet signal wirelessly. Will require setup of wireless access. Instructions were included and fairly easy to follow. Just find the set for setting the device up as a wireless router, not bridge or repeater.

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Your Mac doesn't care what device is connecting it to the Internet, as long as the device can talk via Ethernet. The cable modem will connect to your computer via Ethernet and you should be OK.

Yes. This has been a consistent problem for me with the MacBook Air sadly. After a lot of searching I found something that helped. In your network connections turn off the box that says 'search for networks automatically'. Everytime the connection drops it will now go back to only your network rather than searching. That helped.

I'm sorry I can't tell you that myself, since I've never owned a Mac. My own computer is a 9 year old Dell desktop, without a wifi card. So I first bought a medialink wifi adapter, a little thing which plugs into a USB port, and then the media link router which works very well and is relatively inexpensive. My contacts with medialink support staff have been excellent.Their phone is 856 216 8222, email is support@medialinkproducts.com, and website is www.medialinkproducts.com. You'll probably get your answer with one of these.

Yes it works just fine on my wireless network. I have a macbook air 2013. Works great.

No, it needs a wired ethernet connection to the internet (through your router).

I'm thinking hook up a c drive to your pc or try ask Netgear for instructions for your Macbook.

Yes but not wireless if there's no internet or if you don't want it on the web

As long as you have a compatible wireless router, it will pick up a wireless signal from it, no ethernet cable required.

I don't have one. I just plug it in to the router/modem. I also have a Mac book and I use it wirelessly w/o the airport.

I believe it could, but didn't get the chance to try that feature out. I returned it since it kept dropping signal. I kept my old N300 router instead. I think if I got another one it would be the Apple Airport Extreme
