Stuck on step #1 of the quick setup guide. It requests a WEP key. No option to skip. Nothing about this in the documentation. Both Mac and Win8.

I never had to enter one when first setting it up. Recommend: You can reset your wireless router, by holding down reset button 3 seconds, and let it go, than hold again until only power light is present ( This could take 8 to 10 seconds) . Than unplug wireless router and plugged back in. This should reset it.

I believe they are referring to the router code of the Satechi network, which is "admin". This is not the router code of your usual network. In effect they want you to use the Satechi as your router for set up. In fact, you could unplug your usual router at this stage. (Plug in the Satechi near your computer in order to get a strong network signal.) Note if you set up the Satechi as a repeater, its modem function will turn off when set up is completed, giving you an error message that you have lost network connection. You will then have to reconnect with your usual router and relocate the Satechi to a point where it gives you the best repeater service.

By "they" I meant the Satechi instructions. I suggest you contact Satechi support directly.

I have no success setting up this device in osx. There are no specific drivers and, although the system has some vague idea thet the device is there, it will not let you set it up.

If you mean did I turn it on and hook it up to my wireless without any software or hardware additions, yes! I just selected my network and typed in my WEP key.

Mine didn't either. Just Google "Wondfo Instructions" and it should be the first link!

ACTUALLY this WILL NOT work with the new OS X 10.9 and above updates. the router uses a Home Connect program by Cisco (one that I loved) but now I have no access to since updating my computer. There are no patches and no fixes, it simply will not work and I cannot turn on/off the guest function nor change any passwords to my network. DO NOT BUY with mac 10.9 and above

I have nothing in my setup instructions for setting it up on a imac. Mine is setup on a PC running Windows XP

Don't know. I've been using it successfully in Mac OS X v.10.7.5 as well as Win7

I am using the Link with Windows 8 without any problems, so I'd expect the same with Windows 8.1. First have a look if your router doesn't have a USB port for connecting a printer to it.

I don't have a Mac! So, no idea. I just hooked mine up, no software needed.

I use Win 7 Home Premium and it hooked up fine. DO you have two drives in the Link Station? It will not work when you remove one drive. The navigator must first load. Try re-installing the software. Make sure the switcher or router is working ok. Try re-booting the router.

don't have that, I have w7. In theory, it should work as long as their configuration tool runs correctly in w8. The config tool is basically a one time run; unless you are planning to change IP configuration frequently.

Put me in the frustrated club. Like another commenter I did not spend a lot of time, but it became clear that my use was not one of the primary supported methods. If you're not in Apple world, I would be prepared to devote some time to getting it to work. It should be possible, but the quick-start easy-setup is not going to do it, and once you get past that, you're on your own to some extent. Docs are not extensive, I didn't see if they have support.

I tried to install mine 5 times and gave up. I have a mac and am trying to set it up so I can use VMware, I did what the instructions said to do but gave up, if you instal it let me know

There are tunnel protocols that may not function. These are able to pick up and configure to "extend" an existing link. I have a single unit working as an access point off a DLINK wrt and hadn't seen any problems.

Hi, We had some challenges in getting this printer set up. I have a PC and my wife has a MAC. We have FIOS internet coming into our home with a modem in the basement. There is an ethernet connector to our offices and a wireless modem (MAC brand). I had an older AIR port, the type that plugs into the wall and has a USB connector. We connected the HP to that and then connected that to the wireless network. I got help for sure. It can be done.

Ok; I understand; it has happened once with me. Look behind the router; to the left is a small hole; kind of rectangular; if you peep through you will see a small button; black, round button; take something like a toothpick while the router is on and hold that for say 20seconds and the device will reset. Alternatively you can use the MAC address; get to mikrotik website and download winbox; now connect the router directly to your pc; run winbox and in the address field; type in the MAC (you can find it somewhere beneath the device) its like xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx, it will be labelled MAC. Once you enter the MAC address; you can login to the router. I suggest you simply reset; keep winbox; its the swiss knife for these routers.
