I am looking for an inexpensive apple product to facetime with my mom's ipad 2. Will this work? Will 802.11G connect to wifi at home? TIA

This iMac will work for you to facetime with your mom and you'll be able to do more with it than with an iPad. It will also cost you a lot less. You might want to go up to a wireless N router, but not absolutely necessary. I would not pay more than $200 for this model, but make sure it has 4 GB of RAM in it. Any less and it's not worth it.

Yes it should. Look for one that's running at least Mac OSX Lion. Hope this helps.

This computer will not facetime directly out of the box. Description states that it is running an old OS (Tiger). This feature is not available in Tiger. It was not introduced until Snow Leopard (10.6). You'll have to upgrade the operating system by at least 2 versions in order to use face time with this machine.

Based on what I have read, just click your airport icon and choose the netgear adapter name that comes with yours, and you will be prompted for the password that also comes with yours and connect. I don't have an Apple computer, I have a PC, but I do have an Ipad and have had zero problems connecting. Iphone as well. the whole setup took about 10 minutes.

It works perfectly as an access point provided the device that is trying to connect to it is a 5GHz device, i.e., iPads will connect. iPhones 5 and above will connect. iPhones 4s and prior will not. A 2.4Ghz device will not connect. A 5Ghz device will.

I use it with my 5th generation iPod and my mom has used it for her iPhone. I also have a windows surface 2 with which it works great. It pretty much generates a wifi signal like your router at home or work does; you just select the wifi network, put it in your password and go!

Theresa,This adapter works great if you just TRANSFER data.My IPAD and other devices "talk" through this adapter without any problem.I don't own an IPAD 2 or 3 or an Iphone, so I have not tried these but they should work.*** CHARGING is a completely different story ***This adapter's power supply caused a problem to a previous computer, so I have not connected the power supply to this adapter ever since.My PC does not provide enough USB current to charge my IPAD when directly attached to its USB port.Much less when it is attached through this adapter without the help of its power supply. Hope this helps.

Will this unit integrate with an older (5-6 years old) iMac G5, running OS X & allow for wireless networking in a small home ? Thank you for any help, my wife was given the iMac by a friend to help her with her teaching work. I have a Verizon fios wireless router upstairs, my wife wants this in the living room/kitchen, if that is any help ?

I really don't know exactly if this works but as far as I know the technical differences are that the iPad 2 (Wi-Fi) only supports Wi-Fi, the iPad 2 (Wi-Fi/GSM/A-GPS [your iPad2 model] ) provides GSM and A-GPS support as well as Wi-Fi and the iPad 2 (Wi-Fi/CDMA/A-GPS) supports CDMA and A-GPS as well as Wi-Fi. Battery life is estimated to be ten hours over Wi-Fi for all models and nine hours over 3G, whether GSM or CDMA, for the applicable models. So I guess (but I'm not sure because I'm not an expert) there are no differences concerning the screen digitizer between the different iPad 2 models.

Just tried it on my iPad with Facetime (video and voice-only) and it worked great.I assume it will work with other applications such as Skype as well.

If you have problems re-pairing an Apple device (We couldn't get ours to reconnect after we'd had it paired with other devices) see my review of 6/5/13 for a fix. Let me know if this works for you! This only seems to be an issue with Apple devices. A friend had the same problem with an iPad and this worked.

I was unable to get it to pair with U-Verse. Not sure what your problems are, but I did download the uVerse App for my iPad 1 and , except for turning the Tc On and OFf, found it quite helpful. there is also an iPad Uverse app that lets you select programs to record

Confirm that the Apple device is a router. That it has DHCP server capability and an available LAN ethernet port. If so, it should work. Note: In order for the Network Extender to work, it has to be registered with Verizon, so don't purchase a used one since it will already be registered by someone else. Also note, the Network Extender needs to be located near a window so that it can acquire GPS satelites. It may come with a cable for remotely locating the GPS antenna.

No. This is only an iPad. You may use Facetime audio to make calls over the internet.

I have the asus adapter like you mention, but I don't have an apple router. I do know that this asus adapter lets my pc see g networks on older roughters and should see your time capsule. Without having you style roughter I can't really answer your question with certainty though.

Yes. It works like an airport express if you've used those. You set this device up to connect to your wireless network, then when your phone is on the same network it can stream directly to this via airplay. I've gotten it to connect easily to an Apple Basestation router but had trouble connecting it to a friends ATT router. Kinda hit or miss.

Have you checked called Apple to see if the IOS on an iTouch2 supports this device? I researched online to see which ones would work well with my iPad2, then purchased it here.

I heard that the newer, faster iPad 2 will be coming out by the end of February. Rumor is it might have 4G speed. It would probably be wise to wait a couple of months to see what Apple has to offer. I'm just saying....

I have my Apple TV connected directly to the range extender and works well with it. Air play works fine (I.e. Watching an Amazon Prime video streamed from my IPad). The only time I had some issues was when I tried to use everything through wifi. The connection, was kinda slow, I guess Ethernet will always beat wifi when it comes to video streaming.
