actually, I cannot get ae and netgear to communicate under wep. WPA works. This is dismaying news but I am using Macs with my wpn82-v2 just fine. I am not able to do all things with it using the Mac but certainly i can configure it in windows and then use the AE to stream my audio. I am pondering a new router at any rate since I have growing needs.

However, today's MacInTouch reader report about "Mac Marginalization" had some dismaying news about NetGear's future support (or lack thereof) plans for the Mac: http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/macmarginalization/index.html#d19jun2008 (MacInTouch Reader Reports: Mac Marginatlization) <begin excerpt> I have a very nice NetGear Router, an FR114. So, wanting a wireless router, I bought a NetGear WNR834M. It was very nice, and very fast, although it would only accept ten expressions in the "block these sites" feature, whereas the old one I had would accept an unlimited number. BUT - although I was able to store the router configuration settings, I was completely unable to restore them! Worse, I was also unable to upgrade the firmware, leaving me stuck with the original version (there have been FIVE upgrades published since the original). I contacted tech support for NetGear. They replied promptly (although they insisted on phone communication instead of the email that I prefer). Unfortunately their reply was, incredibly, that those two features, upgrade and setting restoration, were supported *only using Windows*! Moreover they stated that they had no plans to ever support the Mac - or Unix of Linux for that matter! <end excerpt> Cheers, Esther On June 16, 2008, at 06:11AM, David Poehlman wrote: >Hi Tim, > >I reset it with the reset button and plugged it into the cabel modem.
