Hi all, I'm considering getting an 'N' rated wireless router and I noticed that one I've seen online (not Apple's) has a review which says:
"We like the Wake-on-LAN feature, which you can use to wake a computer over the internet. All you have to do is save your target PCs MAC address in the routers Wake-on-LAN list, connect to the dedicated web page from over the internet and wake your computer." However, on my iMac's help it says: "If you’re sharing your computer’s resources, such as a shared printer or iTunes playlist, you can set your computer to wake from sleep when other users access those resources. To use this feature, you need an Apple wireless device that supports 802.11n, with the latest firmware installed." So, are Apple twiddling the Mac hardware so that I MUST use an Apple router or are they being economical with the truth? Also, has anyone any recommendations for ADSL 2+ wireless N routers that they've used? Thanks in advance for any thoughts. Cheers, Stephen “The Gulf of Mexico is a very big ocean.
