The other option is a wireless bridge involving 2 wireless routers that are connected together to "bridge" the gap between your computer's location and your modem. I run a pair of Asus RT-N15's to bridge my network media player at my home theatre to my media server in my office. Very easy to setup and more than fast enough to stream 1080p bluray rips. However, I don't use that connection for anything other than media streaming, I have a 3rd wireless router that provides network/Internet access for my wife's laptop and both of our iPhones.

Can you recommend a router that is compatible with Mac? My Base station router isnt an option. it is a Modem/router supplied by Verizon.

Works with my Lenovo and my brothers MBP. Dual Band, 300MPBS, and works a long ways from the base in the computer room, i still get a strong signal in my neighboors house.

Not cheap, but worth the money IMO.

Routers don't care that your computer is mac.

Only Ethernet adapters do
