Set up for RE1000 Range Extender on Mac OS X Lion 10.7 [ Edited ]

[dthurney]

The following is an informational post, good help is hard to find (I almost returned to the store.)

I purchased the Linksys RE1000 Wireless-N Range Extender on 11/12/2011. When running the setup CD that came in the box on my iMac with Mac OS X Lion 10.7 I received the following message:

Unsupported operating system
The Linksys Range Extender setup software supports these operating systems:

- Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later

- Mac OS X 10.5.1 or later

For support information on other versions of Mac OS X, visit:

http://homesupport.cisco.com/linksys/support

From there I clicked on 'Get Linksys Support'

http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/linksys

Then choose:

RE1000

Wireless-N Range Extender/Bridge

Then click on 'Downloads' tab

At left look for

Cisco Connect Setup Software for Mac

07/21/2011

Ver.1.1.11201.0

Download and run this version to set up your extender.

If these options aren't available to you be sure to register on the site and then register your product.

Well, now there is a new release of Cisco Connect software which supports Mac OS X Lion 10.7.. The Linksys Range Extender setup software supports these operating systems as well:

- Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later

- Mac OS X 10.5.1 or later

.

Here is the link for the release notes: http://homedownloads.cisco.com/downloads/187/426/RE1000.Setup.1.1.Release.Notes,0.txt

yup... RE1000 is not compatible with the Lion OS.  AFAIK, only a few linksys routers are compatible with OS Lion.  So, I guess you'll have to configure your RE1000 with another PC

Actually the RE1000 is compatible with Lion, but you can't use the CD that came in the box for setup. You need to download the latest Mac setup file from the linksys site as described above.

I followed the directions. Here are my only options for downloads: (the mac version gives me the same error)

Hi,

I suggest you manually configure the extender instead.

This link will help you.
