Jun 10, 2015 6:50 AM in response to Gmouse1by Linc Davis,You need a router that supports both Bonjour and NAT-PMP or UPnP. I don't know whether yours does as there is no way I would ever use any Linksys product.

Jun 10, 2015 8:59 AM in response to Linc Davisby Gmouse1,Thanks, Linc. I don't see any setting for Bonjour (is that just enabling a port or something?), I DO have UPnP checked, and I do have Use NAT checked, but, don't see a setting for NAT-PMP. From Googling, it seems Windows needs UPnP, while OSX needs NAT-PMP? But then I found something saying Back To My Mac will work with either--but, I still get the warning when I turn it on.
Funny but my iMac has a wired connection to the same router, and it does NOT get the error message, just the wireless MacBook...
Thanks.

The warranty on the MacBook entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.

Jun 10, 2015 9:14 AM in response to Linc Davisby Gmouse1,Linc, I checked out CNET's router reviews. Would the ASUS RT-AC3200 or Apple AirPort Extreme be better to use?
Thanks.
