* Home Network Defender powered by Trend Micro is sold separately. Available in select routers.

** Network Magic for Mac Add-on is sold separately. Currently Network Magic for the Mac Add-on only enables printer sharing between Macs and PCs for printers supported by the Macintosh operating system. To view a list of supported printers, go to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301175. If your printer is not on the list or does not have an "X" under the "Modern Driver" column, it will not work. However, Apple is hard at work to improve printer compatibility. As they continue to build in more printer drivers to their OS, these will automatically be picked up by Network Magic.

† Wireless Protection/Network Lock works with certain routers. (Check List)
