How to compare Apple Airport specs to "Wireless-G" and "Super-G" specs?

(and other faster specs)
Specifically - is my builtin Airport Extreme "card" [405.1 (3.90.34.0.p18)] faster than just the "wireless-G" specs found in mass-market wireless routers (Linksys, d-link, Netgear, etc)?
My previous wireless-G router got toasted, and I will upgrade if the extra expense will gain me added utility.
Thanks for your time.

Hi, Bruce. Your card complies with the same 802.11g standard as all the other "g" equipment on the market. "Airport Extreme" is just Apple's name for it.

    My Apple Airport Express is blinking Amber and I cannot find it with the utility

    Hi, had the same problem -
    1) Connected AE to Time Capsule with Ethernet cable - Configured it  - All worked fine
    2) Removed Ethernet cable between AE og TC - All worked fine
    3) Unpluged my AE from the socket outlet (power off) and pluged it inn where its supposed to be (2m from my Time Capsule)
    4) Now Airport Utility do not find me AE (after all i reconfigured through the Etheret calbe) ????
    A) Seems that Airport Utility are not able to "see" any wireless AE, only configurable by Ethernet Cable.
    B) Seems that AE are not able to reconnect to configured network after a power loss.
    This is a little bit ****** - older airport utility had none of the problems (A and B)

  • Can an Airport extend a wireless network and support a USB printer at the same time?

    Can an Airport extend a wireless network and support a USB printer at the same time?

    Yes, if the AirPort Express is extending the wireless signal produced by another Apple router. The Express cannot wirelessly extend a network produced by a non-Apple router.
    In addition to extending the network and connecting a printer, AirPlay can also be enabled on the AirPort Express, with all services operating simultaneously.
    Please note that only the print function will work if you connect an All-in-One type device to the USB port on the Express. Advanced features like copy, scan, mainentance, etc are not supported when an All-in-One device is connected to the USB port on an AirPort router.

  • I use Time Capsule and Airport for my wireless connection and my speeds stink!

    I am getting horrible speeds (250K downloads) any suggestions. I have the time capsule and the Airport for my wireless connection and I have a new MacBook Pro. My download speeds are about 250K. I have turned off my wireless and plugged into my network with a physical connection and I get great speeds so something is wrong wiht my wireless connection /setup......any suggestions?

    Yep much better.
    I recommend the following ..
    Set wireless and TC names to SMB standard.. short, no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
    Lock the wireless channels and set a different name for 5ghz and also lock its channel.
    Use only WPA2 Personal security with a decent passkey.. generally 8-12 characters is plenty. Still follow the rules.. pure alphanumeric mix of upper lower case and numerals..
    If that does not improve things.. how old is the TC.. the wireless output does seem to slide as they age.
    A simple WAP connected to the TC can provide far superior wireless for very little money.

  • How to change apple id on iPhone. Wife and I have same apple ID.  Get each others iMessages. want to put her on another cloud with different id.

    How to change apple id on iPhone? Wife and I have same apple ID which causes me to get her iMessages instead of her. I also get all her pics on my phone and I don't want them.  We need to change her apple ID without causing my ID and cloud to be closed.

    Have her create a new ID.   Here:  https://appleid.apple.com/
    Have her log out of iMessage/Facetime/iCloud on her device.   Now have her use the new ID she has created.
    That should keep the 2 of you separated, except for iTunes purchases.   You can share that ID in a family up to 5 devices.

  • How much does Apple charge to replace cracked trackpad and keyboard

    So some idiot decided to wreck a couple of keys off my macbook and brake the plastic on the back of the keys... and then decided to try and superglue it back on and whilst in the process managed to get a bit of glue in the top right section of the trackpad. Then went on to try and loosen it etc and in doing so managed to slightly crack that area on the upper right of the trackpad. My question is how much will apple charge me to replace keyboard and/or the trackpad?

    Call your local Apple Store or take your computer in for an estimate. We can't give you an answer.

  • Are apple airport wlan card M7600LL/A and apple airport wlan card M7600LL/E the same

    Is there any technical difference between the Apple Airport WLAN card M7600LL/A and the Apple Airport WLAN card M7600LL/E?
    Thanks forward and best regards.

    Apparently they are physically similar. However, the E model is the last of the genre and has a few more features as you will see here.

  • Apple Airport Extreme No Wireless Signal

    Other than downgrading firmware, re-installing software or reinstalling an older OS (Windows style thinking), does anyone have a solution to this problem
    I have an Apple Airport Extreme that has recently become useless because it emits or receives no radio signals.
    I was running a Wireless Distributions System for a couple of years without any problems. The Extreme was the base connected by Ethernet to a cable modem. I had an Express as a relay station.
    One day the Extreme stopped. Naturally, the WDS died. I played with the Extreme for a 1/2 day, but couldn't it too work. I made the Express into my sole Wifi base. Workable but not ideal, I now have dead zones in my house.
    I finally found time to spend (waste) another day trying to get the Extreme working again. No luck. Some observations:
    - the only useful advice I found to date, was to set the Extreme from automatic to a specific channel, the Extreme worked for about 20 mins. Strangely, my iBook couldn't find the signal, but my Dell PC could!
    - I can get Internet access when use the LAN Ethernet outlet on the Extreme
    - the centre status light is one, the LAN is on, the wireless is out
    - Amazingly, at one point disconnected the LAN cable between the Extreme and my iBook, and launched the Airport Utility and it found the Extreme wirelessly!!!
    - Not only that, but I could configure the Extreme wirelessly!!
    - Yet during that time and after, the Extreme emitted no wireless signal - checked by Windows and Mac Laptop
    - So if the hardware is emitting a signal that allows for configuration but not simple internet access, it is probably not a hardware problem and sure looks like a software problem, most likely between the OS and firmware.
    - I have upgraded the Extreme to 5.7, many posts say go back to 5.5 but only a few claim this actually works.
    - I am running Mac OS 10.3.9 on all my various Macs. Apple software updates are current.
    This wave of posts reminds me of time when iBooks had a faulty motherboards. This looks like an easier fix, a firmware or software patch.
    If anyone has a real solution, as opposed to an experimental one, I would appreciate it. Other posts recommend switching to more reliable third party hardware, I guess it might come to that.
    Thanks.

    Sounds like possible interference from a new neighbor's wireless network. Have you tried other wireless channels to see if you can find some clearer airspace?
    AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > Wireless Tab (below the icons)
    Hold down the option key on your Mac as you click on the Channel selection box to see more choices.
    You might also want to download a utility like Air Radar to display all of the visible networks in your area. Click on Scan at the lower right of the main window. Look for the channels that other networks are using and set your router to a channel that is as far away as possible.

  • Apple Airport Express & Extreme wireless download speed

    This is the photo that I took from my airport express.  Does it mean that my maximum download speed is 100Mbps even though I subscript to a 200Mbps fibre plan?
    What is the maximum download speed for the Apple Airport Express and Extreme?

    Sorry, I don't have an iMac, so cannot answer without guessing. I will say that the settings on my MacBook Pro regarding the Ethernet port are found as follows:
    System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) > Network > Ethernet > Advanced > Hardware

  • Airport Express icw wireless modem and B&O sound system

    Hi all,
    I am considering buying the Airport Extreme. Main reasons are:
    1) playing iTunes via the sound system and
    2) wireless connection possibility to external hard disc.
    I will use it in combination with my current wireless modem and B&O sound system.
    From where my internet enters the house it is quite a distance to the sound system location that I can not easily (esthetically acceptable) connect to the sound system.
    My main questions are:
    1) Is Airport Extreme the right system to buy?
    2) Can the Airport Extreme audio output signals be combined through 1 cable for both iTunes and cable radio?
    3) Can I use the Airport Extreme device for playing movies on my television as well?
    I am quite an amature if it comes down to setting up networks and systems, so all (low key) tips are more than welcome. Many thanks in advance!
    Kindest regards,
    Robbie W

    Ummm.....
    The express will not extend your modem, since Apple hasn't shipped its own brand modem for years. You can't extend third party routers.  You can try a few tricks if you have ethernet cables though...

  • Using Airport Express for wireless printing and possibly streaming music

    I have had the toughest time figuring out this Airport Express. It seems there are so many different ways to set it up. I've tried to read forums but just can't seem to wrap my head around what I need to do. I tried awhile back to join my network wirelessly but was having problems.
    I don't really care about extending my current network. My internet service is through Verizon Fios and the router they provided works just fine and don't have any issues with connecting anywhere in the house. I bought the AE to be able to print wirelessly and stream music from my iMac in another room.
    So to print wirelessly obviously the printer has to be plugged in to the AE, but does the AE have to be plugged into my router? Or can I have the AE anywhere in the house wherever the printer is? When I print, am I using my existing network or do I have to disconnect a computer from the wireless network and access a 2nd network to be able to print?
    My first priority is to print wirelessly. If I can get it to work It'd be cool to stream music from my iMac. Obviously the AE needs to be where the speakers are, but again, does the AE have to plugged in to the router? And again, is this done through my existing network? Or do I have to stream music through a 2nd network? I apologize if i'm asking the same questions that have been asked in previous forums, I just haven't been successful thus far so wanted to see what response or tips I could get. Thanks.
    My existing network has "WPA Personal" security set up on it if you need to know that.

    but does the AE have to be plugged into my router? Or can I have the AE anywhere in the house wherever the printer is?
    If you configure the Express correctly to "join" your FIOS wireless network, you can position it anywhere that it will receive a good, strong wireless signal.
    The trick to setting the Express up to "join" is that you must choose exactly the same type of security for the Express as your main router is using. This is tricky when you are using devices from two different manufacturers because they often use different names for the same thing.
    For example, when you say that the FIOS is setup to WPA Personal, we really need more information. There's usually a TKIP or AES associated with WPA. You have two choices on the Express for WPA settings, WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal. We can only guess which one might be the correct match for your FIOS network and if you don't choose the right setting, the Express cannot join the network and you have to start the configuration all over again from scratch and try the other setting.
    Does your Fios have a setting for WPA2 Personal? Some manufacturers label this WPA2-PSK (AES). Or, maybe you find that your FIOS is using WPA-PSK (TKIP), which is the same thing as Apple WPA/WPA2 Personal. It's confusing. That's why we tell users to choose wireless gear from the same manufacturer. It's much easier when two devices talk the same language.
    When I print, am I using my existing network or do I have to disconnect a computer from the wireless network and access a 2nd network to be able to print?
    If you have a compatible printer plugged into the USB port on the AirPort Express and have "installed" the printer by setting it up, you will be able to print over your existing wireless network.
    First things first. You need to get the Express setup to "join" correctly and get a green light. Then, tackle the printer setup.

  • How can I get AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow 4.2.5 to work with OS10.6?

    I've upgraded to the latest version of Mac OS and now AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow 4.2.5 won't run. Any suggestions on how to either run this utility or otherwise get access to my old Snow Dual Airport via another method? Airport Utility doesn't see the device, despite repeated scans. My computer and iPad connect no problem to the device, but both iPod and iPhone won't take and hold an IP address. (If any one can help me solve this issue, I can live without access the Airport.)
    Thanks,

    Unfortunately, you will need another Mac running a much earlier version of OS X to be able to install AirPort Admin Utility and make any settings chances to the router.
    Since the normal life of a wireless router is around 5-6 years of use, now might be the time to consider a new router that will provide far better performance than the older Graphite/Snow AirPort.

  • How to configure the airport extreme as wireless bridge?

    how can i configiure the airport to function as a wireless bridge?
    i have connected my airport now with a wire to the modem/router delivered by the local internetprovider (THomson DWG850).
    Since this device has not much reach I want to connect the airport extreme wireless and position in the living room to have better reach?
    or do i need toc hang the settings in the Thomson? does anyone know where to find the admin password of the Thomson?
    thanks in advance
    Eric

    how can i configiure the airport to function as a wireless bridge?
    Sorry, but it is not possible to configure the AirPort Extreme for this type of setup. You will need to connect the AirPort Extreme to the Thomson router using an Ethernet connection.
    does anyone know where to find the admin password of the Thomson?
    Google turned this up in 5 seconds. There may be others if you look.
