USB wireless Modems for MAC

Hi Apple users,
Could an one tell me which USB wireless internet Modems support MAC OS X leopard 10.5.6 macbooks? Could you also tell me which one is the best and efficient USB modem for the MAC books? You help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You'll need to clarify what you're looking for. Do you need an actual phone-line modem? There are boxes you can connect to wirelessly and then dial out, but they're not as popular as they used to be. Likewise, are you looking for a phone line modem for the MacBook? Apple has one they officially support -- I think it's actually made by US Robotics.
What do you mean by "efficient"? Lowest power consumption? Best speed? Least heat?
If you're looking for what the cable and DSL providers call a "modem", nobody can recommend one until they know what you plan to connect it to. Most of them are actually routers or bridges, and not real modems (modulator-demodulator).

    Note carefully please that this feature requires your service plan to include the capability...not all service plan levels include it, and not all carriers offer it. Further, sometimes additional software for your computer must be obtained from the carrier. But, any and all carrier-specific questions about this must be addressed to the carrier...here, we can only give you the generic information...your carrier must provide you with any specific information required.

  • My Bluetooth USB wireless transmitter for my portable speakers has quit working.  Preferences says, "The selected device has no output controls", it used to work just fine.  Can anybody help?

    My Bluetooth USB wireless transmitter for my portable BT speakers has quit working.  Preferences says, "The selected device has no output controls", it used to work just fine.  The internal and a pair of wired external speakers work fine.  Can anybody help?

    Just tested something and it worked.
    If I put the headphones all the way in, the mac recognizes it as a digital output.
    But if i don't put it all the way in, it recognizes it as headphones and works perfectly.
    It's probably this crappy headphones.
    If anyone has the same problem, try this out.

  • Suggest me a usb sound card for mac mini

    please suggest me a usb sound card for mac mini (i need 5.1 sound)

    The Griffin Technology FireWave will give you the 3 'cables' ("FireWave outputs six channel audio through three 1/8” (3.5mm) stereo mini-jacks: Left/Right, Center/Subwoofer and Right Surround/Left Surround.") connection for surround sound (speakers) audio. Whether or not a particular headphone set is compatible, you might ask Griffin directly about that. If you're playing a DVD with VLC or the Apple DVD Player, you will get surround sound. But, you'd have to find an MP3 with multi-channel audio inside it to play surround sound out of iTunes.

    Hello Flajack,
    Thanks for the post.  I did some checking here and the HP 3050a is compatible with MAC OS 10.7 in a wireless environment.  What kind of issues are you having?  Installation? Connectivity?  Maintaining a wireless connection?  I've included a couple of my favorite links below to assist in getting this resolved.  Check the information in these links and let me know how it goes from there.  Good Luck!

  • HP laserjet P1100 wireless connection for mac

    Hoping for a quick response.... I have a Mac with 10.8.5 and I have purchased an HP Laserjet P1100 wireless printer. I have tried installing the drivers to print wireless...ly with no success. I have taken time out to type this message because I have not been able to find someone who has had  the same issue in the internet. I need a walk thru because there are many steps where the issue may be occuring. Your written installation documentation conflicts with your User Guide PDF file. Cord or no cord during driver installation for wireless connection???  Was lost after #5 page 18 on the User Guide PDF file.
    I figured it out. Your directions are misleading and not up to date. Cord is not an issue but needed for entire install process. At one point I'm in my system prefs then I'm on my web browser where I  found Bonjour which added the network to my printer choices so now I can print wirelessly... hopefully I don't have to do that again because I'm not sure of the steps I took. Fairly complex set up.

    Hey @matt4,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I see that you have a Mac OS X 10.8.5 and a new HP Laserjet P1100 series printer and are looking for quick and easy wireless configuration steps. I just have one question for you:
    Do you have a P1100 or a P1102w?
    What's my Model Number?
    I'm going to assume that you have a Laserjet P1102w. The steps for wireless configuration of a Laserjet P1102w are a bit confusing on Mac OS X 10.8 as you need to use the generic Apple Airprint driver because there is no 'Full Feature Software and Driver' installation for that Operating System. In saying that, I will try my best to give you easy steps to reference should you need to configure your printer again on the wireless network.
    How to Connect the Printer to the Network:
    Step 1: Install the Generic Mac Printer Driver:
    1. Turn your printer on
    2. Plug your USB cable from the printer directly into your Mac
    3. Click on the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences
    4. Click Print & Scan and make sure your printer is in the list of available devices.
    5. If your printer is not listed, click the plus () sign at the bottom left pane, click the name of your USB printer, and then click Add.
    Step 2: Connect the Printer to the Wireless Network:
    I've added the video above so you can view these step-by-step instructions.
    Click the Apple icon (), and then click System Preferences.
    Click Print & Scan.
    Click Open Print Queue, and then click Printer Setup.
    Click the Utility tab, and then click Open Printer Utility.
    Click HTMLConfig.
    Click the Networking tab, and then click Wireless from the list on the left.
    Under Communication Mode, click Infrastructure, select your network SSID from the Available Network Names (SSID) list, and then click the << button.
    From the Security Mode pop-up menu under Authentication, click WEP or WPA/WPA2. Your selection depends on the wireless security protocol your network uses.
    Note: If your network does not have wireless security, leave the Security Mode set to Open System (No Authentication).
    Type your WEP/WPA/WPA2 key in the appropriate field, and then click Apply.
    In the confirmation box, click OK, and then close the HTML Config and Print Queue windows.
    Step 3: Delete the USB connected printer, and then add the wireless connected printer:
    In the Print & Scan window under Printers, click your printer name, and then click the Minus sign () to remove it.
    NOTE: This removes the USB connection from the list so that the only entry for your printer is the wireless connection.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the printer and the computer.
    Under Printers, click the Plus sign ().
    Select your printer name with Bonjour as the Kind, and then click Add
    Once your printer is configured for Bonjour, if you have other Mac OS X computers that you want to use with this network printer you do not have to run all these steps again. You simply make sure that the other Mac computers are all connected to the same network that you have set your printer up on and just open Print & Scan. Under Printers click the  () plus sign and select your  printer name with Bonjour as the Kind, and then click Add.
    You can reference all of this information in: Setting Up the Printer for a Wireless Network for the HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer
    Let me know if these steps help clear up any confusion for you. Good luck!

  • No airport card easiest way to access wireless can you use a usb wireless on the mac

    My mac pro is not equiped wirelessly, what is the easiest way to access internet wirelessly.
    CanI purchase a usb wireless to work on the mac pro?

    yes, you sure can.usb wifi adapters are availabe for your Mac Pro. try afterthemac.com. I don't work for them, just the first page that popped up. Dlink
    makes something, but you may have heard a few stories about how DLink might be
    'iffy' (someone else's words, not mine). Oh, and apparently, you can make an antenna signal  booster out of an aluminum can.....
    anyways, best of luck

  • Can't find driver update for Webshuttle DSL modem - for Mac OS 10.4

    Hi!
    I recently updated to Mac OS 10.4.8 and discovered my DSL modem no longer functioned. I use the Webshuttle DSL from Hermstedt. I went online to hermstedt.com to download the driver for Mac OS 10.4 - I was using Mac OS 10.3 prior to the upgrade, and found that there are no longer drivers to download as the company has gone bust. Can anyone advise me on how to get the driver for Webshuttle so I can use the modem on my Mac OS 10.4.8 system?
    Hope you can help.
    Regards,
    Veronica

    I assume that's a USB Modem?
    If so, I have many differen't brands where the drivers from 10.2.x and 10.3.x still work in 10.4.10, but the original installs had to be uninstalled, or hand remove all files, then reinstall, reboot seems to work.
    No idea if that'll work for you.

  • USB Wireless Adaptor for eMac

    I still have to check them out but I do not believe the eMacs in question have a built in wireless option. I am told they are running OS 10.3 and I was looking for recommendations on adding wireless to about 10 eMacs for a teacher that wants them networked but the classroom does not have any available network ports to even plug in a network switch too. USB wireless adaptor would be good unless I have to use an internal Airport card or something I guess that is fine.

    Check out the eMac specifications, for example, here. Depending upon the model, you could install an AirPort or AirPort Extreme card. This is probably the easiest way. See also the KB articles HT1621 and HT3024.
    You could per se try USB wireless adapters, but only if appropriate Mac drivers are available (if at all, usually only for Mac OS X 10.3 or higher).
    Another solution could be wireless Ethernet bridge devices (also called gaming adapters). These units (such as Belkin F5D7330, D-Link DWL-G810, D-Link DWL-G820, Linksys WET54G, Linksys WGA600N and Netgear WGE111) do not require special drivers and can be used under almost any operating system. Not all models (or versions of a model) offer WPA security. You could connect a wireless Ethernet bridge directly to each computer (the Ethernet port). Alternatively, it ought to be possible to use wired Ethernet (via a switch) between the computers, and then one bridge device as a connection point to an existing wireless network.

  • Time Capsule and USB Wireless adaptor for PC

    I can't seem to find a USB wireless adapter that I can use to connect my Windows XP desktop PC with my Time Capsule/Airport. I have a Notebook PC that I was able to connect with no problem using my existing wireless PC card. I have tried several USB adapters for my desktop, but nothing sees my network. I've also tried to update to the latest drivers for my adapters. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, any answers?

    There is no difference between the TC and other routers as far as networking is concerned. It is fully compliant to the usual standards.
    Your wireless USB network adapters should work just fine. A lot will depend on how you have your TC configured. If it is setup for 802.11n only, then if your USB adapters are 802.11b or g, they won't be able to see it. If you have the TC's SSID disabled, they won't be able to see it. If you are using WPA2 and the USB adapters only support WEP or WPA security, they won't work either.
    You typically have to find the lowest common denominator and configure everything based on that.
