Airport card MTU speed needs to be changed

How do I change the MTU speed on my airport card? Internet hangs and runs slow. Rouert is N1 and support says mtu should ne 1400. Cant figure out how to change it.

I had a similar problem; in the end I got tired of working with terminal because the changes are not permanent. I went Googling and found that the OSX utility application 'Cocktail' allows you to customise MTU settings permanently. There are several applications available, but I settled for the one mentioned. Works like a charm for me. Try it and see if it does for you.

Which airport card do i need for a imac g3 with mac os x 10.1?

I have a imac g3 with mac os x 10.1.What airport card will i need?

Hello puckey12345. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I have a imac g3 with mac os x 10.1.What airport card will i need?
The iMac G3s with a clock speed of 400 MHz or faster, has an internal slot for the original AirPort card. The AirPort card adapter is also required to use the card in an iMac G3. The AirPort Extreme card is NOT compatible.

Instead of getting a wireless card for the Mac Pro, you might want to consider getting an 802.11ac wireless bridge device that would enable you to connect more than one device to it by Ethernet cable and to eventually take advantage of the faster 802.11ac wireless standard.

Which Airport card do I need for an iMac G4 Flat Screen 15"?

Hi, I have an iMac G4 (flat screen, with silver arm and round base), 15".
I'd be extremely grateful if someone could let me know which Airport card I need for this Mac and also whether or not I also require an adaptor. I have looked this up on the Apple site and also in 'The Flatscreen iMac for Dummies' book (I'm a complete technophobe, I'm afraid!), but am none the wiser.
If possible, model numbers for the Airport card and adaptor that I do need would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Jeremy

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and click on More Info, or if you're running Mac OS 9, choose Apple System Profiler from the Apple menu. Check the speed of the computer's CPU; if it is below 1GHz, you need the regular AirPort card, with the AirPort Extreme card being used on newer iMacs. No iMac G4 requires an adaptor to use an AirPort card.

I have a Mac G4 (version=3.3) How can I connect it to my BT Broadband. It does not seem to have an AirPort card - do I need one and if so how do I get one? Many thanks

I bought a Power Mac G4 (version=3.3) second hand from my company. It is running Mac OS 10.2.8 and Microsoft Office X. I wish to connect it to my BT broadband hub. However, it does not appear to have an AirPort card and even if it did I was told that the BT hub mainly works with microsoft rather than apple products. Can anyone advise me how I can connect and what products I need to buy?
Many thanks

See http://www.airportcardsdirect.com/ these cards are cheap and not sold via DOA-Bay.

The PowerMac3,3 uses the original AirPort 802.11b card. It may also need a card adapter to enable it to mate with the internal connections - I'd have to check on that.
Not true. Those adaptors were intended for the iMac G3 (long outdated) and only the iMac G3. All G4 machines just take AP Cards the way they are.

You should also look into upgrading it to OS X "Tiger" but make sure you get the original retail install CD. It will be black with a large "X". Grey discs are machine specific and will not work.
Actually I HIGHLY recommend upgrading to OS X Leopard. Tiger is no longer supported by hardly anybody (Apple, Adobe, etc) and Leopard is still the minimum for most things nowadays. If you want more life out of this Mac, then I would highly recommend installing Leopard. And as mentioned above you NEED a Retail DVD. (The Leopard DVD has a little Purple in the Center of the DVD and a BLACK X in the center.

MacBook Airport Card Temperature/Speed

Macbook Penryn 2.4 GHz. iStat Pro says 157 F/68 C. Constantly. On the other hand the bottom does not feel that hot at all. Top cover is slightly warm, most of the time I will not even notice. After I disconnect the power adapter and instntly connect it back again, the temp goes down to 130 F/54 C in about 10 sec and gradually in matter of days it will go back up to 155 F and stay there. So I wonder if a) something is wrong with the power inside the MB or b) the sensor is totally messing it up and iStat Pro is reading the wrong info. I don't believe the problem is with the Airport Card. I already replaced 2 MBs on my third one. Still the same thing...AppleCare has no idea why this is happening. I replaced the macboook once. I am not going crazy about that, but I have another MB that I purchased November last year. It is 2.2 GHz and everything elese is exactly the same (i.e. software installed, processes, memory, hdd..). In exactly the same conditions the temp stays at 119F/48C. Additionally the download speed of my new MB (wireless) is at least 2 times slower than my relatively old MB. Tested this on 3 2.4 GHz MBs with the same poor download results. Upload is exactly the same.
Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks for your input. Just wanted to make sure it is not something out of ordinary. I moved my "old" Santa Rosa 2.2 GHz MB to draft-N and it seems that it runs at much lower temp than Penryn. I have not seen thou the CPU temp to be affected...That's why I am a little bit surprised...My understanding is that there is no Airport Card temp censor and the calculations are hypothetical and NOT precise...

Is an Airport card all I need?

Hi everyone: I have a 1.8 GHz 20" iMac G5 running Tiger 10.4.11. I didn't have an AirPort card installed when I bought it, but now I need one so that I can use my iMac for presentations when I'm away from home. (My network is not wireless at home except for an AirPort Express base station so that I can use my PowerBook anywhere in the house.)
Normally I would not lug my iMac around for presentations, but I don't have a projector to use with my laptop, so this will work for now. Anyway, my question is whether I'll need anything else in order to connect the iMac to the wireless network in the building where I'll be? And I would be looking for an 802.11b/g, right?
Thanks for your help.

Another question: how do these compare with an AirPort card?

What airport card do I need??

Have a 15" Titanium G4. Not sure what card I need or where to get it??
Any help?
Thanks,
Tim

Hi, Tim. If you want an Apple card, you need the original Airport card (802.11b). An Airport Extreme card (802.11g, later 802.11n) won't fit the slot or connect to your computer's antenna.
A better choice, perhaps, unless you will absolutely need to use your Powerbook's CardBus slot while you're wirelessly online, is to buy a third-party CardBus wireless adapter. Any of the three cards listed below will work transparently with Apple's own Airport software — no additional drivers needed. They will all give you better wireless reception at longer range than an Apple Airport card would, because their antennas are in the part of the cards that project about 3/4" outside the Tibook's metal case. The projecting end of the card can be at risk of physical damage, especially if you leave the card in place during transit, but that's the only drawback of these cards other than the fact that you can't use the CardBus slot for anything else while you're online.

Which Airport card do I need for my G4?

I have a dual processor G4 (1.25 GHz), bought in March 2003 and want to set it up to use with a Netgear wireless router at home.
Can I just buy & install the current Airport Extreme card or will I need to trawl EBay auctions for an older Airport card?

The only PowerMac G4 model that can use an Airport Extreme card is the one with an 800Mbps Firewire interface. If this describes your PowerMac G4 model (the other specs your provided including purchase date and dual 1.25GHz certainly are consistent with you owing this model) then yes - you can install an Airport Extreme card into it.

Problems with my AirPort card -- in dire need of help!

Hello everyone.
Something very odd and equally horrible has just happened.
I've turned on my MacBook Pro 15" and - poof! - apparently it's as if the AirPort Card (which has worked perfectly well for over a year now) were no longer there, meaning that the computer just won't "see" it.
I really am at a loss to explain this because earlier in the afternoon I used my MacBook Pro as usual and everything was fine -- I didn't do anything besides surfing the Net, as I always do. Now I've turned it on and it's as if there were no AirPort Card in the computer.
The AirPort network, on the other hand, keeps working all right (I'm writing on another Mac on the same network).
What's wrong?!?!?! Is it a hardware issue? Is my Card simply busted? Or could it be a software issue (dunno - viruses or whatever else)??
Thank you, I'm desperate!

It seems it won't be necessary -- this is beyond weird!
I've just re-turned on my Mac (which I had already tried to do a couple of times before posting my question, even allowing some time for the computer to cool off and relax, but unsuccessfully) and the AirPort Card is working again...what the bloody hel*?! Hopefully it is going to keep behaving properly for good, now!
Anyway, thank you so much for your help, I'll note down your suggestion in case it happens again in the future!
Have a nice day

I have an Intel Imac Tiger 10.4 w/ built-in Airport card...Need help please

I live in the sticks, so I am using a Verizon EVDO Broadband USB modem for internet connection (works great by the way)....I also have a Windows XP PC with a Belkin Wireless card....My question:
Can I share my Mac's internet connection without buying or using a router or ethernet cable? Can I do it safely? Thanks so much.....

Thanks for the info.....I have the "network" up and am able to use the mac's internet connection....However, when I try to enable the WEP encryption (40 bit), I lose the network and connection....I am inputting a 5 digit password into the Mac software, and adding that same password into the Belkin wireless software on the PC....But no go....As soon as I disable the encryption, I pick the signal back up....I am running the firewall and stealth modes....Will this be secure enough if I don't enable file sharing ?
Thanks for helping....

What is needed to network 2 computers using Airport card

I know I need an airport card in my eMac, but is there any other cards that have to be in the computer? I want to network my eMac with an iMac using a DSL line. The eMac will be downstairs and the iMac will be upstairs. I'm waiting for delivery from Apple of the iMac. It has everything built in that is needed to network but my eMac doesn't. To make my eMac wireless is all I have to buy is an Airport Card and a Wireless Gateway for the iMac which is the computer connected to the DSL modem and Wireless USB adapter with connects to the eMac? What type of Airport Card do I need to buy for my eMac (model #'s etc.) It is the card that inserts above the super drive in the front of the computer. Is there any software that is needed to install Airport?

I am also doing some configuration changes (we have one Imac and two eMac's)
but one eMac does not have a airport card and is hardwired (ethernet) to the high speed cable modem then a apple airport. One Imac and the Emac with a airport card work fine, it is a bit tricky finding the correct airport card (or airport extreme card if you have a ATI graphics card (use about the mac/system profiler then click on more to see if you have a graphics card (which affects which airport card you need, there are alot of resellers on the net so you should find what you want.
If in doubt there is a free program mactracker which provides data on every mac made (available off off versiontracker.com (free site just register) it will guide
you on the type of card needed. I was quite amazed at the amount of different spec eMac's made in their relativealy short history.
Macwireless.com does sell eMac cards (for two models) but also antenna type
or flash drive appearing USB based wireless connectors that may help.
I found the mactracker program helpful (alot) as alot of web sites provide some vague info and I would hate to se you get stuck with a non returnable card.
The actual card install does not look hard (its done through the cd rom drive door.
I am not sure why we did not get a airport card for ours when we bought it.
Wish I did as it would have saved some $ (maybe) and surf time making sure I find the right one.
We did have a antenna wireless antenna for a "green" Imac (long gone) and it ran on OS9 but it was finicky when we had the airport base station upstairs
and the Imac and antenna in the basement (about 50-75 feet)
Best of luck
Hope this helps, I am not a expert, the serial number on the cd drawer will
nail down the model you have and what you need.
We have been working adding a laser printer and airport express and the two macs with cards work fine but the Emac with no card can not be set up yet. The laser printer will sure save on ink!

Using AP express to connect Mac Pro w/o airport card to internet

Hi, I am using an Airport Express station to connect my Mac Pro to the internet. I am doing so by having my Airport Express connected to my main Airport Extreme base station and have the Mac Pro plugged into the Airport Express' ethernet port.
Once I do this everything works fine and my Mac Pro gets really fast internet for about 5 minutes and then it cuts out completely. Nothing can get the internet working except unplugging the Airport Express and plugging it back in.
Anyone know what the problem is?
My Mac Pro doesn't have an Airport card and only needs to connect to the internet once a month for updates so it is not worth it to install one.
Any help would be appreciated.

Correct if you want to use the Thunderbolt connector on the Mac.
The curious thing is.....the Mac can connect to the Express at up to 300 Mbps using wireless, but will be limited to 100 Mbps using the Ethernet port on the Express.
So, if you are looking for connection speed, wireless may well be much faster than the Ethernet connection.

Cost of airport card

does anyone know the cost of an airport card for a powerbook g4? got my logic board replaced and airport card hasn't been installed onto it?

(a) sconn69 is in Ireland.
(b) The card you are referring to is the AirPort Extreme card. Depending on sconn6's PowerBook G4 the original AirPort card may be needed.
