AirPort Extreme 802.11n* Enabler for Mac 4 use with Touch?

Hello,
I have a 2nd Gen Touch with the latest updated software. I use Airport to connect to the internet on my new iMac 24". Will the AirPort Extreme 802.11n* Enabler software now offered in the Apple store($1.99) for Mac improve communications between the Touch and my iMac?
Thanks

Nope. Your touch is still limited to b/g mode wireless. In fact, if you have an all n network, your touch won't even know that it exists.
Most of your Mac to iPod communication is via the USB cable unless you are using Remote or other applications that can move files on and off.
BTW, that software is to enable early intel Macs to use N wireless. If your Mac is relatively new, you won't need it.

  • AirPort Extreme 802.11n* Enabler for Mac

    I just downloaded the enabler for my 20" iMac and when I try to install it, it states "Your computer does not meet the hardware requirements for this update." It's my understanding that only the 17" iMac and the Mac mini aren't supported. Anyone else experience this?

    If you recently got you imac and it's a core 2 duo, check if you already have it installed using this quote form appleinsider.com
    The company recommends that customers check to make sure that their Mac does not already have the 802.11n enabler installed before purchasing the software patch. To do so, Intel Mac owners should open the "Network Utility" application (found in the Applications > Utilities folder), choose "Network Interface (en1)" under the "Info" tab, and then inspect the information provided under "Model: Wireless Network Adapter." If it says "(802.11a/b/g/n)," the Mac already has the 802.11n enabler installed. If it says (802.11a/b/g), the Mac does not have the 802.11n enabler installed.

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n Enabler wont install

    hi,
    i just bought the Airport Extreme 802.11n Enabler for my MacBook Intel Core Duo. when i opened the disk image and tried to install, i got an alert saying my computer does not meet the hardware requirements - even though it is a MacBook Intel Core Duo.
    i followed all instructions on the Apple Store page before purchasing, including checking my Network Utility to verify whether i needed the software. currently i only have the 802.11 a/b/g adapter. see:
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/canadastore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=B4 8E8262&nplm=D4141ZM%2FA
    any suggestions? my MacBook is a week 25 model.
    thanks,

    Your computer needs to be a Core 2 Duo-based Mac for the enabler to install, as the necessary hardware isn't present on an older processor or a 1.83GHz 17-inch iMac. If your computer supports the enabler, install this software and try installing the enabler again.

  • AirPort Extreme 802.11n* Enabler Problems

    I just bought the AirPort Extreme 802.11n* Enabler for my 2 GHz MacBook with and Intel Core 2 Duo processor recently and when I try to install it, it tells me, "Your computer does not meet the hardware requirements for this update." I have installed all of the software updates that are available and it is still not working. Anyone have any ideas?!

    There isn't much you can do... There are ways of taking apart your macbook and replacing the Airport extreme card inside but it probably isn't worth it. I guess thats about it.
    Just next time, make sure you check what hardware you have before buying.

  • AirPort Extreme 802.11n* Enabler

    The Apple Store page for this 'Enabler' says it comes included with the latest AEBS. If this is so, how do you access the update to install it on your machines? There seems to be a complete lack of information on this.
    Any help greatly appreciated...

    I've purchased the update and i am not able to install it. I get as far as to the point where you have to choose the HD where you want to install it in. I get a red exclamation mark saying "You cannot install Airport Extreme 802.11n Enabler on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
    I have installed all the software updates and still getting this message....Can anybody help me/tell me what i'm doing wrong?
    Thanks for any help!!

  • AirPort Extreme 802.11n* Enabler not working

    Hello, I just installed the Time Capsule software onto my 1st gen MacBook. I saw that it installed the AirPort Extreme 802.11n Enabler, but after looking at the network utility. All that show up is: Wireless Network Adapter (802.11 a/b/g), it does not give the little 'n.' I ran the installer twice, but no joy. Any help would be great!
    Thanks!

    ursina, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Go to the Apple menu and select about this Mac. Does it say "Intel Core Duo" or "Intel Core 2 Duo"?
    Only the Macs with "Intel Core 2 Duo" processors have the 802.11n hardware. If you Mac book has the "Intel Core Duo" processor the enabler is useless.

  • How to install AirPort Extreme 802.11n Enabler?

    I just bought the Airport Extreme and I have the CD that came with it loaded. I'm installing the package that is on the CD and it reads that the following items are available for installation and one of them is the Airport Extreme 802.11n Enabler. I "continue" and it only allows me to do a basic upgrade. How do I know that the Enabler was correctly installed and I can now access using 802.11n?
    I have a MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.33Ghz

    Steve, fire up your Network Utility. You can find it in your Utilities folder. From the row of tabs across the top of the window select "Info" - the first option on the left. Nxt select the "network interface for information". You'll be wanting "(en1)". At the bottom of the info you'll see an entry for "Model Wireless Network Adapter". In parenthesis under this title will be "802.11" and some letters. If you see a letter "n" then it means the enabler did its thang!
    To actually select how your computer will communicate with that little white box with the green light on the front (um...it is green, isn't it?) then fire up your Airport Utility. Select "Manual" setup. Make sure you have the Airport icon highlighted at the top of the window then select the "Wireless" tab. The "Radio Mode" entry is where you do your bit to select "g", "n" or whatever in 2.4GHz or 5GHz.
    I find it best to do one thing at a time. Slower but at least I can undo the mess easily.

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n Enabler software

    Today I purchased an Airport Extreme and was able to set it up quickly
    on my iMac (2.15 GHz Intel Core Duo). I was also able to connect to it
    on my MacBook (2.0 GHz Core Duo). In looking at the connection information
    from the Airport the MacBook is connected using 802.11a.
    The Apple Store says that the Airport Extreme includes the 802.11n enabler software, but
    I was only able to find the software package for controlling the router.
    I must be missing something. Any help would be appreciated.

    Sorry but Core Duo Macs do not have 802.11n hardware.
    Only Core 2 Duo Macs have the 802.11n hardware.
    The enabler is on the disc but isn't compatible with your Macs.

  • AirPort Extreme (802.11n) Enabler and Leopard

    My MacBook has an 802.11n AirPort card in it. When I bought my Extreme base station, it came with a disk containing an "AirPort Extreme Enabler" (or something to that effect) which I needed to install, in order to activate my card's 802.11n capability.
    Now that I have upgraded to Leopard (I did a clean install), do I need to install that enabler, or is that functionality now built in to Leopard?
    Thanks for your help.

    dburr
    Go Applications> Utilities > Network Utility then choose Network Interface (en1). it should read Wireless Network Adapter 802.11 a/b/g/n
    If this is the case you are "N" enabled.
    All the new MBP I have encountered in the last two months or so do not need the enabler.

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n Enabler link?

    I just installed the Airport Extreme card in my Mac Pro 1,1 and all looks good but where do I find the Airport Extreme Enabler link to finish the installation?
    Thanks!

    That software should be included in 10.6.8 if that is what you are running.
    Base station support should be in Airport Utility 5.1 or later.
    You can check the capabilities under

  • Set up of Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi / Mac OS 10.6.7

    I am trying to set up an Airport Extreme (and I have done this MANY times before) but it get a warning dialog that the the Airport doesn't have a valid IP Address and the Yellow warning light is showing. What is strange is that I have connected a Cisco E2000 wireless to the same modem and it's working perfectly - out of the box. I have tried two different Airport Extreme's and the same is happening on both of them. I've never had this issue before so I am at a loss.
    Thanks,
    James

    Have you performed a complete modem reset and power cycle of the network?
    Push the reset button on the modem (if present) and power it off
    Pull the battery from the modem if it is easily accessible
    Power down everything else on the network, order is not important
    Wait 30 minutes (some service providers will take longer for their equipment to reset back at the main office), so allow 60 minutes if you can.
    Install the battery back in the modem if needed and make sure you have a good ethernet cable connected from the modem to the WAN (circle of dots icon) port on the AirPort Extreme
    Power up the modem first and let it run for a few moments by itself
    Power up the AirPort Extreme the same way
    Power up other network devices the same way
    Check to see if you can configure the AirPort Extreme

  • 802.11n Enabler for MacBook Pro not included

    Apple's page about the Airport Extreme Base Station says, "Most new Mac computers ship with built-in 802.11n wireless support that can be easily enabled with the installation of enabler software included with new AirPort Extreme wireless base station (see sidebar)."
    Yesterday I purchased the Airport Extreme 802.11n WiFi Wireless Base Station (Model MB053ZA/A A1143). I have installed it OK and it is running fine. But I now want to "enable" 802.11n on my MacBook Pro but can not figure out how to do it.
    I have searched everywhere through the box and looked everywhere on the one install disk (disk version 2.1 2Z681-6107-A) but I can not find anything that looks like enabler software for the WiFi network card in my MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo. The en1 page in Network Utility shows Model: Wireless Network Adapter (802.11 a/b/g).
    How is the enabler normally shipped in the AirPort Extreme wireless base station package? On a separate disk? On the install disk? As a free download?
    Regards
    Peter

    I have searched everywhere through the box and looked everywhere on the one install disk (disk version 2.1 2Z681-6107-A) but I can not find anything that looks like enabler software for the WiFi network card in my MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo.
    There were several MacBook Pro models with 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo processors. Your computer must be have a Core 2 Duo processor to qualify for the enabler.
    How is the enabler normally shipped in the AirPort Extreme wireless base station package? On a separate disk? On the install disk? As a free download?
    There is only a single installation disk that is provided with the base station. The enabler software is located within the AirPort.mpkg package. There is a download, but it is not free. (ref: AirPort Extreme 802.11n Enabler for Mac)

  • WMM for AirPort Extreme (802.11n) - UMA T-Mobile not working...

    Is there any chance we'll see WMM (WiFi Multi-Media) in a firmware upgrade anytime soon? I noticed that according to the WiFi Alliance's website, when the AirPort Extreme was certified, it supported WMM!
    http://certifications.wi-fi.org/wbcscertified_products.php?search=1&advanced=1&lang=en&filter_company_id=&filter_cat egory_id=&filter_subcategory=&filter_cid=&date_from=&date_to=&x=30&y=18&selectedcertifications%5B%5D=33
    As an early adopter, I just got a BlackBerry 8320 from T-Mobile, which does UMA, so you can use the phone over WiFi. Works awesome with wireless routers that do WMM, basically doesn't work with my AirPort Extreme... As you might imagine, this is quite frustrating, as I have particular desire to have two APs, for basically no reason!

    I shot this across... let's see if anything comes of it:
    ~*~
    To: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
    Subject: a rather pressing Airport Extreme (802.11n) issue
    i'm not sure if the person receiving this email will have any power (or will
    care enough) to do anything about sorting this problem out, but hey...
    better to try and fail than not trying at all, right?
    anyway... here goes:
    i am a die-hard apple user- heck, even a long-time stockholder- and recently
    bought an airport extreme (802.11n) router for my house. it worked
    flawlessly and i thought it was the best thing since sliced bread... well,
    until i picked up a UMA phone from T-Mobile.
    UMA is a service that routes your calls over WiFi. for some reason the UMA
    service worked everywhere except over my Airport Extreme base station. as a
    surprise, it even worked over my neighbour's older Airport Extreme (802.11g)
    connection.
    i swapped base stations (ie, brought his base station to my house, connected
    it to my network) and it worked. so, it is an issue that is clearly
    isolated to the new 802.11n base stations.
    thinking it was only me with this issue, i dug around the internet and found
    this discussion:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1152014&tstart=15
    (if you want more, just google the keywords 'airport extreme UMA')
    obviously there's no resolution and people are getting quite peeved that a
    state-of-the-art base station can't do something than an older base station
    can clearly do. so, can someone please look into this?
    thanks!
