AirPort Extreme Card Connectivity Problem with D-Link DI-524

Have the DI-524 connected to my cable modem and to my old 9600 via ethernet. The 524 connects wirelessly with my son's Dell laptop wthout difficulty. Have no encryption enabled. Have a new G5 with AE Card, which shows that I'm getting a wireless signal (all bars lit), but cannot get Safari to work. Get a "Computer to Computer" network status message. Keep getting a "This computer is not connected to the internet." message from Safari, and no amount of configuring works. The Network Set-Up Assistant keeps asking for a DHCP client ID, which I do not use with the TCP/IP setup, so I can never get through the set-up on the G5. I must say this is really ticking me off. Got no help from D-Link, except to check that the 524 seems to be working properly. the cable company was of equally no use. Hopefully, one of you Mac faithful can help me out. It's a **** shame a free-after-rebate D-Link can get up and running with the Dell, and a $100 AE Card is making me crazy.

I cannot offer any suggestions, but we've got the same problem.
My DL-524 does not play nice with my wife's 12" PowerBook using wireless, but my 15" PowerBook works fine over wireless. I normally enable WEP and MAC address filtering on the DL-524, but I disabled everything and still no dice. The PowerBook responds the same each time:
"There was an error joining the AirPort network"
I looked in the console logs (on the PowerBook) and see multiple occurrences of this:
WirelessJoin unexpected status: 8
The thing is, I generally know what I'm doing with my home network. I have 4 computers at home that work fine both wired and wireless, and like I said, my 15" PowerBook works fine wirelessly with the DL-524. But the 12" PowerBook will not communicate wirelessly.

Airport extreme card not working with leopard / G5

I just upgraded my PowerMac to leopard (G5 dual 1.8, 3 gigs of ram, 250 GB HD). I bought it new in December 2004 from apple. Previously I had been using a USB adapter to connect to my wireless internet at home (Linksys WRT54G). This device does not support leopard so I got an airport extreme card from gainsaver.com.
The Airport extreme card is configured properly as far as I know but it will only connect to my network for about 5 seconds then it drops. The USB adapter worked perfectly in the same spot and my macbook right next to it works fine as well.
1. Could it be a bad Airport extreme card?
2. Is this a known issue? And possibly be resolved with the 10.5.2 update?
It is a fresh Leopard install with no updates as I can not connect it to the internet to get them. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi, I have the same machine (4 ram slots?) have you got the connector for the aerial that connects to the motherboard attached to your airport card. Mine works a treat.

AirPort Extreme card not compatible with Mac Pro???

Hey,
I recently purchased my Mac Pro without thinking to include any hardware for connecting to a wireless network.
I have recently moved into a new apartment which I am keen to join to a wireless network which has just been set up by my roommate for his PC and Laptop.
I was going to buy an AirPort Extreme card, but I have read that it is not compatible with the Mac Pro. Yet when I looked at the configure process for a new mac it was listed as one of the devises offered for wireless networking!!
I am very confused...
I was wondering if anyone could help me, i just need to know what hardware i will need and how it would be installed.
thanks, all help will be greatly appreciated!
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

the mac pro takes a slightly different airport express card. you have to purchase it at the retail store and have them install it. in my experience they will not allow you to purchase one and install it yourself due to the difficulty of installing it. best thing to do take your macpro into a apple retail store and see what they can do.

Airport Extreme Card- Connecting to "Hot Spots"

I have a G4 iBook that came with an Airport Extreme Card. Is it possible to connect to "hot spots" at cafes, libraries, etc... with out having an internet connection of my own at home and without having an Airport Base Station? The computer recognizes the airport extreme card and my friend was able to connect with me computer to computer, but when I try to connect to the internet at a "hot spot" Airport does not show any networks. Is there any other hardware I need, or is it my settings on the computer?
Thanks for any help with this question!

edonnao, Welcome to the discussion area!
Your G4 iBook should be able to join any 802.11b/g compliant wireless networks. You will not be able to see or join any 802.11a wireless networks.
If the wireless networks are broadcasting their SSID (network name) the network name will appear in the AirPort menu. If they are not broadcasting their SSID, you will need to select "Other..." from the AirPort menu and enter the network name.

AirPort Extreme card installation problem

I recently bought an airport extreme card to put in my eMac (1.42 ghz G4). I follow the instructions to the letter for installation, but whenever I try to turn the computer on after installation, it sounds the 'turn-on' chord and then just sits there, black screen, power light on, never getting past that point. if i shut down and take the card out, it turns on just fine, everything works. I have all the latest software updates, installed the airport software that came with the card. what could possibly be wrong?

Most folks that report problems with the installation
of the AirPort Extreme cards find that they don't
have the card fully in place. There should be a
"click" when the card is firmly seated in the slot.
Hi. I'm facing same problem. My eMac doesn't start. I pushed as hard as I can the AirPort in the slot. It seems fitting well. As soon as I remove the card it start like a dream. I'll try again after reading your comment, but I am nervous. What if I break the housing?

Is there a way to update firmware on airport extreme card to work with "n"?

I have a airport extreme card in my G4 Powerbook and want to know if I can somehow update that card to make it compatible with the new "n" wireless standard?
Even if I can't, should I update the firmware and if so, how do I go about doing it?
Thanks!
Dan

No there is no software update that will give that card 802.11n capability.
Your PowerBook can join an 802.11n network as long as that network is configured to operate in an 802.11b/g compatible mode. You will not get the speed benefits of 802.11n since your PowerBook will be operating at 802.11g.

Airport extreme wont connect to my d-link DI-624 router--WHY!?!?

OK-- i have a d-link DI-624 wireless router hooked up to my ethernet router on my imac g4/ 800mhz gooseneck. i have a mac book pro with airport extreme-- when i set up a closed network with WEP i could log in the password, get a strong signal and connect via the airport card but when i tried to open safari, it said i wasn't connected to the internet. when i made it an open network, no problem. why can i join the closed network, get a signal, but not connect to the internet.
i tried the network setup assistant but no luck. any ideas? i am new to wireless routers so any suggestions as to why this is happening and how to solve would be greatly appreciated!

...when i set up a closed
network...
Don't do that. Disabling the broadcast of the SSID
(network name) may make you feel secure but it is a
false sense of security. The network name is still
broadcast and easily detected.
Why do you have 2 routers? Why not replace your
"ethernet router" with the DI-624? It will support
both Ethernet and wireless clients.
So are you saying I should just leave the network open? I don't mind sharing my wi-fi connection but I want my computers to be secure. I set it up to have WEP so I could share with friends. I still don't understand why my airport card in my macbook pro will pick up the open network but not the closed (even though i can log the WEP and it shows maximum signal strength).
Will the settings on OS X Tiger's firewall be the most effective or do i need to configure the wireless router's firewall as well?
I am a newbie to wireless routers and to answer your question about two routers, I was following what the directions from the DI-624 manual said to do. What you are saying makes total sense in that respect.

Airport Extreme, 5Ghz connectivity problems and poor media streaming

Hi,
I purchased an extreme from the apple store a little over a week ago, and before I send the device back I would like to solicit recommendations from this forum.
Some information about the setup:
- Single airport extreme (supplying wifi services for my non-wifi DSL router and a connected USB disk)
- Airport Extreme Firmware: 7.4.2
- iTunes: 9.0
- OS: Snow Leopard (10.6.1), Leopard (10.5.8), Window Vista.
- Harddrive: 2TB lacie, USB2.0 connection only
- 2.4 and 5 Ghz broadcasting mode
- The device is broadcasting on all supported protocols.
- Multiple clients (various: apple, microsoft, fujitsu)
- Small space, no major concrete/brick/stone walls, signal strength is 5 bars of goodness
- Country: Spain (I know there were 5Ghz restrictions here a while ago, but the device broadcasts on 5Ghz and is therefore not crippled).
If anything else could be of use, let me know and I'll update this list.
And now the problems:
1) 5Ghz connections fail
When connecting over the 5Ghz freq my connectivity to the extreme and the services it is offering (internet, disk sharing) is intermittent, at best. Basically, it has not worked reliably since I took it out of the box. This is equal for both of my macbooks and a fujitsu laptop (all with n support).
I've tried switching channels to avoid congestion - I don't live in a wifi-heavy area, and there are no other likely sources of interference (e.g. microwaves, cordless phones).
My connections to mounted disks come and go, I have to re-authenticate, and so on.
A general scan of the environment with KisMac does not show any major interference from other wifi networks (only 2 others in range, one is wimax).
I've tried to do some wifi analysis to see if I can spot any frame/packet related issues. Some rudimentary analysis indicates that when the connection stops working on the 5Ghz channel my laptop continually sends request-to-send packets to the extreme, but does not receive a clear-to-send. This occurs after a-few-seconds to a-couple-of-minutes of connectivity - the connection initially 'works' (i.e. wifi packets are sent/received correctly and I can access the internet).
2) Data access and media streaming from the connected USB drive is very poor
I've mostly had problems with itunes. I thought this might be related to the size of my library, but this shouldn't effect single track playing. Even enabling large buffering in itunes results in intermittent pauses and long track loading.
Note: this occurs over b/g connections; as stated already, n connections don't work. iTunes simply goes into a coma for while and then eventually fails. See above. Also, if I just stream from my macbook (i.e. HD connected via USB), it works flawlessly.
The extreme was running 7.4.2 - updated on first connection. It's now running 7.4.1, as I read on the forums that there were some perceived problems with 7.4.2 (although these perceptions may not be accurate.
Concl(f)usion:
I believe I've ruled out the following:
- Distance
- Interference
- Laptop related issues (the same problem occurs with 2 macbooks and a fujitsu laptop).
- Latest firmware
- Software (apps, OS, etc)
Which leaves me to ponder two possibilities:
a) The extreme is damaged.
b) The extreme is not a good product (surely this can't be so?!)
There is, of course, a c-possibility ... that the collective experience of the online community might be able to offer me an alternative path?
I would be very grateful if anyone could offer any suggestions, tips, tricks, spells or simply a hug before I contact apple to begin the process of explaining the issues and seeking some care.
Many thanks in advance,
Dave.

I have had the same problem. Really frusrtating, expecially since the reason I bought the airport was because of all the wireless congestion in my neigborhood with only 11 channels on the 2.4 GHz spectrum.
Bought my airport dual band about a week ago. It had the firware 7.4.2. After extensive searching, I found other with similar issues. Apparently the last stable firmware may be 7.3.8. I am on 7.4.0 and not having any issues any longer (only testing one day now).
This may solve your issue. Login to your airport and choose manual setup. on the summary page, find 'Version' 7.x" and click on the word 'version'. This will allow you to rollback your firmware. I went with 7.4. Depending on what options you need with airdisk, Time Capsule, rolling back may remove those options, so experiment. You can always go back to 7.4.1 or 7.4.2 from within the interface.
Hope this helps.

How can I create a guest network on an airport extreme that connects wirelessly with a Timecapsule

I have a Timecapsule in one place of our house, that is connected to Internet. I need to extend the range of my network: 1. my private network needs to get to a remote location to make connection with speakers (Itunes). for this I need to first extend the range of my private network, because the speakers are too far away from the TC. 2. I need to set up a guest network, but at quite some distance from my TC, in an other part of the house, too far away from the TC (so a guest network on the TC won't do).
For this, upon advice from an apple store, I bought an airport extreme, which I have placed on a location where it can connect to the TC, to extend the private network. On the location of the speakers, I have an aiport express (connecting to the extreme), to play music from Itunes. The setup at this moment is: TC makes connection to internet, and broadcasts a private network. Extreme connects to this private network, and broadcasts it further to the Airport express, that captures it and plays the music. I would now like to create a guest network on the Airport Extreme, while this Extreme keeps on connecting to the private network of the TC and keeps on broadcasting it to the Express. Is this possible? How can I do this? Thanks for the help !

I would now like to create a guest network on the Airport Extreme, while this Extreme keeps on connecting to the private network of the TC and keeps on broadcasting it to the Express. Is this possible?
Unfortunately, the "main" router...your TC in this case....is the only device that can create a Guest Network, assuming that the TC is connected to a simple modem.
Unfortunately again, the Guest Network cannot be extended. Your only real option here is to create a Guest Network on the TC and hope that it will have sufficient coverage for your needs.

Apple Airport 802-11n connection problems with Windows 7

I'm basically a MAC user, but my son is trying to get his Windows 7 Toshiba laptop to connect to my Apple 802-11n wifi. It will see the wifi, but when clicked on my network the connection fails before I get to input the password. Yet neighborhood 802-11n connections get to the password screen. The lap[top is a Toshibe satellite L755-S5107 running Windows 7.
I'm not very savvy on PCs, so I don't know where to look for versions of his software et al.
Anyone familiar with such problems?

Toshiba may be doing something different than other manufacturers, so your best bet might be a Toshiba support site.

Another source that may of some help is the Windows troubleshooting guide for WiFi connections:

Not sure how much more help that we can provide on an Apple support site for Apple wireless routers.

PB G4 Airport Extreme Card password problem

Have a PB G4 (OSX 10.4 10) hardwired to Netgear Rangemax DG834PN router. Works fine. Disconnect Ethernet cable, change network settings in System prefs to Airport and select Network name but after I enter password a message appears that the password is incorrect. Checked so many times I’m dizzy! Anyone able to help? Network diagnostics shows card on but not connected and then I get a alternate red & green light and a drop-down menu that tells me the network config has changed and asks me to click to continue. But the drop-down menu is stuck in a loop and I have to force quit network dianostics.

tiredeyes, Welcome to the discussion area!
If you haven't already try turning off the RangeMax feature and leave it off until you get a working connection. Since the Mac isn't compatible with that feature it may be causing some/all of the problem.
What type of wireless encryption are you using? If you are using WEP, take a look at KB 106424, AirPort: Joining an encrypted wireless network.

Connect problem with db link and scheduler_jobs on 10.2.0.4.0

hello guys
i have got this problem, i hope someone can help me to understand and solve it.
I have a pl/sql procedure where is referenced a table on a db_link. I own all the grants needed, and if i recall it in an anonymous block, it seems to work.
i.e
create or replace procedure routine_1 is
v_app varchar2(1);
begin
select 'x'
into v_app
from other_user.some_table@my_db_link
where rownum<2;
end routine_1;
Instead, while recalling it from a job scheduled with dba_scheduler package, with the same user, while opening the cursor where the db link table is referenced, i got a connect error:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
ORA-02063: preceding line from xxxxxx (where xxxxxx is the db link)
i would like to understand where i am mistaking. I already checked the user for the connection in the scheduled job and is the same of the anonymous block call.
thanks in advance
Claudio

hello dracis
thanks for the new answer.
i have not access to metalink. Anyway, oracle version is 10g not 11.
Anyway, about dbms_job package (Scheduler is the newer version of dbms_job), i found a phrase on a site saying this:
"Jobs that reference database links will fail if the database link is not fully qualified with the username and password. This is another subtle consequence of the execution environment of jobs."
Probably the cause is that the db link, to work, must be owned by the same user that owns the procedure where is referenced. In this way we hope ownername and password are in some way accessible.
We are trying to check this solution, but we have to wait for some grants.

Connection problems with D-LINK 300t (NOT using AE)

Hi all,
I bought the D-LINK 300t modem from apple and am having problems connecting it.
I follow through the onscreen gui set up procedure, and that's all fine - the status tells me I'm connected, no problems. Network Connections and Network Diagnostics also tells me that I'm connected to the internet and that seemingly there are no problems.
However, I cannot access any web pages at all. It just times out with Safari giving me the message that I'm not connected to the internet.
I tried connecting the modem to my old G4 iMac and that didn't work either.
I'm not using AE or any other wireless product, just connecting ADSL in and ethernet out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Still not having any joy with this ... I've bought a new modem/router and that is giving me the same problems. My Network Diagnostics is saying that I'm connected to the internet, but I can't open any web pages.
The modem is saying that I'm connected.
I just don't know what is wrong, or what to do next. The 'assist' button is not helping, nor is 'Network Diagnostics'. I feel like I'm missing something obvious but I just can't see it.
If anyone can help me, I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks.

magicnme, Welcome to the discussion area!
Question - will the new Pro with the Airport Extreme card be compatible with the old base station?
Yes, the MacBook Pro can connect to a 802.11b base station like the Dual Ethernet (aka snow) AirPort base station (ABS).
If it will, what would be the advantages of upgrading to a new Extreme Basestation?
The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) offers a USB printer port for wireless printing.
The AEBS offers WPA and WPA2 wireless encryption.
Also if you have other computers on your local network, large file transfers between your computers will be faster.
