Airport Extreme Compatible Wireless N Adapters

I have an Airport Extreme and would like to connect a PC and an Apple Mac G5 PPC to it via wireless N at 5ghz only.
Can any recommend a compatible wireless adapter (PCI or USB)?
regards
Phil

I would not recommend the macwireless booster. I got a minibooster from them--the connection between the router and the antennae is very weak--it's kind of on a little leash--and is hard to secure in a single position. Mine broke after the first week of use. I tried to return it to them, they would not replace it and did not refund. They would not own up to a design flaw on this unit, and blamed the customer.

    PLEASE HELP URGENT!
    I am out of town and desperately need to find a " compatible wireless usb adapters" to run off my aunt's Linksys WRTG....old wireless router-she cannot remember her WPA security code?  I am using a MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion.
    I am currently standing at Staples Tech support desk and they are searching too but seem to not be finding anything.

    I personally own the first two, and they work perfectly with the AEBSn. All 4 use the same chipset, so I assume that the last two should work also.

  • HT4259 Q: Can I use an older Airport Express-g router (not -n) to extend my Airport Extreme-n wireless network? If Yes, are the instructions the same as for adding an Airport Express-n router?

    Q: Can I use my older Airport Express-g router (not -n) to extend my Airport Extreme-n wireless network? If Yes, Are the instructions the same as for adding an Airport Express-n router?

    If you want to extend, using wireless only, the 802.11g Express doesn't support this.
    However, if you want to use bridge mode over Ethernet or Powerline adapters then this is supported.

  • Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme..

    Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme.

    This will work.....IF....you also have an Apple AirPort router configured to provide your wireless network.
    In other words, you need to have two Apple AirPort routers to extend a wireless network.
    When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "extend" the wireless of the "main" AirPort, it will provide more wireless coverage and the Ethernet ports are enabled, so you could connect your Mac Pro to any of the Ethernet ports and use that as a network and Internet connection.

  • I am using an Airport Extreme for wireless and a Netgear VPN Switch for wired connections.  How do I get the two networks to connect?

    I am using an Airport Extreme for wireless and also have a Netgear VPN Switch (FV5318) for internal wired ethernet connections.  How do I get the two networks to connect to each other?

    Tesserax, I would like to keep the Airport Extreme in nplace before the Netgear FVS318 switch because I am using all of the 8 ethernet outputs distributed to 8 differerent locationsl  This way I can just use one of the LAN outputs from the Airport to feed the FVS318.  Here is what I think I am hearing you say:
    Tne reason why the wired and wireless devices are not communicating is because the FVS318G is also a DHCP server and in conflict with the AEBS.
    To remedy the situastion here is probably what I need to do in order:
    1. Change the LAN IP Address of the Netgear FVS318G to be the same subnet of the Airport Extreme.
    2. Then, disable the Netgear FVS318G as a DHCP server.
    3. Make sure the ethernet cable from the LAN port of the Airport Extreme connectis to the LAN port of the Netgear FVS318G.
    4. Restart everything.
    Can you provide me the steps I need to take to get the right IP addresses from the Airport Extreme to put into the Netgear to fix the conflict?  I have the Airport Utility.  I also have two airport express hot spots, and two Apple TVs in addition to computers attached to the 8 ethernet lines.
    Thank you.

  • Airport Extreme Compatible?

    Trying to figure out if my eMac is Airport extreme compatible or not. I'm not sure what model I actually have. I looked up the serial number (N9J) and mine doesn't seem to be listed. So I'm not sure which model it is. It has most of the Ati specs, but it has an Nvidia Geforce card..... Anyone that could shed some light on this for me would be greatly appreciated.

    Your eMac is most likely the original model; the original eMac and the ATI Graphics model have very similar specifications. One way of telling is checking the processor speed in the About this Mac menu item; only the original eMac came in a 700MHz configuration, and it did not come in a 1GHz model. For an 800MHz eMac, open the Displays pane of System Preferences and check the resolutions; the original eMac will have a 1152 by 864 resolution while newer eMacs have 1152 by 870. There are some differences in the frequencies for the lowest two resolutions as well. The original eMac cannot accept an AirPort Extreme card.
    Edit: based on the information you subsequently posted, your eMac is definitely the original model.

  • Mac Mini Airport Extreme compatible with LEAP?

    I'm looking into having our department buy a Mini for some Mac support we offer, and we'll have to use the wireless because nobody has a free port in their cube. Our wireless network uses LEAP authentication, and I'm not sure if the Airport Extreme support this. I checked Cisco's web site for vendor support, and Apple isn't listed there. (Or are their Airport cards manufactured by a 3rd party?)

    I did a little more searching, and found that the Airport Extreme is compatible with LEAP.

  • Airport extreme compatible with MacBook Pro 15" 2.33 GHz ?

    I just purchased a macbook pro and an airport extreme card to go with it. Now when I've researched it a little furhter I'm not sure if the airport extreme card will work with my new laptop. I received the card but am still waiting for the PC to arrive - anyone out there know if they're compatable with each other ? I've just switched from MS to Mac so I'm not all that familar with the hardware or op systems - thanks.

    reablazey, Welcome to the discussion area!
    The bad news is that your Mac is NOT compatible with the AirPort Extreme card.
    The good news is that your MacBook Pro has wireless ability built-in. MacBook Pro (Late 2006) - Technical Specifications

  • Silly question, maybe. I want to change from Verizon DSL to cable, but cable company doesn't supply router.  can I use my Airport Extreme as wireless router?

    We currently have the following wireless home-network configuration, powered by Verizon DSL. 
    2 macbook pro’s
    1 emachine
    HP PhotoSmart 6122 all-in-one printer
    Apple TV
    Apple Airport Extreme Base Port A 1408
    Westell 7500 router
    Thinking I’d get wider wireless coverage throughout my 2 bedroom home, I purchased the Airport Extreme. It is connected to the router via its sole usb port.  The result was only a tiny increase in speed, and no increase in coverage, so I don’t know why I have it.
    We now want to change from DSL to cable, thus ditching Verizon.  Our new cable provider supplies the cable box, but no router for wireless networking. 
    Here are my questions.
    Can I use the Airport Extreme (AE) as a wireless router? 
    If so, how should I hook it up?  Should the usb cable go from the AE to the cable box, and all the other devices connect wirelessly?
    If not, how should I be using the AE to some advantage?  What can I get out of the investment?
    Thank you very much for your help!  Beatriz

    What I wrote has nothing to do with what the cable company charges for their installation. And, usually they will help with the router setup even if you supply your own router. I don't know what they will charge for the modem.
    Note that you need to get just a modem. You don't want a modem/router combination. That will make using an AEBS effectively nearly impossible. You will need to ask specifically for just a standalone modem, and that you will supply your own router.

  • New Airport Extreme N wireless network setup questions (WDS, D-Link)

    I have finally been able to set up my Airport Extreme N network after numerous attempts over the last few weeks. I was getting a very weak signal in front of the house where my wife's G4 is connected wireless to an old Airport card and where all the systems (XBOX 360; Wii and PS3) are also wirelessly hitting the network.
    The current configuration is as follows: In the office in the back of the house I have an Airport Extreme N basestation connected to the cable modem and have three workstations (One Mac and two PCs) wired to it. I set up a WDS network, so I set up the Airport Expresses as remotes. In the living room I have another Airport Extreme N basestation (as a remote as well) that is hooking up to the XBOX 360, Wii and PS3. I have enabled WEP security (not effecting the XBOX 360 since it is now "wired"). Here is the weird thing - I have a PC laptop with a D-Link Xtreme N card ( DWA-652) that cannot connect to the network. I enter the WEP password but it does not connect. Am I missing something on the basestation setup? Do I need to add the MAC address of the card anywhere. When I use the laptop's built in wireless it connects with no problem. By creating a WDS network did I disable the n functionality of the base station(s)? I am a lttle condused.
    Also, prior to going to an all Apple wireless network setup, I bought the D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit Router (DIR-655). I was regretfully about to return it to Best Buy but I had an idea which may or may not work. I know that the D-Link does not support WDS but if I was to set it up as the main router and added the "main" Airport basestation as a wired bridge could I maintain the WDS network? The reason I ask this is because I would love to keep the gigabit for the wired machines in the office. Also, I am wondering if the D-Link notebook card is incompatible with the Airport network.
    All I know is that I have spent alot of money and sleepless nights just trying to set this network up but thankfully Best Buy has a thirty day return policy so I will return what I can't use.
    I appreciate any help and advice anyone can give me.
    Thanks.

    Hello!
    I have noticed that some manufacturers (Linksys and possibly D-LINK) only accept upper-case WEP keys only.
    This drove me nuts when trying to integrate a Linksys PC PCMCIA card into my old "g" network.
    As far as using WEP, it's bad and broken; but I understand that your choice of security is limited to the devices that you are trying to network.
    For what it's worth, I have my network set up with the AEBS 'n' connected to my Cable Modem, with one of the ports going to a gigabit switch for my wired network. I then have two AirTunes set up as WDS extensions for music & Internet delivery to two separate areas. The AEBS 'n" serves up DHCP and routing for the entire network.
    It works quite well; I get 54 mbits/sec for the two WDS AirTunes, and 145 mbits/sec to one of my ATV's. My gigabit wired machines see data rates of 15-27 MBytes/sec (depending on the type of transfer).
    Good luck!

  • Can I set up Airport Extreme for wireless printiing over Uverse network?

    I previously had DSL, and used my Airport Extreme as my wireless router. It was in my home office, so my printer was directly plugged into the Base Station. I recently switched to ATT Uverse, which came with its own wireless router. The new router is in another room, next to the TV. My question is this: Can I set up my old AEBS to function as a wireless printing outpost, like an Airport Express, that would be connected to my office printer but accessed through the ATT network? Thanks.

    Welcome to the discussions, Patrick!
    Can I set up my old AEBS to function as a wireless printing outpost, like an Airport Express, that would be connected to my office printer but accessed through the ATT network?
    In theory, yes. In practice, this is one of those things that you won't know until you try. Since the AEBS will have to "join" your ATT wireless network, the biggest question will be whether or not you can find a matching security setting on the AEBS for the ATT wireless network.
    Are you able to get into the setup pages on the ATT router to see exactly what type of security is being used? Ideally, it will be WPA2 Personal, but different manufacturers use different names and flavors for the same thing, so it's rarely as easy as one might hope when you try to get devices from two manufacturers to talk to each other over wireless.

  • Airport Extreme and Wireless Printing

    Okay so i know that you can make wireless printing by simply connecting your printer to the airport extreme. However I have a wireless printer and i read somewhere that the extreme does not allow the wireless printer to be discovered when used with the extreme. I want to know if this is true. I currently use a linksys router and whenever i print something, the first time takes forever for it to detect the printer. I am hoping that a newer router will help but i want to know if the extreme does support wireless printers.

    Same issue here. I recently upgraded to an Airport Extreme and can no longer print wirelessly. Before this router I used a different brand of wireless router and had no issues. When I go to the printer itself, an HP OfficeJet 7410, and look for networks on the little display it can see mine and the neighbors. However, when I tell it to join the network it gives me an error message along the lines of "Cannot join this network." New network password has been entered.

  • Airport extreme-hook- wirelessly to airport timecapsel?

    I have an airport time-capsule hooked to modem. It it possible for an airport extreme to hook up wirelessly with the time-capsule to create an extended network for printing off the extreme?

    Power off the AirPort Extreme for now.
    Open AirPort Utility and click on the Time Capsule, then click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
    Make sure that there is a check mark in the box next to "Allow this network to be extended"
    Write down the exact setting that is being used for Wireless Security
    Click Update to save changes and give the Time Capsule a minute to restart.
    With the AirPort Extreme still powered off, hold in the reset button on the back of the AirPort Extreme....and keep holding it for 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back in to the AirPort Extreme.
    Release the reset button after the 9-10 hold period and allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
    Open AirPort Utility and click on the AirPort Extreme, then click Manual Setup. You may be asked to "switch" networks. Switch networks.
    Click the Base Station tab below the row of icons to assign a device name to the AirPort Extreme and password. Adjust Time Zone settings
    Click the Wireless tab and adjust settings to look like this:
    Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network
    Wireless Network Name = Same name as the Time Capsule wireless network
    Check mark next to Allow Wireless Clients
    Wireless Security = Same setting as the Time Capsule
    Wireless Password = Same wireless password as the Time Capsule
    Verify Password
    Click Update and wait a minute for a green light. You are done.
