Airport Wireless Card not connecting to ABS

I updated my ABS firmware a few weeks back when many people did and had issues with the update, no wireless connection. I rolled back to the previous ABS firmware version with no luck. I went thru several hard resets and go nothing. So I just went ahead and updated to the current ABS firmware version. I have no problem using the internet over the lan and other computers can connect wirelessly, but the wireless on the G4 Ti won't connect. It shows and error window. I thought the wireless card went dead, but it works just fine on other wireless networks. Any thoughts would be great.
Powerbook G4 Ti OS X 10.4

ok i'm back again. so now i'm on to the internet but my connection is really weak, 1 bar. i talked to the guy who installed the wireless router and he said that its because the aerial is in the base and has to receive the signal through my desk. but he also said that he didn't know much about Mac's. so i'm not to sure he knows what he's talking about. is there any other reason why i'm getting a weak connection. i tried moving my mac around but that did not help.
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

  • Airport wireless card not installed

    Hi everybody, just wondering if anyone has suffered the same problem as i have...any help would be appreciated.
    Basically, late 2007 120GB white macbook, bought new. i also run windows xp on it in bootcamp.
    a few months ago the laptop started freezing up completely in both OSX and XP and would need a hard restart, on restart there would be no recognition of airport or wireless internet. when looking at airport in OS X it would say that there is no wireless card installed.
    however, after a few restarts and resetting the PRAM, the wireless would cough back into life for a bit before freezing completely again and the same process encountered.
    for about a month now though there seems to be no way of getting recognition of a wireless card at all, but the laptop is not freezing anymore.
    any one had this problem and managed to resolve it?
    ive had a bit of a poke around using google but havent really found out much about it....
    just to complicate matters, my OS X disks that came with the macbook cant be recognised by it! (with no scratches or marks on them) but my OSX snow leopard disks that came with my 2010 imac do. ive done the system analysis thing with them and nothing showing.
    cheers for any help.

    Take it in for repair.  You may not be able to use the installer discs that came with your iMac to reinstall OS X on the MB because the OEM discs are usually machine dependent.  Also, you cannot install on more than one CPU at a time.  It would violate your software license to install from the same installer DVD on two machines.

  • Power Mac G3 Pismo with Airport wireless card in Mac OS X 10.4 won't connect to wireless network  with  newest Airport Extreme Base Station set at WPA Personal/WPA 2 Personal encryption.

    My Power Book G3 Pismo with an Airport wireless card  running Mac OS X 10.4.11 will not connect to my new Airport
    Extreme Base Station using WPA Personal/WPA 2 Person encryption.  The Airport firmware is version 9.52.  From
    posts I've read online at different places indicates the Airport card should support the WPA encryption.  Perhaps the problem
    is the Base Station is using a combination setting and the fault is in the base station?
    Thanks for any suggestions

    Perhaps an inexpensive usb wireless adapter would work as well?
    This is probably the simplest way to get the G3 connected to the wireless network.
    I'll have to read up on getting an express and using it as a wireless bridge as I am unfamiliar with the concept.
    The new AirPort Extreme is broadcasting a wireless signal.
    A new AirPort Express could be located close to the G3. The Express will pick up the wireless signal from the AirPort Extreme, then provide an Ethernet connection to the G3 though a short Ethernet cable. 
    This can work very well......IF.....you keep the G3 at a fixed location, since it will always be connected to the AriPort Express using an Ethernet cable.
    I do have an old Linksys Wireless G router.  I wonder if that would work?
    In theory, yes. But it would have to use much older WEP "security", which is easily cracked in minutes using free tools available on the Internet. So, anyone who really wanted to get on the network could do so. It's an option, but not a very good one.

  • Apple Wireless Card Not Working

    I just removed an Apple Wireless card from a PowerBook Tit. laptop and plugged it into my QuickSilver 733, re-installed the OS, and I can not get the coputer to recognize the wireless card.
    Now, this is the older wireless card not the extreme, and I have used one of these cards in the past for one of these computers and worked fine, but can not get it to pickup this time.
    I know the card is good, was in use up until it was removed from the PB yesterday.
    Tried to add the wireless device in the Network panel, but could not see the card.
    Any ideas???
    Thanks,
    Carter

    I have a Quicksilver 2002 (Dual 1-GHZ) and my internal airport card just started acting flakey. It drops the connection and then re-acquires the network, sometimes a couple of times a minute. Sometimes the only way to get the wireless signal is to turn AirPort off and on agian on the computer. Then it will work fine for days. I bought this PowerMac new just before MacWorld in 2002 (yeah, right before the MDD model was introduced - brilliant timing on my part, as usual) and haven't had a lick of trouble with it ever. I also have a new MacBook with built-in AirPort Extreme and I have no trouble with my wireless signal on that computer, so it has to be the PowerMac. Are there any known issues I'm missing?

  • Airport Wireless Card Issues

    On my MacBook Pro 13 inch I notice freezing that in safari or firefox the browsers freeze after five minutes. I'm connected to my wireless router at home with full signal, yet after five minutes of being connected I can not browse the web, the browser freezes. In order for me to reconnect to the web and continue browsing, I have to disable and then re enable the Airport Wireless Card. Any suggestions?

    Sounds like you have not installed the internal antenna correctly.

  • My new airport express does not connect my printer to my computer?  My old airport did! then I updated to OS 10.9.2.  How do I get it connected?

    My new airport express does not connect my printer to my computer.  The old airport did.  I recently updated to OS 10.9.2.  I have since bought a new
    HP 6700 all in one wireless printer,  got the latest Comcast router.  None of which connect to my computer wirelessly.  Which do I throw away the printer, router, or Mac?  Help

    Contact HP for support.
    Explain that you are using a Mac, anticipate the inevitable groan, and wait patiently for their resident Mac expert to return from vacation.
    Until then download and install its driver here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=5058338&cc=us&dlc=en &lc=en
    Otherwise return the printer and purchase one from a company that visibly supports OS X. HP isn't on that list.

  • Airport wireless card to other networks?....

    I'm using an Imac G3 and am running mac os 9 and was thinking about buying a airport wireless card to put into my computer so I can finally connect to the internet through this computer.
    but ive had a few questions before I buy this airport card.....
    this computer is the only apple brand computer running on the mac os and I use a linksys router from my PC sending my internet signal...and was wondering if i was to install an airport card into my imac would i be able to pick up that linkys signal and be able to acess the internet or would i have to go and buy a airport base station to get the internet signal for just my imac to pick up because it cant detect a linkys signal?

    rhayden, Welcome to the discussion area!
    If you install the original AirPort card in your iMac G3 you will be able to connect to any 802.11b compatible wireless network. You will need to ensure that your Linksys base station is operating in an 802.11b compatible mode.
    BTW, you also need the AirPort card adapter to install the AirPort card into your iMac G3.

  • When I wake my iMac from sleep, the wireless does not connect.  I have to shut shutdown and then restart and then it connects.  I am running Lion 10.7.3  Any thoughts?

    Been waiting along time for this problem to be fixed. Unfortunately the update hasn't help at all and even made the situation worse. Now my airplay connection from iMac to stereo abruptly stops after about 10-15 min. so I have to go over and quit wifi, start it up and find my airport network. Not sure why it always has a problem with the apple airport network. My neighbor's pc network is always there.

  • Wireless Card Not Good

    I have comcast internet, when iam in my bedroom its getting dialup speed, in living room its almost faster then my desktop, so i know its not comcast, can i upgrade my wireless card? If so whats the best one that i can buy, sence this ones range SUCKS!

    Hello
    > I am not happy with my integrated Realtek wireless card. Connection quality is not good.
    I cant imagine that you are not satisfied with the connection quality
    I also use Satellite A660 for October 2010 and everything is great! :) This is a wonderful piece of hardware without any problems and great build quality.
    The WLAN connectivity is good and the same with other notebooks (I also have Realtek WLAN card). I only noticed that WLAN connection is a little bit slower in Eco mode so I have disabled the WLAN power saving function in Eco mode and now the problem is solved. Furthermore I have installed newest WLAN driver of offical Toshiba page..
    So I would recommend disabling the WLAN power saving and updating the WLAN driver.
    Of course you can use an external USB adapter but I think internal WLAN is more comfortable so I would try it with driver update firstly. ;)

  • My airport extreme will not connect to the Internet

    My airport extreme will not connect to my toshiba router. I connected it to my office internet this morning but when I hooked it up at home it simply will not connect. I have tried resetting all the settings and have had no luck. It did work once upon a time. I currently have my airport express hooked up so I know there is connectivity.

    I could never figure it out after trying everything I could and going to the genius bar I ended up just purchasing another extreme.  The really funny thing is that I can set up a network between the two and it works fine.  I am using it at work now with out any problems so I guess there is really no loss :-?

    New Galaxy 5s.  Trying to connect to a guest wireless that routes browser to a login screen.  The wireless will not connect (gives authentication error), so will not pull up browser window.  My previous Android did not have this problem (it would connect and immediately reroute to the login screeen).

    Would you please try manually set the DNS address on client NIC to the IP of your server, then try run the connector again?

  • Airport wireless clients not seeing airport ethernet clients.

    I have a problem with airport wireless clients not being able to see airport ethernet clients on the same base station - bonjour does not work for this, appletalk does not work for this, and Remote Desktop does not work for this either. Is there a way around this? Is this normal or a bug? I can change the last surviving ethernet machine to wireless but I if I can avoid the cost that would be good.
    Miklos.

    It's ok, I got it working. I just reset the second airport, went through the "easy" set up, reset, went into manual config, changed the network to a WDS (to match the main base station) and changed the setting that allows further distribution of the network, and it's working perfectly now!!
    Hooray!!
    I have to say, of all my Apple experiences, the base station set up was the least "Apple", it was confusing, complex, and somewhat erratic, but now that I have the config perfect, it seems to be working without a hitch. I just hope they can include network templates in the next software (for other people since I'm good to go now anyway) - that would be more Apple - so that people can just go bang I have this config, and perhaps for the more obscure set ups a fine tune would work off a template to get people set up faster and easier and with less confusion.

  • Internet connection is through airport extreme is not connected

    internet connection through airport extreme is not connected maybe there is a problem setting it up

    Is it possible that using a Netgear Router connected
    to the AE (which is also a router if I understand
    correctly) could cause connection problems ?
    Yes.
    Ensure that that the AEBS is configured to not distribute IP addresses.
    Also ensure that the AEBS is on a different channel to the DG834G.
