Airport Wireless on B&W G3 under OS 9

I recently added a third party wireless card to my B&W G3 and it works fine under 10.3.9. I would like to use wireless under OS 9 so I downloaded Airport software 2.0.4. But when I tried to install it from either OS 9 or Classic, I get an error message saying that Airport isn't compatible with the hardware. I also have a Powerlogix 1 GHz G3 upgrade card installed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Gordon

John,
As an alternative, you may want to have a look at an external wireless Ethernet bridge (also known as a gaming adapter). Such a device is connected to the Ethernet port of the computer. No special drivers normally needed. The bridge can be used under almost any operating system. A few examples: Belkin F5D7330, D-Link DWL-G810, D-Link DWL-G820, Linksys WET54G, Linksys WGA600N and Netgear WGE111. Study the specifications. Not all units or variants support WPA security (a firmware update may be sufficient in some cases).

Wireless pci card - not working under OS 9

Hello everyone,
I very rarely post on OS 9 sub board, but I have one quick question. First off, my mac is a powerful(to me it is!) 2003 MDD dual 1.25(last before G5) and has 2GB memory with 2GB L3 cache per processor.
Now thats out of the way. I would like to know if the Belkin F5D7000 card(wireless-G 802.11g) supports working under OS 9.2.2? If Belkin does not have a driver for it, is there a generic driver I can install which would allow my wireless card to work under OS 9.2.2? Yes, I have the FW400 based system, however I might consider going with the FW800, but I would like to know really what the big differences are between the FW400 and FW800 machines?
I know the FW800 has ONE FW800 port, has a slot to support AIRPORT EXTREME card(though my machine has a PCI Belkin F5D7000 wireless-G airport extreme card). It also has support for bluetooth which I wouldn't really use anyway since I have no device to make use of bluetooth.
So, my question really is, is there a way to get the wireless card to be recognized under OS 9.2.2 even though Belkin does not have a driver for it? I really would like to use OS 9.2.2 sometimes, but its useless to me if I can't get on the i-net, and regular ethernet is NOT AN OPTION since where I live is only wireless internet.
Ideas? Suggestions?

Hi,
A ethernet to wifi bridge is connected to your computer via the ethernet port.
ex: http://www.macsense.com/product/networking/wua800-1.html
So there is no need for driver in the OS since it's using the ethernet port like connected via a wire. It's the box that convert it to a wifi signal. You could even use this for OS X, Windows or Linux etc...
Many manufacturers make this kind of device.

How to Connect my PC to Mac Mini Airport wirelessly?

This may be more of a PC question, but I'm trying to connect my PC laptop to my mac mini.
I turned on internet sharing on the Mini.
I can see my Airport wireless network on the PC, it says I'm connected.
I do not have a password enabled on the airport network.
The PC browser says it cannot find the server and will not load a webpage even though the wireless network connection window says I'm connected to my wireless network.
any ideas?

I would unplug the AirPort Express at this point and see if you can get the Internet sharing with the PC configured.
My Mac mini is connected to the internet by Ethernet cable to my ISP's gateway. I am sharing the Ethernet connection to two iPod Touches via AirPort from my Mac mini. These are the steps for internet sharing from Ethernet to AirPort. See if you have followed them correctly in configuring your kit.
1. In Sys Prefs/Sharing I highlighted Internet Sharing (do not check the box)
2. Share your connection from: Ethernet (from the dropdown menu)
3. To computers using: AirPort (check the little box)
4. Press the button AirPort Options...
5. Name your Network
6. I use Automatic for the channel
7. I encrypt my network using a 40-bit WEP key
8. For a non-Apple device you must use only a 5 alphanumeric character, 40-bit WEP password or only a 13 alphanumeric character 128-bit WEP password
9. Press OK
10. Check the box for Internet Sharing
11. Answer any dialog boxes that pop up
If everything on the Mac end is correct then the issue may lie with the PC since Windows is much more picky about how it is configured. Here is an article that may assist you in getting the PC correct;
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-share-the-internet-connection-between-your-m ac-and-a-pc/
Other things that you could try is to name your network with a short name without spaces, such as your Apple Discussions User Name. Also create WEP passwords of only 5 or 13 alphanumerics. Some also suggest an All Caps password.

? regarding resetting password in Airport Wireless Network.

? regarding resetting password in Airport Wireless Network.
I am using comcast cable and have a netgear wireless router to access the internet. In my airport network preferrences I have a network name and a password which is working well on my brand new Macbook. However, I would like to use this same network for my old ibook G4 and here is the problem.
When I open the airport on the ibook I scroll through the list pick my network name and then it opens "the selected airport network requires a password to join" and asks for my password. It gives the wireless security " WPA personal" and asks for a password only.
I enter the password and it says it is not correct.
What could be going wrong with this??
Can I reset the password on the new Macbook and resolvethe problem?
Any info. would be appreciated.

Most likely I'm thinking that the Netgear router is using something other than WPA personal (WPA enterprise, WPA 2 comes to mind...) and that your iBook's Airport card doesn't support this later encryption. Try going into your router's setting and changing the security settings. (Although some may argue that this poses a greater security risk. Just avoid WEP and you should be good.)

I have just acquired an iMac desktop. I want to sign on to my airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network.

I have just acquired an iMac desktop (about 4 years old). I want to connect to my Apple airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network and don't want to jeopardize what already works well. I am not all that computer literate.

How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it.
Read the user manual that came w/your Airport router or you can cross-post in one of the AirPort Forums for instructions.

How can I set up an AirPort wirelessly in client mode on a roaming network?

I recently set up a roaming network within my office using a RADIUS server for access control. I have multiple airports connected to our broadband via ethernetcable providing a seamless network over a large space. It works great.
However, now that I've done this, I can't get one of my airort expresses to work as a wireless music box with speakers plugged in. This airport is in a location that has no ethernet nearby, which is fine because I just want to use it to play music, not extend the network. It's MAC address is configured in the RADIUS server as an authorized device.
I've tried this "client mode" setup, and a variety of other combinations of settings like making it part of the roaming network as an extender, with no avail:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1731
Everything I've tried gives me the "AirPort Utility was unable to find your AirPort wireless device after restarting" message, and my AirPort has only a yellow light.
It seems the AirPort Express is totally incompatible with a roaming network. Is there any way to make this work?
Thanks,
Rob

Before we get into details here, do you understand that the Express will not be be able to "extend" the Xfinity wireless network wirelessly?
The Express can only extend a network wirelessly from another Apple AirPort router. Another way of saying the same thing is that if you want to "extend" wirelessly, you will need two Apple AirPort routers.
The Express will need to be permanently connected to the modem/router using an Ethernet cable if you want it to extend the Xfinity network.

We just set up an apple airport wireless router but i can't print from iPad to hp officejet all in one J4680. the iPad is connected to the network as well as the printer, but it doesn't print

How can I get my ipad to print to HP J4680 through apples airport wireless router

Hello ddoonis,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
AirPrint Basics
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
If you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found"
Verify that the printer:
Has power and is turned on. If it has power, turn the printer off and then on again to see if that resolves the issue.
Is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iOS device.
Has the latest firmware version installed.
Has paper with enough ink or toner installed.
Is free of any errors displayed on the printer's control panel.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Airport Utility can no longer find my airport wireless devices

I have sucessfully installed a new Airport Extreme and Airport Express in the house and everything including iPad, Apple TV, Sonos and iPhones are all connect up and running fine.
I am using a Laptop running Windows 8 that is also connected and on line.
I tried to connect a WD external hard drive this morning. Since then when I open the Airport Utility on my Laptop an error message appears stating that "Airport Utility unable to find any Airport wireless devices."
This isn't creating any real problem as I dont have an urgent need to access the Utility programe but does anyone know why this error has occurred and what I can do to rectufy the problem?

Turn of the MG and unplug the power cord. Leave it off for about a minute and then reconnect the power cord and turn the power back on. Wait while the device attempts to reconnect to your wireless network - the blue wifi symbol on the MG will flash and then stay on once it has connected. If it keeps flashing then you will have to reconnect the MG to your wireless access point via the control panel on the MG.

It worked for me finally. I took out the DNS numbers in airport admin utility, and restarted the airport express. I do not remember putting the DNS numbers in, I wonder from where the airport express got those numbers.
After restarting, it worked.
Thanks!

My Airport wireless is working for my two MacBook Pros and my daughter's iPod, but our iPad, Iphone and other iPod all say they need to set up an Airport Base Station but do not have the proper software. I'm not sure what to do to remedy this situation.

This might sound like a silly question, but are you sure the iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch etc.) are still trying to connect to the same network from your own Airport router, as the MacBook Pros are? If you tap Settings on them, is the network name next to where it says Wi-Fi, the right one?
I've got a weird feeling that either in the past couple of days, a neighbour got an Airport device and hasn't set it up yet (causing your iOS devices to try to help), or that perhaps there's an issue with your Airport router and they're noticing it and trying to help out, while for whatever reason, Airport Utility isn't opening itself on the MacBook Pros like it normally should if there's a problem.
If you open Airport Utility on one of the MacBook Pros, does it report any problems with your Airport device, and can you view/edit the settings on it?

External hdmi monitor connection causes airport wireless to fail

When I connect my 24" iMac (early 2009) to my Samsung 40" LCD TV using an HDMI display adapter and an HDMI cable, my built-in airport wireless connection stops working.
The airport will see wifi connections, but constantly prompts for the WPA password and refuses to connect. Occasionally it will connect, but only for a short time, and "ping times" to my router (small network packets) are large and sporadic.
This only happens when the adapter/cable are completely connected to the TV, and the TV is on. Of course this makes watching hulu.com on the TV very difficult!
Does anyone have any ideas?

Try resetting PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
and if that does not help, resetting SMC (power management)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
which is unplugging the iMac and reconnecting using a precise procedure. You should disconnect ALL cables from the iMac when you do this. If you have been using a power strip to connect your power cord, try connecting directly to a wall outlet for this test. Power up with nothing connected except for the power cord, then connect only the keyboard/mouse. After confirming everything is working, including the AirPort connection, connect the external display. Does the problem recur or not?

I just bought a airport wireless route and I have a time warner modem. My problem is my modem is not connecting to my apple airport router. What do I need to do?

Power cycle the cable modem.. you may try leaving it off 5min.. might be enough.. sometimes you need 15min or even longer.. Followed by power cycle of the AE.
Nothing else should be connected to the modem.. except the router that will get the public IP as they only hand out ONE>

Airport utility was unable to find any airport wireless device

Installed Airport Extreme connected to my PC running XP Pro. Configured my wireless network successfully. Updated to Aiport Utility for Windows ver 5.5.2 and the Airport Utility shows the 'unable to find an Airport wireless device' message and the 'Rescan' button. I uninstalled the upgraded Utility software, unplugged the Airport Extreme, installed the original software from the supplied disc, held down the reset button while plugging the power back in and waited till I got the amber/green fast flashing lights at which time I released the reset button. No change. Then upgraded the Airport Utility back to 5.5.2 and still no change. I can connect to the web from my PC and to an open wireless network named Apple Network f9561d.
Any help getting access to my Airport Extreme greatly appreciated. Thx

PC was/is always directly connected to Airport Extreme via ethernet. Windows XP Pro firewall always has been disabled (double checked). No firewall software. Disabled PC Tools malware protector. No virus protection or scanning software.
Only things showing in toolbar are NVidia Settings, Windows Volume Control, Network Connection icon,Safely Remove Hardware Icon and the time.
Don't have anything running that would block any ports.
Airport Utility for Windows is version 5.5.2.
Did another factory(?) reset as described before and pressed 'Rescan' button 15 times with no change. Devices connected via wireless are Nexus smartphone & HP laptop running Vista. All can access Internet, but slowly.
Tried rebooting PC several times with no difference. Tried plugging the PC ethernet cable into different ports in the Airport Extreme before I realized that I could always access the Internet from the PC so I was wasting my time : )
Tonite I unhooked my DLink wireless router, hooked up the Airport Extreme, installed the software, configured the network (perfectly) and then checked for and installed the
Airport Utility software upgrade (no others). As soon as it finished installing, I ran it and ended up with the error. I didn't install anything else or even run any other software. I saved the configuration, checked for and installed the upgrade. I haven't changed ANY settings on the PC or run any software other than Firefox to create my Apple account to report this problem.
Any help greatly appreciated.
