Antenna for AP EXTREME

Im replacing a LCD for a ibook G4 1.2Ghz, however the new LCD (got on FeeBay) has a different antenna cable it seems. This cable has 2 tiny male plugs on the end, other than the usual 1 big plug I'm used to that plugs into AP Extreme. Anyone shed any light on this ?
???

Steve,
Im not sure it's worth the risk to unsolder and resolder the antenna wire from the old frame.
Yah that's a really tiny coaxial cable and I haven't been able to solder them. What I was thinking about was taking the entire assembly. The ones I've seen unscrew from the frame.
Is there a way to Wifi via the USB port on the 12" 1.2Ghz iBook? A work-a-round?
Yes there are but I don't have much experience with them.

Can't pull off the antenna for AirPort Extreme Card

Hi,
I was trying to install an AirPort Extreme card on my G5 iMac...where I couldn't physically pull the tip of the antenna off the gray plastic base...
I tried turning it to the right and left, but it didn't help me out. Seems like I need a knack or something??
Somebody who knows it, could you please help?
Thanks!!

This Apple Support Document will provide some ideas to minimize wireless interference:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1365
The first obvious thing to try is to move the AirPort Extreme as far away as possible from the headphones. You can use virtually any length of Ethernet cable to physically connect the AirPort Extreme to your modem.
After that, the next best bet is to experiment with a different 2.4 GHz Channel setting by manually trying different channels.
If the interference persists, you may be forced into trying a different manufacturer of headphones, or abandon the BlueTooth communications.
A few years ago, I had to replace my cordless phones at the house for the same type of reason. Whenever the phone would ring....the wireless signal would crash.

Antennas for Airport Extreme

I would like to extend the range of my Airport Extreme. I ordered a D-Link antenna from MacMall with their assurance that it was compatible with Airport Extreme, but I find that the connector from the antenna does not match the jack on the back of my Airport Extreme.
Is there an adaptor that will allow the D-Link antenna to connect? Or can anyone recommend another antenna that is compatible with Airport Extreme?
My local Apple Store had nothing in stock and was no help at all, even though the manual for the Airport Extreme (bought 6 months ago) says that's where I can go for an antenna to extend the range.
Thanks for any help,

Read the posting, dude, and read the title of the Discussion Forum, "AirPort Extreme (802.11n)":
and maybe re-read it:
No external antenna can be hooked up to an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (802.11n). The AEBSn uses multiple internal antennas.
I repeat: the AEBSn CANNOT use external antennas. Period.
OK, so back to the original question -- why does Apple Store's site state specifically: "With this AirPort Extreme Base Station model you can extend the range of your wireless network by adding an Apple-approved omnidirectional or directional external antenna." and " External antenna port available on selected models. For use with Apple-approved antennas only; antennas sold separately. " and the title on the page is "AirPort Extreme Base Station (with modem and antenna port)" (http://tinyurl.com/yq3wmz)
Does anyone know specifically whether or not you can add an antenna, and if so, which one, and where to get it? I searched on Apple's site and couldn't find any antennas . . .
It just feels like this is getting extremely difficult, when Apple has always been extremely simple . . .
Any help would be welcome!
Thanks!

Antenna for Airport Extreme

I have recently moved to a larger house and find that my Airport Extreme can no longer provide reliable coverage to remote locations within the house.
I would really appreciate your suggestions for a reliable, reasonably priced antenna that would extend the Airport Extreme's range.
Thanks for the help.

Would the Dr. Bott's ExtendAIR Omni cut my bandwidth in half like a regular expander.
An antenna is a passive device. It's used to focus the wireless signal in certain directions, depending on it's design. It does not however put any additional energy into the broadcast - it just takes whatever energy is being put into it and concentrates that in a specific direction. For omni antennas, the energy that is normally sent straight down and straight up is focused into a horizontal plane, extending the reach of the wireless device horizontally.
With the AEBS, if you can imagine, the internal antenna pattern is a sphere with the AEBS being in the center of that sphere. Omni-directional antennas patterns are more like a donut, extending farther than the AEBS's sphere, but only in a single dimension.
Since bandwidth is dependent on signal strength, the farther you can extend the range of the signal, the more likely you will still have higher data rates farther away from the base station. Antennas, are typically, rated in dBi. The AEBS is pretty much an isotropic antenna, and thus has a 0 dBi...and the Dr. Bott antenna is + 3.5 dBi. The higher the dBi, the more "sensitive" the antenna (in a particular direction.)
On the other hand, boosters can actually increase the strength of the signal being transmitted. The AEBS transmission is around 32 mW. Boosters come in a variety of strengths, typically between 100 & 500 mW.

Is there any antenna for airport express?

I think i´m having problemas with the signal of my airport express and all the readings i made always refer antennas for airport extreme base station.
My question is, if there is any antenna for airport express that don´t needs an extreme base station.
Thanks

Two quick things to check using AirPort Utility on both devices:
On your "main" base station
Open AirPort Utility - click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab/label located just below the row of icons
There must be a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Click Update to save your changes.
If you don't see this option, you likely have an older AirPort Extreme that does not support the "extend" feature. Please clarify on the version that you have
On your AirPort Express
Open AirPort Utility - click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab
Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network
Wireless Name = Same name as your main network
Check mark next to "Allow wireless clients"
Wireless Security = Same setting as your main router
Wireless Password = Same password as your main network
Confirm Password
Click Update to save settings
If you do not see the "Extend a wireless network setting", you may have an older AirPort Express, or if you are sure that you have a newer 802.11n model, try holding down the option key while you click on the selection box to see if the "Extend" setting will appear.
Assuming no major obstructions between the main router and area that needs more wireless coverage, a good starting location for the Express would be a point that is approximately half the distance between the main router and the area that needs more coverage.
As I said, this feature works very well if major obstructions do not come into play.

Extra Antenna on Airport Extreme

My present Snow Airport does not give me full coverage in my house - I have to be relatively near it to get good signal (i.e. - 1 or 2 rooms away and not upstairs).
My question is this - if I buy an Airport Extreme with an extra Antenna (e.g. Dr. Bott Omni antenna), does plugging in the antenna into the airport turn the airports internal antenna off? Given the short lead on the Antenna, I'm thinking that I could site the Extreme BS downstairs and run the Antenna through the ceiling to upstairs. This would use the BS's antenna for downstairs and the external Antenna for upstairs - would this work?
Would I be better off buying an Airport Extreme BS and an Airport Express instead? I've heard third party routers are cheaper - can they act as remote stations just as easily? By the way, I only have standard airport card in my G3 iBook. My G3 iMac is cabled to the the Airport.
Many thanks for all your help.

Shane,
It might help to relocate your base station a short distance to avoid metal being in between (pipes, ductwork). I especially had a problem with a bathroom with a cast iron tub, medicine cabinet, etc. being between two rooms.
You might also want to verify that you have the latest firmware actually uploaded into the base station, as well as the software. A couple of times I noticed that I downloaded such things but never followed through to completion and the installers were sitting unused in my Utilities folder.

Do I need an antenna for Power Mac G5 Wifi?

From the last 30 minutes I've spent surfing the interent about this subject I have learned that I need an AirPort Extreme Card.
Do I need the wifi antenna also? I think I read that without it the wifi is pretty weak but my router is just across the hall.
Also, let me know if there ANY other options to get wifi please!

You need an antenna for all G5 towers from 2003 to early 2005 models.
The T shaped antenna is easily found on the web.

Extend Air Omni for Airport Extreme

I buyed from Apple Store Online the Extend Air Omni for Airport Extreme, but now my Airport Extreme don't have a antenna port.
It's possible ?

Only the M8799LL/A & M9397LL/A models of the AirPort Extreme Base Stations (AEBS) provide an external antenna port which you can plug the ExtendAIR Omni.

Help! No internet connection for airport extreme - any suggestions?

Help! I am currently (successfully) using an airport express for wifi - but I'm having a lot of trouble upgrading to a new airport extreme. As instructed, I've powered down my cable modem before turning on the extreme, but after I'm done with the set up - it tells me I don't have internet access. When I unplug the extreme and turn the Express unit back on I've got service with no problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Anytime you change networking hardware, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your networking components.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

I need an antenna for 4150l mifi hotspot

Can anyone recommend a decent antenna for the 4150l jet pack? Please don't recommend the Verizon Wireless Signal booster. I need an antenna which will improve my 4G signal. This is the only broadband option available where I live and the 4G signal is weak.
Thanks,
Mickey

Look into Wilson Antenna's. They have a Cellular Signal Booster. I live in the country and it works great for me. Here is there website address: www.WilsonElectronics.com You can get all the info there. Hope this helps.

Crashing at Startup: "Profiling for RT Extreme"

I've been using FCE HD 3.0 for the last two years without any problem. If anything, it was nothing but a little trashing of the preferences ot fix the problem. But yesterday morning, I started FCE up. The startup window with through everything like normal. It reminded me that I didn't have any decks connected. I clicked "Continue". The next thing that it said it was on cue was "Profiling for RT Extreme". I heard the processor sputter and the fan kick in. Saw the bright colored wheel of paralysis and the program crashed. I trashed the preferences and restarted the computer. Later I trashed anything temporal and related to Final Cut Express and zapped the PRAM. I saw on one board that possibly it was the permissions. So I went through and verified and repaired all the disks and permissions. Yet nothing has changed the impeccable crashing. I'm ready to reinstall the software but unfortunately I can't find my disks at all. So anyone got some advice.
1.8Ghz G5 (First Gen), 1gig Ram, 750gig HDD, FCE HD 3.0 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Here's an update and a whole new set of questions:
In effort to get back to work and try to finish a project by tomorrow, I called a friend and got his FCE HD disks, did a full uninstall, a full reinstall, and used my password. It started up just fine. I got my plug-ins and settings up and running and then started to work again, thinking all was fine. Opening any recent project made it crash immediately. I worked backwards through my autosave until I found a file that opened (which was hours of editing before all this happened). So I opened it, did some quick rendering. Then this project had a few Motion files that weren't in the project yet, so I tried to import them. Immediately the system crashed. Any Motion file will make it crash. Though, they open fine in Motion. So this makes me wonder if the reason it was crashing before is based on the Motion files which may have been a problem for FCE and its "Profiling For RT Extreme". So maybe why my sequences would make the system crash is based on the Motion files within in them. Hmmm. Any ideas on this Motion sickness?

Can I buy an FM antenna for my Zen V

The station I want to come in, is accessible with any radio...but not with my Mp3 player.
Can I buy some sort of antenna for this unit ?

The earphone cord is the FM antenna.
You could try another set of earphones- I've found that I get better reception on fringe stations when I use a set of earphones that have a longer cord.
