Any ideas on a cheap 100% airport compatible wireless usb device?

I need to upgrade my wireless to n, and wish to do so with a USB wireless dongle. I tried using one but it was incompatible with airport and resultingly was slow and inefficient, not to mention i couldnt actually connect system wide to my LAN, and cant use ssh and ftp with my other computers D:. I also cant port forward my server :'( because my stupid adapter doesnt have a recognisable static IP . But it gets worse, because when i go online searching for an adapter, every one of them costs around £50 (~$90?) Does anyone know of a suitable good g/n wireless usb adapter that works with airport and doesnt cost a bomb? It really lets the OS down if i cant use the internet.

Please check out this wireless USB adapter offered by Other World Computing.

    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.

    Linksys has several 802.11n adapters compatible with the AEBSn.

    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.

  • Can Any one please help me find a compatible Wireless N MINI PCI Express Card for my HP G50-133us?

    I have a HP G50-133US notebook, it currently has a Atheros AR5007 802.11b/g WiFi Adapter. I am looking to upgrade it to a B/G/NWiFi Card. I can find plenty of Mini Pci-Express Wireless N cards but not sure if they are compatible. Does anyone know if as long as it is Mini PCI-Express and have the correct drivers this would work? Or does anyone know if a known working upgrade that would work? Any help would be appreciated!! Thank you!.

    You MUST get an HP branded wi-fi card AND it has to be on the "white list" for your computer in the BIOS or the card will block the computer from booting with an error message. Here is a link to your Manual:
    Manual
    Page 19 starts the list of known compatible wifi cards.
    You can search eBay by part number for the card and likely find one at a decent price.

  • Airport Extreme Wireless USB Printing

    Hey Folks,
    I have an airport extreme running the latest firmware. Prior to installing the latest version of the firmware I was able to print wirelessly using a USB hub. My printer is an HP PSC 2510 photosmart all-in-one printer. After I downloaded and installed the latest version of the airport firmware I was no longer able to print wirelessly. I have tired all the suggestions on the apple support web site to no avail. Any suggestions? Anyone with a similar problem. I'm still able to print wired directly to my laptop.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Bonjour all,
    I too have the same issue. I have 1 PB Pro, 2 MacBook Pros connected to a Samsung CLP-300 color laser printer via Airport Express' USB port. All Macs are running the latest version of the OS (10.5.2). Prior to 10.5.2 update, everything was working fine for all of the computers with the same exact setup.
    Whenever I try to print via Leopard, it does the first time but then I have to flush the printer queue (by turning off and on the printer first and do the same for APE) in order to be able to print again. Otherwise if I don't do this, it seems that the queue never gets flushed properly.
    The only way I can print for now (work-around) without problem is via Windows XP emulator on Parallels Desktop v3.0 (build 5584) with the Bonjour driver installed. I have to go under Windows XP to get any type of printouts I would like my apps under Leopard to perform. I essentially create PDF documents (under Leopard) I want to print, then I go in Parallels Desktop - Windoze side using the same printer which is still connected via APE USB port. The queue gets cleaned properly and I can still print other documents without flushing everytime.
    To me it appears that Apple Update has created the problem. Not the printer driver!
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers.

  • Airport Express & Wireless WIFI device from cell phone carrier

    I am trying to understand the functions and purpose of this airport things!
    Can airport express be used with my wifi mobile broadband device from local cell phone carrier?
    The main reason I am thinking about this purchase is to add 2 printers to be able to print to from my MACBOOK.
    I am also looking to expand anything else I can with this airport thing?
    Forgive the lack of understanding and thank you in advance !

    Welcome to the discussions!
    +Can airport express be used with my wifi mobile broadband device from local cell phone carrier?+
    The AirPort Express can "join" a wireless network as a client and providing that your printers are compatible, you should be able to print to them. Not all printers are compatible and if you have an all-in-one device, only the print function will work. Fax, scan, copy, maintenance, etc will not work when the device is attached to the AirPort Express USB port.
    If you want to connect more than one printer to the AirPort Express, you will need a powered USB hub.
    The AirPort Express will not be able to "extend" your wireless network. In other words, it will not do anything to boost your wireless signal.
    I would advise you to make sure that you understand the store's return policy in case things do not work out as you hope.

  • Mac Compatible Wireless USB Dongle

    Recently, I purchased a used iBook G4 (Mid 2005). The price was right, but the seller informed me that there was an issue with the Airport card. That issue being that the computer would kernel panic whenever airport was turned on.
    I have been running the computer smoothly with airport turned off and a direct connection to the internet. However, the lack of portability is becoming frustrating, and rather than pay to have the computer serviced, or replace the card myself (Airport Card is not a DIY on the mid 2005 iBook like I initially thought), I decided to buy a USB dongle to connect to my wireless network.
    However, after several frustrating searches, I have been unable to find a USB dongle that is Mac compatible. I imagine that many are compatible with OS X 10.4.11 even if it isn't explicitly mentioned, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a good USB dongle that I would be able to use with little to no problems.
    Ooops! Should have marked this topic as a question. My apologies ...

    http://www.macwireless.com/ may have a solution for you, but it won't be USB. You can attach an ethernet wireless router to the ethernet port of the machine and share a wireless network with another wireless router. I don't recommend using USB wireless dongles as they tend to be slower than you may want, and frequently they only have non-standard drivers, which can get very picky if the machine falls asleep.

  • I am trying to sync games from itunes to my ipod but after the sync is finished the games are not on my ipod and on itunes they are no longer selected. any ideas?

    I am trying to sync games from itunes to my ipod touch. After the sync is done the games I checked to sync are no longer checked and nothing was actually synced. Any ideas?

    Are the apps/games compatible with your model iPod and iOS?
    Do you have restrictions set that prevent installing the apps? Settings>General>Restrictions
    Have you successfully synced apps from that iTunes library to your computer before?

  • Cannot connet to extreme in hotels but can at home, any ideas?

    travel alot and take my airport extreme with me to hotels that have high speed internet hookups in the rooms. when i hook it up to my extreme to give me wireless access, i can't pick up the signal, although it works fine at home. any ideas?

    When using the Airport Base Station with a hotel's ethernet network, you often will need to disable its router (uncheck the setting to "Distribute IP addresses" found under the Network tab of the Airport Admin Utility) and then cable the LAN port of the Base Station to the room's ethernet jack.

  • I am struggling to connect my macbook pro to a wireless network. Works fine with USB and my Toshiba can print wirelessly but not the MAC. Any ideas?

    Hi
    I cant print wirelessly on my Mac pro but can via usb. the Toshiba does work wirelessly..any ideas?

    If you can use the wireless network properly (surf the web, check email, etc.) then there is probably nothing wrong with your network settings.
    When you print from your Mac Pro, does the printer show up in the Printer list at all (in the Print dialog box)?
    If not, have you already tried to Add Printer from the bottom of the Printer list?
    If you click Add Printer and it can't see the printer, the next thing to do is probably go to the Toshiba printer web site and see if there is a Mac printer driver to download and install so that it shows up in the Printer list.

  • I have just recently lost use of 2 USB ports and my isight camera.  I have an isight G5 imac that has been working great.  I have rebooted, reloaded my OS, and tried PRAM reset.  I can use my keyboard, but not other peripherals.  Any ideas on diagnostics?

    I have just recently lost use of 2 USB ports and my isight camera.  My keyboard works fine, but there is not any indication of connections when probing USB in "About this MAC".  I have rebooted, executed a PRAM reset, and reloaded my OS, but to no avail I am out 2 of my 3 USB ports.  I don't know how to diagnose the issue.  Any ideas?

    Well, if you've tried different USB cords and devices and have reset your PRAM:

    And SMC:

    I'd say your USB ports are shot - since they are an integral part of the logic board, replacing it will most likely be expensive. I'd still go for a definitive diagnosis at the Genius Bar.

  • I have downloaded ios 6 on my ipad 2 but it wouldn't install and now my ipad won't work (just has the apple logo on the screen periodically) or reset. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    I have downloaded ios 6 on my ipad 2 but it wouldn't install and now my ipad won't work (just has the apple logo on the screen periodically) and it won't reset. Any ideas folks? Thanks in advance.

    Try restoring the device using iTunes. Connect the iPad to your computer and when iTunes opens, select your device on the left side, then click on the summary tab, then click on Restore.
    After the device is restored you will have an opportunity to restore from your backup. Restore from the backup when you are done and then sync with iTunes.
    if that doesn't work, try recovery mode.

  • HT1386 I recently purchased an album from itunes.  When I subsequently sync'ed my ipod touch I ended up with all tracks of that album doubled on my ipod and I lost all my playlists. Subsequent syncing has not fixed it.  Any ideas what to try?

    I recently purchased an album from itunes.  When I subsequently sync'ed my ipod touch I ended up with all tracks of that album doubled on my ipod and I lost all my playlists. Subsequent syncing has not fixed it.  Any ideas what to try?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    You said:
    No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this. 
    That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.
