Belkin model F5D7230-4, Version 5000 & iMac w/ 10.4 OS w/ Airport

I've read some threads on how to make a connection between the Belkin and the Mac, and I'm too much of a computer novice to follow any of them. Can anyone, in very simplistic terms, help me? I.e., perhaps something like "go to this menu > then this menu > then here and type this info, which is found here."
I've e-mailed Belkin, but their website shows the model F5D7230-4 as version 4000 only, and their information simply states that "there is a problem." Telephone and e-mail requests for help are fruitless.
Again, any simplified help is greatly appreciated.

Hi, I have some experience of connecting my Powerbook G4 w/airport to a Belkin F5D7630 which I had upto about 4 weeks ago.
First you need to make sure your router is in it's simplest state for connecting wirelessly. Use the config screens to make sure SSID is enabled and disable any encryption for now. I assume you have correctly input your ISP's settings? Also make sure you have the correct region set. All this should be in your manual.
Once your router is ready you need to check airport on the mac to make sure it's able to connect. Go into System Prefs>Network. Under Show, select Airport. Under that you will see the Airport tab highlighted. Under "By default join" select Automatic. Then click the TCP/IP tab. Ensure Configure IPv4 is set to Using DHCP. Under the PPPOE tab make sure Connect using PPPOE is NOT checked.
Then click Apply now. Airport should detect the router, but if not try in this order, switch off both Mac and Router. Switch on router and wait for all lights to come on that should do, ie ADSL, WLAN, Power, LAN port(if you have anything connected via ethernet). Then power on the Mac. Airport should find your Belkin network or give you an option to join it. Once you're connected you need to make sure you put encryption back on the router WPA PSK is best. Airport will disconnect when you do this, but just cick on the airport icon on the menu bar and select your network name and you will be asked for encryption type then the password you used in the router. That should be it. Good luck.

    About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring

  • IPod 4,1 will not update to iOS 7. I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 (maverick). Latest Numbers version on iMac is not compatible with Numbers on iPod. Ideas? Can I go back a version with Numbers?

    iPod 4,1 will not update to iOS 7. I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 (maverick). Latest Numbers version on iMac is not compatible with Numbers on iPod. Ideas? Can I go back a version with Numbers? I downloaded old version of Numbers 2.0.1 from DVD but with both versions the 2.0.1 will not open.  So both versions are present but only the new version functions. I tried to drag the new version to the trash but the old version still runs error message and will not open. I did not try to restart with the new version in the trash.

    Maybe. See:

  • Can i use a belkin wireless g router with an iMac

    can i use a belkin wireless g router with an imac

    It will work. The wireless card in iMacs (recent ones) work with n, g, and b networks. The g protocol is slower (54 mbs) versus n (130 mbs up to 300 mbs). My employer has hundreds of such access points and has been updating them all to n, but there are still some g routers they haven't gotten to, and they work fine. 54 mbs is not bad, it's about 5 megabytes/sec roughly. Typical actual throughput is lower than these numbers by ~ 50%, so doing a large Mac OS update download of 300 Megabytes would take about ~ 2 minutes with a g router, and maybe a bit less than 1 minute with an n router.

    I was able to correctly identify DroidX and Motorola Xoom family edition in my test, with no ane, pretty cool!

    Okay. I've found an answer:
    yes, you can and have to add these icons via the descriptor file, since flash wont let you. But before you do that, go into the "Air publish" settings in flash. Here, right on page 1, there is the "include files" section. Add your icon pngs there. Hit OK and exit these settings. Now open the descriptor with an editor outside of flash and write in the files like I posted above. Close. Save. Make it write protected. No go to flash and publish.

  • How come my iMac and MacBook connect to my AirPort Extreme but my iPhone and iPad 2 won't?

    How come my iMac and MacBook connect to my AirPort Extreme but my iPhone and iPad 2 don't?

    Sorry, I should have been more clear. I am asking if the DNS IP addresses, not the IP addresses assigned by the DHCP service, are the same. DNS is like the Internet's version of the Yellow Pages. Your ISP typically will provide them to you or you can elect to use those provided by another source, like OpenDNS.
    DNS is the service that translates a website's URL to its actual IP address so that you can access it. I am just trying to rule out that the PC is not configured properly with the correct DNS IP information.
    The other thing to check is if the PC is configured to use a Proxy service. By default, it would not be.
    Finally, what is the make & model of the PC. More importantly, if the PC is using either a PCI or USB wireless adapter, what is its make & model?

  • How do you upload firmware to Airport extreme with the following message: This version of AirPort Utility requires this AirPort Extreme use firmware version 7.3.1 or later. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to update this base station. I'm using airport utility 6.0

    The airport extreme at my parent's house has not had its firmware update in some time and it keeps dropping the internet connection and needing to be reset.
    I went to update firmware and opened up airport utilities (I'm running airport 6.0 on Mountain Lion, 10.7.4).  Everytime I open the airport utility I get the following message: "
    This version of AirPort Utility requires this AirPort Extreme use firmware version 7.3.1 or later. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to update this base station. AirPort Utility 5.6 is available at AirPort Service and Support.
    I've followed the link and tried to update firmwares but none are available and the print says that airport utility will look to see if firmware are available and load them as necessary when prompted by user.
    One link said the only way to solve this problem is open up Airport Utility 5.6. I tried to do this, but 5.6 is not supported on Mountain Lion and couldn't be opened up.
    I'm getting the exact same message on my other computer, a Mac Air.
    So basically, can't download new firmware and am stuck with a ****** airport extreme that needs to keep being reset, a factory reset, in order to use the internet, but then continues to give me the same message.
    Thanks!

  • IMac 17" G4 (Flat Panel) - Which Airport Card

    I have an iMac 17" G4 Flat Panel computer. The processor is 1.0 Ghz. I looked up on Apple's site which card it takes. This link is a bit confusing. It says the iMac G4 17" Flat Panel uses an original AirPort card, but then the next line says iMac 17" 1 Ghz uses an AirPort Extreme Card.
    Here is the link...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86258
    Anyone know for sure?

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    If your processor speed is ≥1GHz then you have the correct card (Airport Extreme). If your iMac is ≤800MHz then you need the original Airport card.
    Make sure you have the card inserted fully in to the slot.
    let us know how you get on.

  • If I have my iMac internet sharing turned on, the Airport Utility won't recognize the Airport Express I want to use to stream iTunes to my stereo.  When I turn the iMac internet sharing off, the Airport Express appears but calls itself a base station.

    If I have my iMac internet sharing turned on, the Airport Utility won't recognize the Airport Express I want to use to stream iTunes to my stereo.  When I turn the iMac internet sharing off, the Airport Express appears but calls itself a base station.  I just bought the Airport Express and it's not clear how I should set up my System Preferences for Sharing.  Thx

    Yes. Unfortunately the stereo is too far from the wired ethernet connection   My iMac is connected to the internet using an ethernet cable from the DSL modem (plugged into the wall, not wireless).  The Airport Express is plugged into an outlet 25' away from the iMac and connected to my speakers.  I've turned on the iMac Airport wireless Internet Sharing, hoping to stream iTunes to the Express connected to the stereo.  The iMac Airport picks up several neighborhood networks so I know it's working (and I connected my iPhone wifi to it just to check as well).
    When I use Airport Utility to set up the Express, the only time Utility recognizes the Express is when the iMac Airport is off.  When I turn on the iMac Airport, the Airport Utility immediately loses the Express and asks to rescan.
    Maybe that explains my problem better.

  • I have just upgraded iTunes to version 11 and now cannot stream via my airport express to my hiFi. I get error 15000. how can this be corrected?

    I have just upgraded iTunes to version 11 and now cannot stream via my airport express to my hiFi. I get error 15000. how can this be corrected?

    You've done great so far to upgrade to Leopard & install more RAM. Now install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    After you install the 10.5.8 update, click on the Apple in the menu & select Software Update. You will then be informed of some application updates. iTunes may be one of them. Then click to install the app updates.

  • When I put iMac to sleep it disconnects with Airport Express

    I have an Apple Imac 2.1 and a G4 laptop, and have no problems with either of them connecting to the internet, but my 2.93 Intel Core 2 Duo IMac is another story.
    Whenever I put it to sleep I have to go through the full deal to reconnect it to the internet, so as, what is your password, which network would you like to connect to, etc.
    How do I stop it doing this and behave like the other two, cause it's behavior is really pxxxxng me off. Could someone out there please help me to stop it doing this. thanking you

    The AirPort Express does not "sleep", it's always "on"...so you have an iMac issue...not an AirPort Express issue. You may be better served by posting in the iMac Forum.
    If you have not already done so, open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and open Network. Click on AirPort on the left and then click Advanced at the lower right. Make sure that your network name is at the top of the connection list so that your iMac will connect to that network first. Drag it to the top if needed.
    Delete any old networks displayed that you no longer need by clicking them to highlight them and then clicking the - (minus) button at the bottom of the connection list.
    Make sure that there is a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined". No other boxes should be checked.
    Click OK, then click Apply
    Restart your iMac and see if that helps. If no luck, you should post in the iMac Forum for further help.
