Is there a way to update firmware on airport extreme card to work with "n"?

I have a airport extreme card in my G4 Powerbook and want to know if I can somehow update that card to make it compatible with the new "n" wireless standard?
Even if I can't, should I update the firmware and if so, how do I go about doing it?
Thanks!
Dan

No there is no software update that will give that card 802.11n capability.
Your PowerBook can join an 802.11n network as long as that network is configured to operate in an 802.11b/g compatible mode. You will not get the speed benefits of 802.11n since your PowerBook will be operating at 802.11g.

Updated Firmware on AirPort Extreme and problems ever since

I updated my firmware on the AE-X and I have been having problems ever since. I have my MacBook Pro and two PC's on the network. Never had any problems until I updated. What gives?

There are a number of posts reporting enough problems with this update to suggest downgrading to the previous version may be worth considering. Read the following thread to determine how to do that:

Performing a "hard reset" might be all that's required. Try that first.

Hourly popup saying there's an update for my AirPort Extreme, when all of my AirPort devices are running the latest firmware. Any fix?

I keep getting a popup saying there's an update for my Airport Extreme, but all of my Airport devices (I have the Extreme, which is one of the original cone-shaped ones, as my base station, two Time Capsules running in bridge mode connected by Ethernet, and an Airport Express [original model] connected via wireless) are running the most recent firmware for each device.
It's harmless but extremely annoying. Has anyone else had this problem? I've tried re-uploading the firmware to all four Airport devices, but it didn't help. Is there any way to turn off the automatic checking? It's obviously not working right in any case.

I assume that you have already done the basic things like powering off the entire network and restarting.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Select the AirPort Extreme, and click Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab located below the row of icons
Click Options near the bottom of the next window
Remove the check mark next to "Check for firmware updates"
Click Done, then click Update and wait for the AirPort Extreme to restart.

Having trouble with my Airport Utility not supporting either of my Airports Expresses or Basestation. Do i have to update Firmware of airports or is the issue with my version of Utility which i believe is the latest. Thank you.

AirPort Utility in Mountain Lion will not support the older versions of the AirPort Express.....model numbers A1084 and A1088. Check on the side of the Express for the model number.
In addition, AirPort Utility in Mountain Lion will not support the older "round" or "dome" shaped versions of the AirPort Extreme.
Can you check to see how your devices might be affected?

Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme..

This will work.....IF....you also have an Apple AirPort router configured to provide your wireless network.
In other words, you need to have two Apple AirPort routers to extend a wireless network.
When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "extend" the wireless of the "main" AirPort, it will provide more wireless coverage and the Ethernet ports are enabled, so you could connect your Mac Pro to any of the Ethernet ports and use that as a network and Internet connection.

Without third-party software I don't think you can. An iPad has no user-accessible interface to a file system. Just what is it you're trying to do?

Can I use an old Airport Extreme as an extender with a new Airport Express

Hi All, I have Verizon Fios and the data line runs into my bedroom. I purchased a new Airport Express today to replace the Airport Extreme (from 2006). Can I use the old Airport Extreme as an extender (I'd like to set it up in the basement as I get poor connectivity there). I tried using the Airport Utility - Other WiFi Devices to find the Airport Extreme, but it's not registering. Is what I'm attempting possible? If so, how do I set it up?

Can I use the old Airport Extreme as an extender
Is this the "round" or "dome" shaped AirPort Extreme?
If yes, then it is not possible to have the AirPort Extreme wirelessly "extend" the signal from the AirPort Express.
However, the older AirPort Extreme can probably be set up to provide more wireless signal coverage if it will connect back to the LAN <--> port on the AirPort Express using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection.
In this case, the setup of the older AirPort Extreme will require that you have an older version of AirPort Utility installed on your computer. If it is a Mac, then the Mac must be running Leopard (10.5.x), Snow Leopard (10.6.x), or a PC with AirPort Utility could be used to set up and configure the older Extreme.
f you have the "square" or "flat" version of the AirPort Extreme, then everything becomes much easier. Post back if you do.

Can Time Capsule backup an Airport Extreme's attached USB hard drive?

Can Time Capsule backup an Airport Extreme's attached USB hard drive (without currently being attached to a MAC OSX LION system)?

No, sorry.. there is no way for the TC to see the files.. and even if you plug the hard disk into the TC there is no mechanism in the TC to drag the files to itself.. The TC is absolutely a dumb network attached drive.. everything you want to do must be done from a computer.

Can't connect ipad to airport extreme

Can't connect ipad to airport extreme after internet provider reset modem. Works fine only with MacBook Pro.

Have you tried resetting your network settings?
Try "forgetting" that network. Tap Settings > Wi-Fi, tap the chevron next to your wireless network name and then "forget this network".
Tap it again to choose it.
If that does not work... then try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
You will need to enter your networks passwords again, after which they will be remembered.
To see available networks go to Settings > Wi-Fi. Available networks are shown under Choose a Network...
iOS: Connecting to Wi-Fi
