Can't Connect to Internet using AirPort Extreme Card and DLink Router

I have tried just about everything, but I can't seem to connect my MAC OS X 10.3.9 to the internet. I am using the Airport Extreme Card and no networks show up. I am trying to connect to my DLink router. I was told by DLink that it is compatible with AirPort Extreme cards, but the guys at Best Buy were unable to connect to their wireless routers, other than their Mac Router. Please let me know if you have a solution! Thanks

dannabee, Welcome to the discussion area!
What Mac do you have?
Do you have iMac G5 or a Power Mac G5?
Did you install the AirPort Extreme card yourself?

Cant connect to Netgear WPN824 with Airport Extreme Card

Hi,
I have a Netgear wireless router. I can connect to the router without a problem when I hard wire it. When I go wireless the Mac doesnt even recogonize the router. I have no security right now, so I could try to connect the easiest. This is a brand new Airport extreme card that I installed tonight in my Imac g5. Using OS 10.4.10. Please help!!! Thanks!!!
I would think it would at least be able to recognize the network (which the name is being broadcasted). But it doesnt even show up.

Did you connect the antenna wire to the AirPort Extreme card?
Compare the antenna wire installation with the photos in KB 108039, Properly attaching the antenna on an AirPort Extreme Card.

Trickling down connection with airport extreme "card"

I recently bought an airport extreme card for my mac pro (older model, 2008?)
Anyways, the problem is that i live in an apartment that offers free wireless. Naturally i suspect the signal to be weak as it has been for a laptop ive used here before. Airport works fine except that when i connect and have a download it starts out high like around 200kb/sec and then slams down to about 12kb/sec then slowly trickles down to a request time out. (I am unable to update because of it.) At first i thought the problem was just well...the apartment, then booted up into Vista and started a download and it keeps a steady pace of about 9kb/sec without timing out.... I tried connecting the 1 and 3 wires, as well as the 2 and 3 and pretty much i noticed no difference. Any suggestions? What firmware is better to use for this?

thnx for the suggestion. That's not my problem.
I do have WiFI connection. So I am already connected tot the AE....the part I do not understand is why I can not connect to the external harddisk that is connected to the AE.
Especially because:
1) It used to be connected
2) My other macbook does connect to the external harddisk

Very high latency on my MBP 3,1 (mid 2007) with airport extreme card 0x168C

Hi
I wanted to let you know that i filled a bug report concerning a problem involving a MacBookPro3,1 and my airport extreme card (AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x87) Firmware Version 1.4.16.2)
If you've got any feedback, please feel free to share it with me.
Here's the bug report:
Hello
I'm experiencing very high latency on my MBP when connected using Wi-Fi in my living room and I believe this is a software bug.

Obviously, my Mac has very high latency where my PC works as expected.
I tried resetting the PRAM, but i didn't affect my results.
I tried updating Airport with the latest AirPort Client Update (http://support.apple.com/downloads/AirPortClient_Update_for_MacBook_and_MacBookPro), but my hardware wasn't eligible for that update (Mid 2007 MacBookPro).
I believe this isn't a hardware bug because i get acceptable ping results when next to my router or in other rooms of my flat.
Can you help me with that bug ?

Laurent

Can't connect to network with Airport Extreme

I have just purchased and installed an Airport Extreme card (firmware version 405.1) into my eMac (with ATI graphics). The card appears in System Profiler, and I have attached the antenna wire. However, it cannot see my network (the only network in range). My iPhone can see the network when it is in the same location (as can a few Windows devices).
I have tried turning off encyption, to no avail. I believe my router is broadcasting on a frequency my card can recieve.
I have also tried resetting my SystemConfiguration folder. What else should I try?

Thanks again for the suggestions.
I had tried the router on 1 and 6, just tried it on 11 as well. No joy.
It is broadcasting the SSID.
MAC filtering isn't on.
...and then I put it back to channel 1, and now it's working!
It's working now, and there doesn't seem to be any settings that are different to when I started.
The signal is increadibly low though. When I put the access point antenna literally in the drivebay, I get three bars (out of four). A meter away I get 2 or 1 and everything times out.
It appears that something is wrong with the antenna wire, or the connection to it. This was probably an important factor all along.

Can't connect to MacBook with Airport Extreme

I just swapped Airport Extreme base with new Airport Extreme 8012.N and now my Macbook can't connect to internet, keeps cutting out and dropping off. I have an iMac G5 connected via ethernet to Airport Extreme and Macbook in living room. It was working fine with old Airport Extreme router. I also have an Apple Express (not new 8012.N ) but it just blinks orange when plugged in. Any help would be appreciated.

You have to power down everything to start with. Make a clean slate so to speak.
I switched from an older Air Port Express to the new Extreme. Run the new software and when you power back up the new base station should show in the window. Follow the steps. It made me feel stupid the 1st time through and I had to do it again. You have to take your bent paperclip and reset.
After I got the new base station up and running I took the old Express and used it for Airtunes. At first it just blinked and wouldn't show up on the list of devices. I had to do the paperclip thing. And there it was! Green light! Follow the steps for Airtunes. Then I had to reconfigure my settings for my HP 3300 series wireless printer. That wasn't so bad, it all worked.
The machines all work well; we all just need pay close attention to the instructions.
I think that the Apple on line instructions could be a bit more clear. It all worked as it was supposed to but it was certainly a trial and error process.

Is Duel Ethernet Airport Base compatible with Airport Extreme Card?

I am about to upgrade to the new Macbook Pro 15" from my Titanium G4. I currenty have the original Airport card and the dual ethernet Airport Station.
Question - will the new Pro with the Airport Extreme card be compatible with the old base station?
If it will, what would be the advantages of upgrading to a new Extreme Basestation?

magicnme, Welcome to the discussion area!
Question - will the new Pro with the Airport Extreme card be compatible with the old base station?
Yes, the MacBook Pro can connect to a 802.11b base station like the Dual Ethernet (aka snow) AirPort base station (ABS).
If it will, what would be the advantages of upgrading to a new Extreme Basestation?
The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) offers a USB printer port for wireless printing.
The AEBS offers WPA and WPA2 wireless encryption.
Also if you have other computers on your local network, large file transfers between your computers will be faster.

Slow Speedtest results with Airport Extreme Card

Hi,
We just upgraded our internet to a 5G network with TWC. All the devices in our home are now speedtesting at 100 mb/s wonderfully.
Except one.
My Mac Pro 8 Core 2009 4,1. Running OSX 10.8.5
The mac pro is speedtesting at only 30 mb/s while everything else (MBP, MBA, iphone 5) all speddtesting at 100 mb/s. Alla re connected to the new network.
Is the problem the older airport extreme card? Or is there something I can do in settings or firmware upgrade to sort this?
Here are the specs of the Airport extreme card on the MP:

tek_uk, Welcome to the discussion area!
(a) Did you connect the external 'T' AirPort shaped antenna to the back our your G5? This antenna shipped with your Power Mac G5.
(b) Compare the antenna wire connection at the AirPort Extreme card with the photos in KB 108039, Properly attaching the antenna on an AirPort Extreme Card.

Short short range with airport extreme card

Hello,
my neighbour bought an Airport Extreme Card for his iBook, in order to connect (wireless) to my airport express base station. (our flats are adjacent). His mac is an iBook G4 with OS X 10.3.4
We installed the card, the airport software, but no network appeared in the network menu...
We had to move to my flat and take his iBook very close from the Airport Express Base Station... and then, we were able to connect. But the quality of connection was very poor.
The network works fine, my computer and the one of my Wife (a Mac and a PC) connect perfectly.
Do you have an idea of what could be wrong ?
Compatibility between the iBook and the card ?
Card with a defect ?
Software problems ?
Thank you a lot for helping.

Charles, Welcome to the discussion area!
Did you properly connect the antenna wire to the AirPort Extreme card? Look at the photos in KB 108039, Properly attaching the antenna on an AirPort Extreme Card. It can take more force than most people think to get the antenna wire properly connected.

Power Mac G5 fails to start up with Airport Extreme card in.

Hello.
I just received a 'new' Airport Extreme card for my Power Mac G5 1.8 (900fsb). I just installed it and it failed to start up with it in. The mac started up but without my Apple LCD and any USB devices. I did a PMU reset on the logic board and took out the Crucial 3rd party 512mb RAM and tried again but it won't start up. When I take the card out it's business as usual.
Is it the card or the mac that's at fault? Has anyone had this problem too?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

This problem can happen if:
- the card has not been fully seated into its socket (doing that can take a firm push) or if you installed the card upside down
- the card is defective
- the card socket in the PowerMac G5 has broken or bent contact pins
Check the installation you did with:
http://www.info.apple.com/usen/cip/pdf/g5/apec_c.pdf
If you are sure the card has been properly installed, you are gong to have to either (a) try a different Airport Extreme card or (b) let an Apple dealer or service center take a look at your PowerMac G5.

Powerbook will not startup with airport extreme card installed

I have a 2 year old powerbook using 10.3.9 an djust of late when my airport card is in, The computer just sends me to the open Firmware right after i turn it on.when i type mac-boot it comes up with a broken folder icon. however when i take my card out i dont have a problem. is there a wa i can ues my computer and the airport at the same time? what do you think i should do.

it is a 867 mhz g4 with 256 mb ddr ram. 40 gb hd and
a combo drive. i hope that is helpfull.
This PowerBook requires the original Airport card, you can not use the Airport Extreme card in that PowerBook, any attempt to do so could result in damage to both the card and the PowerBook.
Either change the AE card for an original Airport or use a third party 802.11g card in the cardbus slot.

Fed up with Airport Extreme card errors connecting to wireless network

Since buying my black MacBook in June I have been 'enjoying' completely haphazard connection to my (encrypted) home wireless network, and been forced to sponge off some neighbour's open network half the time, as I keep getting the message 'there was an error connecting to the ... wirless network'.
I HAVE connected to my network successfully, and from time to time the ghost in my machine does let the MacBook connect to it all by itself, so there is no compatibility issue as such. I had hoped that downloading the most recent Airport Extreme Firmware Update would help, as it promised to 'improve reliability', but alas. I've tried downgrading to 10.4.9 as somebody suggested on these forums, but that didn't make any difference, so I'm now back on 10.4.10.
The whole thing is driving me completely bonkers, so if anyone has any suggestions (or would consider joining me for a complaint to the Advertising Standards Authority about Apple's misleading advertisements promising that 'it just works'...) I would be most grateful.

Don't order an ethernet cable from the Apple Store, any geek worth his salt might have one in his back pocket or a few in his bag (probably calls it a "patch cord".) Even Target sells them for $7-8 but anyone in IT buys them in bulk for $1-2 or makes their own for even less (materials cost, anyway, but they do take a bit of time and skill to put the ends on correctly).
As for the wireless, I moved from a Powerbook G4 to a MBP 17" to a new MBP 15," and I have been very disappointed in how less stable the MBP wireless connection is than my old PB G4 or even my wife's four year old iBook as she sits on the couch near me merrily surfing away while I grumble. However, I have a cheapy SMC wireless router - I don't have the problem at work where we have Airport base stations or at many other places with different brand routers - it's tough to nail down, and it's **** aggravating, especially when working on a deadline.

Using a second router with airport extreme

I have hooked up a second router to my airport extreme for the purpose of providing more ethernet ports. When I do this I disable the wifi on the second router and place it in a bridge mode to let the airport do DHCP.
However none of the PC's in the house can access the internet when plugged into this second router. My mac can access the internet through this second router, however. If I enable the second router's distributions of DHCP, the PC's can access the internet. I an certain this is wrong, however because if my mac is hooked up to this second router my "back to my mac tab" in System Preferences > Mobile me gives me the Double NAT error.
I have tried two different routers attached to the Airport Extreme with the same results. What do you think?

I don't think it needs to be spinning all the time, others disagree with me, whatever is the correct answer it doesn't matter as there is no way to stop it. Hopefully we will at least have the option at some time in the future to let it spin down.

Cannot get MacBook to connect to internet with Airport Extreme

Starting this in a new thread so it doesn't get lost:
I'm having a similar issue as a previous poster. I got the AEBS set up and working on my PC (running XP)--light was green, able to connect to internet. However, when I tried to connect using my MacBook it would not connect. It was telling me "ethernet not connected" and "firewire not connected". Already updated my OS to Snow Leopard. I wanted to switch from my previous wifi connection (belkin--no security code) to the AEBS, but I wound up having to switch back after trying to figure this out for SEVERAL HOURS. All the connections were correct--basically just transferred over the belkin wires to the AEBS--cable modem into the AEBS WAN port and then the other connecting cable into the ethernet ports to connect the modem to the AEBS. Tried switching the cables also--neither worked in getting the wifi connected. Tried rebooting both the cable modem and the AEBS--did not fix the wifi connection issue. I am ready to return this thing if I cannot get this figured out without wasting another 6 hours. After trying to reset everything I then wound up getting an issue where I could not connect at all even though the green light was on and the cable modem's lights were all on and I got an error code: error-6753. Again tried rebooting everything, but still had the same error code. I have unplugged the blasted thing, reset my Belkin so I can at least get back on-line and connect with the MacBook as well. Any suggestions? Not familiar with techie language.
UPDATE--just looked on the MacBook again to see how the belkin is connected. It says "airport connected", "ethernet not connected", "firewire not connected": same as when I had the AEBS set up. Airport connected was indicated with the AEBS also. Able to connect with the belkin, but not the AEBS on the MacBook. HELP

Thanks for the clarification.
You know that you need to reset the cable modem whenever you change the device that it is connected to, correct? Push the reset button, power off the modem, (and pull the battery if it's easily accessible). The power down can be a few minutes to 30-60 depending on your provider. It's always better to leave the modem powered down longer rather than shorter if you're not sure how fast the equipment at your ISP will reset back at their offices.
You're probably tired of resetting the AirPort Extreme, but I would recommend a factory default reset to clear everything out and start fresh.
Power off the AirPort Extreme (AEBS)
Hold in the reset button and keep holding it in while you plug the power back into the AEBS
Keep holding the reset button until you see the amber light blink more quickly, hold another second or two when you see this, and then release.
Connect the ethernet cable from the modem to the WAN (circle icon) port on the AEBS. I also suggest that you temporarily connect another ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports until you have the device configured.
Open AirPort Utility and click Continue to follow the guided setup. On the 3rd or 4th window, you'll be asked how you want to configure the device. Choose the "Create a wireless network" option and continue to follow the setup until you Update the AEBS. You should have a green light in 20-30 seconds.
For now, keep the ethernet cable connected from the LAN port to your computer and open your browser to check and see if you can get an internet connection. If so, then disconnect the ethernet cable and click the AirPort icon at the top of the screen to see if you can locate the name of wireless network you created and log on.
Please post back on your progress or questions.
