Hello!
posted this in the wrong forum before. figured id give here a try.
i was just wonder if theres a mini PCI card for my G6T-2000 CTO that supports 802.11ac. all i could find was an intel one but i wasnt sure if it'll work. the model numbers Intel 7260HMW IEEE 802.11AC. link below.
Intel 7260HMW IEEE 802.11AC
Thank you!

Nope. If you put that in your computer it will refuse to boot up. TMK, there is not an 802.11ac wireless card offered by HP at this point, and they will not issue BIOS for older machines allowing use of 802.11ac adapters once they do start offering them on newer machines.

With the new Time Capsule does the beam forming occur with multiple clients, and do these clients have to be 802.11ac compatible?

With the new Time Capsule 5th Gen does the beam forming occur with multiple clients, and do these clients have to be 802.11ac compatible?

does the beam forming occur with multiple clients
Yes, but Apple is unclear about how many cients can be connected simultaneously with this feature.

Airport time capsule 2TB not emitting 802.11ac to my Late 2013 MBPr

PHY Mode: 802.11n
this is displayed when I'm connected to the Airport Time Capsule from my late 2013 MacBrook Pro Retina 15"
My laptop is 802.11ac compatible however the connection to the airport seems to only connect in 802.11n
I've connected Airport to my Verizon Actiontec Mi424WR and have disabled wifi on the actiontec.
Any way I can modify the connection to connect at 802.11ac???

Please don't post in both areas.. we see posts in both..

802.11ac wifi speeds with the BCM4360 chip and broadcom-wl driver

Hello,
First, some preliminary information:
I'm currently in need of a wireless adapter for my desktop computer. I recently got an Asus RT66U router, so I'm looking for a wireless adapter that supports the 802.11ac standard. The best candidate I've come across is the Asus PCE-AC68, and PCIe based adapter that uses Broadcom's BCM4360 chip, the same wifi chip used in the Late 2013 retina Macbook Pro. It is worth noting that every available 802.11ac compatible PCIe based wireless adapter seemingly uses this chip (I've heard of people having success with 802.11ac speeds using Qualcomm Atheros based wifi adapters and the ath10k driver, but there are no Atheros-based PCIe wireless adapters on the market, as far as I can tell).
The Broadcom BCM4360 chip is not supported by the b43 driver, and I believe it also isn't supported by the brcmsmac driver, since it isn't listed here.
This leaves me with the proprietary broadcom-wl driver, which is listed as supporting the BCM4360.
What I'm interested in learning is how a wireless adapter based on the BCM4360 will perform using the broadcom-wl driver--I don't want to buy a wifi adapter that won't work at its full capacity, after all.
I have found user reports here and here from April 2014 stating that the driver runs BCM4360 based adapters in 802.11a/b/g mode and doesn't allow 802.11n and 802.11ac connections to be made. On the other hand, this user (in a post from June) states that he managed to get ac speeds in Arch simply by changing his router settings. Unfortunately, he doesn't detail what changes he made.
I'm hopeful that the driver was simply updated between April and June and that now BCM4360-based wifi adapters can run at 802.11ac speeds, but as it's closed source, I can't check the commits, and have not been able to find any discussion more recent than what I linked above.
Has anyone had success getting 802.11ac speeds with BCM4360-based wifi adapters and the broadcom-wl driver?

I am currently using the BCM4360 (rev 03) in a MacBook Pro. You are correct in that it does not work with the b43 driver. It mostly works with the proprietary wl driver. I am using the broadcom-wl AUR package. I can confirm that 802.11n works. I am connected right now at 324Mbps (3 .11n spatial streams). I have not tried 802.11ac yet. I will soon, so I will report back.
As for the caveats, it doesn't like 802.1X networks very much. To get it working using wpa_supplicant, I have to reload the wl module. Sometimes when I reload it, it comes back as wlan0 instead of wlp3s0. No idea why. Yet, when I tried it with Network Manager on an Ubuntu live environment, it worked fine. YMMV. It always works fine for me at home on a WPA2-PSK network. If I can pin down something with more consistency, I'll let you know.
For reference:
$ lspci -vnn | grep Network
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03)
According to kernel.org, BCM4360 could be either 14e4:4360 or 14e4:43a0

Time Capsule with Multiple Drive Dock (Current Gen w/ 802.11AC)

I've seen mutliple threads regarding USB hubs, but nothing regarding Hard drive docks.
I have the NexStar HX4 Quad drive bay w/ only 2 drives installed. I partitioned each drive into 500GB partitions (so 2x500GB on one, 4x500GB on the second one) and I'm having issues now with the second drive installed getting the shares to stay reliable. Problem is I don't have a Mac at my house just yet, but I'm working towards that.
What's happening is either one of the drives will drop out or oddly enough it's flipped from one port to another that was empty. I suspect these could be a result of the dock going screwy but I'm not sure. This wasn't a problem until I added my 2TB drive yesterday. I've had to power cycle the TC 4 times and the drive dock 3 times. At one point, the TC was showing the shares to my phone but it was denying access initially, so I did a reboot on my phone and no go. Rebooted the TC and dock and it came back just fine.
Has anyone else used this dock and TC combo or have they tried a multi dock solution? I'm just wanting to get this to straighten out as I do store a lot of data and the reason I chose the TC was because I liked the idea of having some storage inside the thing and I was planning on getting a Mac back then like I am now so it seemed logical.

Yes, but Apple is unclear about how many cients can be connected simultaneously with this feature.
do these clients have to be 802.11ac compatible?
Yes

HT202807 I have a MB Air 128gb and a Time Cap.802.11AC. My HD is maxed out because of 30GB of photo storage after migration to 10.3.3 Photos. Please recommend an external drive best for connecting to TC and moving the iPhoto Lib off my HD

I have a 13" mid 2011 MB Air 128gb and a Time Cap.802.11AC. My HD is maxed out because of 30GB of photo storage after migration to 10.10.3 Photos. I have reduced apps and files as much as possible so the only thing left is to move the photos. Please recommend an external drive compatible for connecting to my TC 802.11ac and moving the iPhoto Lib off my HD which will free approx 15 gbs. of space. I don't plan on using it for any other purpose so a small capacity drive will suffice. I know the "optimization" is supposed to adjust for this condition but I don't trust that assertion.I only have 2gb free space remaining.

I don't plan on using it for any other purpose so a small capacity drive will suffice.
If you really only want such a small capacity drive.. what about just buying a 32GB or 64GB USB memory stick.
You should still have a back up to the internal hard disk of the AC TC.
Or just buy a WD Passport.. don't waste your money buying 500GB as it is only a bit more to buy 1TB and a bit more again for 2TB.. For future use if you do buy a USB hard disk buy 2.5" type.. and buy 1TB or if the budget stretches 2TB..

Does ipad2 work with 802.11ac?

My present router is not working so i want to get a new one.

No.
802.11ac is backwards compatible with the N standard.
The iPad will connect to the router but at only N speeds.

HT3546 802.11ac bridge connectivity Issues

I have been unsuccessful in connecting any 802.11ac bridge, regardless of brand. This is a new airport extreme and should accept any ac compatible bridge. Manual setup also does not work. No luck connecting in a secured or unsecured network. Suggestions?

You might want to review the System Requirements for the "ac" product, as it sounds like you are trying to set up the "ac" product using an older 5.x.x version of AirPort Utility. Don't think that will work well at all.
From the Product Specifications: http://www.apple.com/airport-extreme/specs/
Setup and Administration
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3
The Apple 802.11ac products will "bridge" together just fine, whether you are using Ethernet or wireless to connect the devices togerther.
Setup is virtually automatic using AirPort Utility 6.3 on a Mac, or the utility on an iOS device.
An Ethernet "bridge" would probably work with another brand, but I doubt that wireless would work, as Apple uses proprietary settings to "extend a wireless network". Chances are very slim that you will be able to get Apple to work with another brand of router using wireless.

Is it best to extend a Wifi network using Airport Extreme 802.11ac or Express ?

I previously asked this question with a different emphasis here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24347878#24347878
so have re-worded to be more relevant to the subject.
I have a brand new Airport Extreme 802.11ac which I am now using as my network hub and I would like to extend the network wirelessly.
Is there a benefit to extending the network via another Airport Extreme 802.11ac versus a (cheaper) Airport Express ?
I do not have any 802.11ac clients yet, but likely will do within the expected lifespan of the routers and thus would rather buy another Extreme now if it meant extending the best signal strength.
Per my previous post i would ideally extend using my old Edimax BR-6675nD 450Mbps 2.4GHz/5GHz, however this has been problematic and some previous posts imply that mixing Apple and non-Apple routers is not recommended, if this is not correct please do let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Is there a benefit to extending the network via another Airport Extreme 802.11ac versus a (cheaper) Airport Express ?
Four possible benefits, which may or may not be benefits to you:
1) A second Extreme will extend the faster "ac" speeds of the main AirPort Extreme, while the Express will not.
2) A second Extreme uses Gigabit Ethernet ports....ten times faster than the Express....if you plan to connect devices using an Ethernet connection
3) The USB port on the AirPort Extreme will accept a hard drive while the Express will not
4) The AirPort Extreme has a much better antenna arrangement than the Express, which will provide greater coverage even if "ac" wireless is not used
On the other hand, if you do not need "ac" wireless to be extended, you only plan to use the Express to extend the wireless, and the Express will be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal, then you might save a bit of money going with an AirPort Express.
So, in questions about what would be "best", there are rarely simple answers that apply to all users. The question really is which is "best" for you. Adding another AirPort Extreme would be a no brainer for me, but perhaps not for you.
i would ideally extend using my old Edimax BR-6675nD 450Mbps 2.4GHz/5GHz, however this has been problematic and some previous posts imply that mixing Apple and non-Apple routers is not recommended
It is always the best idea to use products from the same manufactuer for the same purpose throughout the network. Obviously, an Apple AirPort Extreme will be compatible with another AirPort, while a third party device may or may not be.

Does the new ISR platform support 802.11ac APs

Hello,
Is there a Cisco WLAN controller that is compatible with the new 11ac 3700 APs that can be installed in a 3900 series ISR platform?
Thank you
James

Yes and no. And I don't know which is which.
The current way to stick a WLC into a router is using an SRE. This is basically a module which contains a hard drive and you create a VM in form of a WLC. Now the latest SRE firmware is 7.4.121.0 (release date 20 December 2013).
There are currently three models of APs with can support 802.11ac. They are the 3600*, 3700 and 2700.
Ok, here's where the "kicker" comes in.
The 3600 (notice the "*") can support 802.11ac if you purchase the 802.11ac Wave 1 Module. The 3600 is supported from firmware version 7.2.X.X but the 802.11ac Wave 1 Module requires a minimum firmware version 7.5.X.X (this version is now "deferred"). So this option doesn't work.
3700 requires a minmum of 7.6.X.X firmware and the newly-released 2700 requires a soon-to-be-released 7.6MR2 or 8.X.X.X firmware.
Now if what I've mentioned above doesn't confuse you, this next one will bewilder absolutely: Read the Release Notes for 7.6.X.X and scroll down to the Supported Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Platforms section and it's stated:
Cisco Virtual Wireless Controllers on Cisco Services-Ready Engine (SRE) or Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Module for Integrated Services Routers G2 (UCS-E)
Hence, my response of Yes and No.
I have two recommendations:
On the bottom of the Release Notes, there's a Feedback link. Use it. Put a low score (this guarantees someone will contact you quickly). When they contact you, ask them to do a proper QC on their documentation because, frankly, they've been "dropping the ball" lately.
Next, contact TAC.
Hope this helps.

Apple Extreme 802.11ac vs 802.11n

I currently have an Apple Extreme 802.11n and (3) Apple Express (802.11n as well) in three different rooms. My MacBook Air and iMac are also 802.11n devices.
I purchased an iPhone 6 which has the ability to access 802.11ac and I plan on getting new MacBook Air with 802.11ac.
I know that in order to get 802.11ac speeds, all devices must be ac compatible, but what if I have half ac and the other half, n. Will my 802.11ac devices be able to take advantage of faster speeds if I purchase the latest Apple Extreme?
Thanks!

Replace the AE with a router that does have SNMP. Relegate the AE to WAP duties. You almost have no choice.. you can route all traffic through a computer but it then simply becomes the router.
A relatively cheap router.. Netgear WNDR3800 or TP-Link WDR3600 or 4300 running a special free firmware, gargoyle will give you daily graphical reports of usage by every IP in the network. Plus you can set a quota or throttle them.
See http://www.gargoyle-router.com/
Or you can buy something out of the box for a lot more money and a lot poorer.. or a Cisco..which is great.. and you can get a degree to run it.

AirPort Extreme 802.11ac ... Will it help?

I have a MacBook Pro 13" Retina purchased a couple of months ago. With the announcement of the New AirPort Extreme being 802.11ac enabled, will it benefit me to invest in one now? Will there have to be an "adapter" for it? Will I ever be able to utilize it?

i had the same question. I have a MBP-R bought in August of 2012. I have poor wifi in the house, as soon as i carry the laptop away from the office and go into a bedroom the signal goes down fast. I have not been able to find an adapter that is AC compatible, but anyway, i bought a Time Capsule just this week from Apple. I needed a new router, new back up anyway. There is some improvement, yes. If i use the laptop in the office where the TC router is, i can get a download of 40-50 and upload of 10. If i walk into the bedroom, 60 feet away, the download goes down to 25. With my old router, i had download speeds of about 10 - 15, sometimes a bit faster. But overall, I find the TC a good bet. If you dont need the back up hard drive, just get the extreme without the back up capability, you will pay only 199 instead of 299 to apple.
Now that apple has the Air on the market with AC capability, hardware from apple with AC will not be far behind. The iMac and new laptops over the next few months are said to have the AC. So it is a safe bet that manufacturers are already planning on a Mac compatible AC adapter for laptops. You can bet that Apple will not upgrade for you your laptop with an AC chip. The reason is that the current N chip is on the mother board, and Apple is not in the business of replacing individual pieces of the board.
