How do I achieve 802.11n (5 GHz) with new TC?

I'm mainly using my new TC to stream 720p .mkv files to my PS3 using "PS3 Media Server" application. Everything is working perfectly at the moment i.e. I can stream a .mkv file (after some QT modifications) which is 6000 kbits/s and there's no sign of jerkiness.
When I open AirPort Utility and go to "Advanced" and then click on "Logs and Statistics" and then select "Wireless Clients". In the "Type" section it just says 802.11n only (2.4 GHz). Now I presume something is auto selecting this as the speed?
My Time Capsule is the dual band one and it only lets me select ranges. The fastest I can select is "802.11n (5 GHz) - 802.11n only (2.4 GHz)". I know I have to "Alt" click to bring up the extra options. I cannot just choose 802.11n (5 GHz). Is this because my IMac is to old – 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo? Does this IMac only operate at 802.11n (2.4 GHz).
I'd like to be able to look (in Advanced > Logs and Statistics > Wireless Clients > Type and see the speed is 802.11n (5 GHz). I'd like to try and stream something with a higher bit rate and feel that it will work better at 5 GHz? Is this possible with my current set up?

That is correct as you will only have options to choose modes for BOTH radios. To the left of the hyphen is the 5 GHz radio; to the right is the 2.4 GHz radio.
Is this because my IMac is to old – 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo? Does this IMac only operate at 802.11n (2.4 GHz).
No, the earliest iMac with the 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme processor was equipped with a built-in AirPort Extreme card capable of 802.11n on both radios.
Did you enable "Use wide channels" for the 5 GHz radio? (ref: AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless > Wireless Options > Use wide channels)

Hi mshields1162,
Great question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
First, you may want to choose to have the sidebar displayed for familiarity:
iTunes 11: Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
Afterwards, your device should be displayed if connected:
We'll want to click on it, and choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
Afterwards, you'll have the option to sync either the entire music library (for your first iPod), or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" (for the secondary device). Upon selecting this option, four larger option boxes will appear allowing you to pick and choose what content will be synced. For audiobooks, you may need to do the above in the "Books" section. For a visual instruction on how to do this, see the following:

Imac 17" 1.83ghz - OK, it's incompatible, but how can you use 802.11n???!

The Imac Intel G5 17" 1.83ghz does not work with airport extreme's draft 802.11n, for whatever reason. What are the ways to make it compatible? Currently using it on 802.11g but I do want to use the 802.11n.....
Any ideas?
Many thanks.

The Imac Intel G5...
Intel and G5 are 2 completely different things. You do not have a G5 you have an Intel-based iMac. It either has the "Core Duo" processor or "Core 2 Duo" processor.
You should take a look at some of the USB solutions offered by QuickerTek.

802.11n only MBP connects new MP not

When I set the Airport Extreme Base Station to 802.11n only (5GHz) then my MacBookPro (2009) does connect wirelessly, as do the other Airports in the chain. But my brandnew MacPro (mid 2010) does not. Is it possible this one works on 2.4 GHz only and does not recognize the 5 GHz band?
I read something about some Airports being dual band. How can I find out if mine fall in that category?

Something strange seems to happen here. First time I changed to 5 GHz the other AX's in the chain reconnected. But the MacPro did not, even when trying to reconnect with network Name and Password. Then, changing the network from a closed network (Name has to be known) to one that can be seen, suddenly the MacPro did connect to the Airport network. Is there an issue with networks in closed status? (Wireless>>Wireless Network Options>>Create a closed network).

Airport Extreme 802.11n and WDS with 802.11g express

I have an 802.11n Airport Extreme that I have been using with my AppleTV. I have it set to allow for 802.11b/g, since I have an old Powerbook Titanium that cannot be upgraded.
I recently decided to add my Airport Express 802.11g to the mix to act as a bridge for a remote, wired computer. I did this by enabling WDS on the Extreme/Express.
My question is this: by enabling WDS on the extreme, will the AppleTV still be able to connect at 802.11n speeds, or does it get pulled back to 11g? Is there any way to verify/check this on either the Extreme or the AppleTV?
Thanks,
keith

You can check the connection speed of each wireless client attached to a base station using Airport Utility. Launch Airport Utility, click on the Airport button in the toolbar. On the Summary tab you'll see an item called Wireless clients. It shows you how many wireless client devices are connected to that base station.
Click on the words Wireless Clients and you'll get a graph and a list. The graph shows the signal strength of each client. The list shows the client's wireless MAC, the signal and noise levels and the rate at which each device is communicating. On my Extreme-n base stations, I regularly see rates from 1 to 130 and everything inbetween. It looks like each device runs at it's best rate based on signal strength and error rate.
Assuming you know the MAC of your Apple TV (it's on the serial number label) you can see what wireless data rate it's getting this way.
The thing I've noticed is that my Extreme-g base stations seem to connect to clients at higher average rates than my Extreme-n units. In other words, on the g units I'll see more clients at 54 (the max) or 48 and on the n units just a couple will connect at 130 or 54 but most are at lower rates like 27 or 11 (even 2 or 1), even when they are in the same room as the base station.
I find that very odd and would like to understand it. Anybody have any ideas?

Apple Airport 802-11n connection problems with Windows 7

I'm basically a MAC user, but my son is trying to get his Windows 7 Toshiba laptop to connect to my Apple 802-11n wifi. It will see the wifi, but when clicked on my network the connection fails before I get to input the password. Yet neighborhood 802-11n connections get to the password screen. The lap[top is a Toshibe satellite L755-S5107 running Windows 7.
I'm not very savvy on PCs, so I don't know where to look for versions of his software et al.
Anyone familiar with such problems?

Toshiba may be doing something different than other manufacturers, so your best bet might be a Toshiba support site.
Official Toshiba Support | Toshiba
Another source that may of some help is the Windows troubleshooting guide for WiFi connections:
Wired and wireless network connection problems in Windows ...
Not sure how much more help that we can provide on an Apple support site for Apple wireless routers.

Is the 802.11n download compatable with my Mac Book Pro?

I have a Mac Book Pro with a core duo processor. I was wondering if I could purchas the $2.00 download and make my computer 802.11n compatable. I dont know if I need to get anything new, say a different airport card, or if I can just download the "new" software.

You'd need a new Airport card or ExpressCard for 802.11n. But if you just want it for Internet, don't bother, only for local file transfer, e.g. Time Capsule.

Airport Extreme 802.11n connectivity issues with Windows Vista

I recently purchased the 802.11n airport exterme base station and set it up using my MacBook Pro laptop. During the configuration process I set the security to be WEP enabled since there are other computers on my network, one of which has only an 802.11b wifi card, that can only accept WEP security protocol. The set up worked great and I was surfing on the internet with my Mac in no time.
When I go to connect to the 802.11n extreme base station with my Windows Vista desktop PC, I cannot get any type of connection. I re-entered the Network SSID to match that on the AE base station and re-entered the WEP enabled password.
Is there a compatibility issue between the Airport Extreme Base Station and Windows Vista? I realize that the base station works on XP based PCs but not sure why it could not work on a Vista machine. Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1.83Ghz Intel Core Duo

Upon further review I determined the flaw with my earlier attempts to set up the airport exterme base station with my winodws vista desktop pc. I realized that I should not use a WEP key but rather a WPA key since the wireless adpater connected to my desktop is a wireless G enabled adapter that can handles WPA and WPA2 security.
Therefore, no issues with Vista and the airport extreme base station. Works great.

Having both 802.11g and 802.11n devices on a new dual-band AEBS

Although I don't own a dual-band AEBS yet, I'm thinking I might be in the market for one. I just moved into a new apartment complex where the 2.4GHz frequency is saturated with over 30 wireless networks in range of my unit. I'm thinking that the 5GHz frequency would be much less crowded, and am thus considering getting a dual-band AEBS.
I have the following equipment on my home network:
1 Power Mac G5 (uses wired ethernet)
2 MacBooks (use 802.11n)
1 iPhone (uses 802.11g)
1 PlayStation 3 (uses 802.11g)
My question is (and I keep finding conflicting information on this topic) will the iPhone and the PS3 slow down the MacBooks from 802.11n speed to 802.11g speed when they are connected to the dual-band AEBS? If so, can this be avoided by running 2 routers with two separate SSIDs (one in 802.11n only mode, and the other in 802.11g only mode)?
Sorry if this is a repeat question, but the fine print on Apple's product page says that the dual-band AEBS will be slowed down when a 802.11g device joins, but I have heard people say otherwise elsewhere.
Thanks.

So with the new dual-band AEBS, it is possible to create two different SSIDs (one 5GHz 802.11n and one 2.4GHz 802.11g) and have those two networks seamlessly joined for file/printer sharing as well as both run at their maximum speeds.
To the best of my knowledge, being that I just got one a few days ago and haven't "experimented" fully yet, I believe the answer is yes to all counts. I'm sure if others have had the opportunity to check out all of the features that this new model has to offer, they will certainly chime in.

Wireless 802.11n on macbook with Leoopard

I m using Macbook core 2 duo, 2.0ghz and 1G Ram, with installed Leopard, i do have a problem on installing the 802.11n enabler that i purchase in apple through online, previously as i was using Tiger, no problem when installing it , but after changed to Mac OS X Leopard, the setup did say that it is not compatible with smth... so any brilliant idea from u all ?? thx for helping me yea...

Leopard has the enabler built-in.
Now, whether Leopard works reliably in 802.11n mode is another matter that is being discussed in dozens of threads on this board.

AEBS(802.11n) and WDS with Express or Extreme

This problem is making me doubt my sanity.
I have an Extreme Basestation and and Express and a new AEBSn.
I previoulsy set up the Extreme as the WDS master and the Express as a Relay.
Now the AEBSn is the master and I can NOT get either of the other two Apple routers to connect and function as WDS Relay stations or WDS Remote stations. I have attempted both using manual configuration following exactly the same steps I did with the Extreme/Express combination.
But it will not work. Neither the Extreme nor the Express will connect to the AEBSn. I do note that the AEBSn does not have a WDS page or tab in Airport Utility but I did select "Allow this network to be extended" and I selected Create a wireless network.
Does anyone know how to make this work? Does it work?
Thanks for any suggestions.

.. the automated system, i'm assuming that you mean selecting next, next next.
Correct - except the word on my Airport Utility is "Continue"
then after the first reboot and the configuration is loaded, go into manual and select "Allow this network to be extended",
Correct - and be sure to turn off Access Control and turn off "Create a closed network". Once you have both basestations configured and working, you can go back in manually and set those options if you need those two extra levels of security.
..it tells me that it can't find any networks to connect to!!
Always make sure you have updated the software and the firmware for both basestations and for your computers. There have been several Airport connect bug and fixes, both to the basestations and to the Airport cards in the computers. And make sure you have the lastest version of the Airport Utility.
(When I first loaded 10.4.10 I screwed up all my wireless connections. I had to go back, reinstall the OS and use the Combo updater to update to 10.4.9 before my wireless would work. Later, on these forums, I learned that the 10.4.10 update had some issues in the first release. About two months after the initial release, I updated to 10.4.10 - using the Combo, NOT Delta - updater and finally had reliable wireless connections.)
Once other note: I have done a LOT of work on my neighbor's LAN. I finally figured out that their ISP's modem had NATs and DHCP running on the modem. I could not make their network work until I turned off NATs and DHCP on the LAN router (bridge mode). Make sure you do not have DHCP/NATs conflicts with your ISP's modem.
Leave the second device unplugged until you have the first basesetation configured and you can connect to it wirelessly. Disconnect your Ethernet cables to make sure there are no conflicting IP addresses or host names.
Once you have connected to the first basestation, then open Airport Utility and wait for the second device to come up.
Do not double click on the second basestation. Just click it once to select it then click "Continue" . Read all of the options carefully. I do not remember the exact language but one option is to connect to or expand and existing network. Once you get to that point, it is fairly simple.
Good luck! Let me know if it works.

Ipad and Iphones (w/ iOS 6) 802.11n AP's with TSPEC video enable

Does not work with Enterprise 11n AP's wth TSPEC (admission control) enabled.
If TSPEC is disabled, it connects and work OK. Any experiences or thoughts??.

We have Cisco branded 1142's and have noticed the same thing. It seems to be the combination. If we disable N radio....things work. Or, disable admission control and it will start working. iphone 4 on ios6 and iphone 5 on ios6 behave the same way. iphone 4 on ios 5.1.1 works.

No chance for a Firmware Update for my AirPort Express 802.11n (1st Generation) with The AirPort app in my ipad 4. can anybody help me?

Hi Folks,
I wanted to re-activate my First Generation AirPort Express to Stream Music in another room. Unfortunatelly i cant Update The Firmware of the first gen airport express with my AirPort App on The ipad 4.
For my online Access i use The AirPort Express newset Generation Woche Works pretty well.
What can i do to use The Old AirPort Express for AirTunes purposes only?
Thanks in advance for your advices,
Daniel

when im searchin for available wifi connections in my house, there is a "AirPort Express e55137" Hardware. When i click on it it sais, i cant configure the Base Station with the Software on the ipad
This tells me that you do not have a 1st Gen AirPort Express. If you did, you would be able to configure the Express with the iPad.
If you have AirPort Utility 5.6 or AirPort Utility 5.6.1 on your MacBook, you can configure the Express using the MacBook.
If you have AirPort Utility 6.x on your MacBook, then you will not be able to configure the Express unless you try a workaround to install an older version of AirPort Utility on your MacBook.
