How do I use a Verizon PC Wireless card with my iMAC Intel Core desktop?

Help! Bought a Kyocera KPC650 Wireless PC Card for Verizon wireless internet. Works fine w/ laptop because it has a slot. How do I configure my iMAC desktop to accept this card? Is there an external USB adapter? Or do I have to get one installed internally? Which adapter works with OX 10.4?
I've seen the Quatech U132 online. Will that work? Its $192!! As is the Sewell adapter too. ($209)
Any ideas? I want to get off SBCYahoo DSL and their router because our DSL line is damaged in our complex and no one is fixing it!
Thanks in advance.

What protocol is Verizon using that is not compatible with the Airport Extreme built into your iMac? I have used Apple's Airport Extreme with a lot of different wireless routers with zero problems as all conform to either 802.11b or 802.11g standard both of which are supported by the built in Airport Extreme.

    How can I use my Dell photo 924 printer with my iMac, I have tons of ink and don't want to buy a new printer right now.

    People who need to SCAN & PRINT without a compatible driver from their manufacturer can use Apple's very basic "PRINT & SCAN" utility in System Preferences:
    Click the Apple menu ( ), and then click System Preferences .
    Click Print & Scan ( ).
    Click Scan , and then click Open Scanner .
    Click Show Details . The details of the scan display, including options to modify scan settings such as output type.Figure 2: Example of the Show Details scanning screen

  • Possible to use non-AT&T wireless card with iPad??

    Thinking of getting an iPad, however I travel frequently and after looking at the outlandish prices for international data plans, I am about ready to give up on the idea. Anyone know if it is possible to use a non-AT&T wireless card with the iPad? I'm guessing there would be a compatibility issue of some sort.

    The 3G iPad is not locked to a particular service provider. You can get a local Sim card and data plan in many countries. This article will give you some idea of what's available: http://gigaom.com/2010/05/10/ipad-data-plan-guide/

  • No ISA slot available in PC. How can I use PCI-85 Modbus Plus card with Lookout?

    My application is to communicate with two Modicon PLCs using Modicon's ModBus Plus (PCI based PCI-85) network card inside my PC, and using Lookout as an SCADA software. Since there is no ISA slot available in new PCs, I can not use Modicon's ISA-85 Modbus Plus networc card. But Lookout does not support PCI based PCI-85 card, how can I use PCI-85 card then, with Lookout? Why doesn't Lookout support it? I asked the following question from from the Modicon's representative about it:
    If I purchase Modbus Plus Driver Suite CD (SWMXDS001, 05, or 10 etc),will I be able to use Lookout SCADA software (by the way, it supports standard MB+ prtocol) for my application? If yes, can I use any version of an
    y of the ISA, PCI, or PCMCIA based MB+ card?
    His answer was:
    The Modbus Plus Driver Suite will talk to any version of card, PCMCIA, ISA, and PCI. The question now is will the SCADA package you are
    planning on using be able to talk to the Modbus Plus Driver Suite? You must contact National Instruments and ask them if they support Modbus Plus, and if
    they used the MB+ system developement kit to develop their product. Or if they wrote their own MB+ drivers, do they work with Modicon hardware?

    Hi,
    currently Lookout does not support the PCI-85 card. The only card supported for Modbus Plus is SA-85. Please see for further information:
    Where can I Find Drivers for Communicating to PLCs, RTUs, and Other Industrial Hardware?

  • Slow wireless speed with new iMac Intel- problem with 802.11g?

    There IS a problem with the new Intel Mac, I have tried both the Intel iMac and the new Intel Mac mini and they both have the same problem with slow wireless speed (or rather it variates, if I do a ping to another computer on the network the speed goes from < 1 ms up to 1000 ms and then down to < 1 ms and so on). The older mac minis, my Linux boxes and my Windows PCs don´t have that problem. I have also read reports on the net and it appears that most users experiencing this problem have wireless card firmware version 101.3 (3.120.28.3) . A possible "fix" is to change to 802.11b on the router and then it works. No speed fluctuations and a stabile network! I know it is a bad solution, I would prefer to use 802.11g and get the speed. However I think this points to a problem with the drivers regarding 802.11g. I am starting up a new thread on this and those of you with problems, please try to switch to 802.11b and if it works let us make Apple aware of this.

  • How to configure use of Ethernet and wireless simultaneously, with different Windows´s?

    Hello friends,
    My network has two Win XP-laptops connected via ethernet to a Dovado-router, and from the Dovado-router another ethernet cable to a Win 7 PC.
    The Win 7 PC connects to the internet via a D-Link wireless network to my ISP wireless router Huawei E589.
    Problem: the PC refuses to work with both ethernet and wireless at the same time.
    I use the ethernet for tranferring vast amounts of graphical data (astronomy photographs at 3-4 GB each), and I can only access the internet through the wireless. Neither XP nor 7 wizards are able to fix it. Both networks were visable in Network Center,
    now only the wireless is available. Ethernet is gone.
    What do I do, to make it work?

    Hi,
    What's your purpose? My understanding is that you want Windows 7 PC wireless use internet and wired use Lan. If I am misunderstand please point me fault.
    For the situation you can do like this:
    1) Setting for your both routers. 
    Make sure both routers have different Router IP's and SUBNETS, you should try to set the subnet of Dovado-router to 255.255.255.252(this router should be used as local Lan, not connect to internet).
    Set the subnet of D-link to 255.255.255.0
    2) Setting For the LAN adapter. 
    Under the TCP/IP properties(Lan adapter),  please assign a unique IP address (which coincides with the subnet of Dovado-router ), set the subnet to 255.255.255.252 (or whatever you set it to Dovado-router). The very important things is that
    don't assign any GATEWAY to Lan adapter, leave it blank.
    3) Setting For the WIRELESS adapter.
    Under TCP/IP properties(wireless adapter), please assign a unique IP address (that coincides with the wireless router), set the subnet to 255.255.255.0 (or whatever the default is for the wireless router), and make sure to type gateway IP address ( D-link
    IP address).
    Now you can test if they are work normally.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards.

    All ISP-provided equipment is junk. You could get a decent router and connect it to the Verizon router in bridge mode. It should cost about $ 30.

    The bill would allow consumers to use their mobile devices with any wireless carrier. It also expands the right to unlock devices from mobile phones to all wireless devices. Unlocking mobile devices would allow consumers to choose their wireless service provider and would prevent wireless providers from restricting mobile phones to operating only on certain networks.

  • Using a Verizon pcmcia card with my iMac desktop

    I purchased an iMac desktop computer last week.
    Unfortunately, the only way to access the internet in the rural area where I live is via a Verizon wireless card.
    Is there a way to use a pcmcia card with my iMac desktop? I know that there is a USB to pcmcia card adapter for PC's, but I have not seen one for the iMac.
    Or can this card somehow be creatively hooked up to a wireless network device so I can use the built in airport device to connect to it?
    Please help!!

    Verizon has an adapter that will work - U720 I believe is the model. However, any similar adapter should work. Also, most cell phones can be used as modems with the proper cable. You can purchase cables for your cell phone model from your cell provider's local outlets.

  • Using Extreme as a wireless card

    I have a G4 Dual 800 with no Airport card. I also have a UFO Airport Extreme Basestation.
    Can I connect the basestation to the G4 and use it as a wireless card to connect to my network?
    Does that make sense?

    You cannot use the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) directly as a replacement wireless adapter, but (if your wireless network is created by another AirPort) you can create a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) between them. This would allow the AEBS to wirelessly extend the wireless network of the other AirPort AND enable its LAN port to allow the G4 to access the network/Internet.
