HPE-270F PC - need to remove wireless card. Has wires attached to top of cage. Need to discuss

Need to remove wireless card but has three wires attached and two are cttahed to top of case.
Assume they are for receiption. Instatting TV tuner and need to slot.
Any issues cutting and removeing these wires. Can send photo if needed to resolve issue

As you guessed, those are antenna wires. Don't cut them just pull them off the card, wrap each in a piece of electrical tape and push them up and out of the way. You might want wireless again someday. The connectors can be removed by turning 90 degrees and just disconnecting from the nipple on the card. I do see this is a desktop. Maybe a picture would help.

I have a 2009 Mac mini and the wireless card has never worked, would I be able to cover it with my three year extended warranty?

If you mean AppleCare, then I would believe the answer will be yes.
First make sure you have a full backup of everything on your Mac, then run, don't walk to your nearest Apple store.
Note: Due to your Mac now being in computer years, somewhat elderly, Apple may not have the require parts in stock. This will either mean you might have to leave it with them for a number of days, or maybe they will offer you a new Mac mini. While a new Mac mini (if offered) might be a welcome possibility be aware that the new Mac mini no longer has a CD/DVD drive and it comes with Mac OS X Lion and as a result might not run some of your old software.

S12 Wireless card compatibility

I noticed that S12 (nvidia) rejects other Wireless Mini PCIe cards
with error message "card not authorized".
Is there a list of cards that are accepted?
My card has a suspected defective contact. I expect that I must replace it soon.
Lenovo, please provide us with a BIOS update that is less restrictive.
Thank you.

Hi fr0ggie,
This should explain why it doesn't work. Lenovo matches the card to the antennae in the computer in order to comply with FCC regulations regarding interference.
Any replacement wireless card has to have an FRU part number and be branded for a Lenovo. A generic card won't work, even though it might be the same exact card.
If you suspect a bad contact, remove the card and gently clean the contacts with a pencil eraser.

Wireless card question

I have a wirless card that I had in my last computer. I am attempting to install in into my K8N but have noticed that the wireless card has two little groves in the prongs. On the motherboard, the PCI slots only have one little grove.
looks like this on the wireless card --- ----- ---
and like this on PCI slot --------- ---
Can I still install the wirless card, or do i need one with only one grove in the prongs? Thanks.

Ummmm - it IS a PCI card, right, and not the (very) old ISA style?
Not sure what the slots you are talking about are, but if it is a PCI card, it will go in a PCI slot.

Startup gets 'Network cable unplugged' on mini-PCI wireless card

I recently installed a Netgear DG834GT wireless router and now have an intermittent problem connecting my Tecra 9100 to it. If the 9100 has been shutdown for a while (like overnight), when I restart I always get 'Network cable unplugged' for the wireless connection. Rebooting a number of times (anything from 3 upwards) I eventually get connected to the router and all then works fine for hours. Even a quick restart at this point (i.e. once the wireless card has connected) does not cause a problem but as soon as I leave the machine shutdown for a length of time it fails again at reboot.
There are no errors in the Event log.
I am using the built in mini-PCI wireless card and have already upgraded to the latest driver.
Any ideas gratefully recieved, at the moment each morning is a 20-30 minute frustration of rebooting trying to get my connection working.
(Running Win2K Professional)

Checking other boards for help (Netgear etc.) it seems that the 'Network cable unplugged' is a common message when wireless connectivity is failing. However, to prove the point, I have disabled the other LAN card (for which I was also getting 'network cable unplugged' but as expected since it was). I still get the same issue with the wireless card, although now the reboots are slightly more predictable - it normally seems to succeed on the third reboot. I guess disabling the other card has changed the startup timing slightly and in that way made things slightly better.
Again, any other suggestions gratefully received. As this seems to be a timing issue at startup, I am suspicious that one of the other things that runs at that time is causing the problem.

Startup gets 'Network cable unplugged' on mini-PCI wireless card (again)

More info : I have found that this is time related rather than related to the number of reboots. It always fails on the first reboot after being shut down for a period of time. At this point, however long I wait the connection never comes up. However, if I wait a few minutes and then reboot, the second reboot will always successfully establish the connection.
On this basis, the problem has become slightly less annoying as I have a workaround - boot once, wait a few minutes and reboot. That being said, any information on how I can isolate this further (e.g. tracing what is running at startup) would be gratefully recieved.

Wireless Card Not working

i have a satellite l305d-s5914. when i turn on the wireless internet the light doesn't turn on and it doesn't pick up any signal. the diagnostics said it doesn't have the right drivers but another test said it did. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

The wireless card should be there, but if the drivers are not installed or the wireless antenna switch is not on, you're not going to connect wirelessly. Go to Control Panel. Click on Device Manager. Click on the icon just to the left of Network Adaptors. You should see both the wired and wireless network adaptors. No red 'X's, yellow '?' or anything on the wireless card. If the wireless card is not there, Windows is not seeing. And if there is a red 'X' , the wireless card has been disabled. And the yellow '?' means that the wrong driver was installed.
You can also disable the wireless card and turn off the wireless antenna by doing an FN-F8 key combination. The same key combination will toggle the wireless on too. With the wireless antenna switch in the on position, do the FN-F8 combination to get the wireless LED back on. Normally that LED is an orange/amber.

[SOLVED] Broadcom wireless card behaving very strangely

My wireless card has become unusable in an obscure fashion after a reboot. It may have been due to the recent kernel update, but I rebooted once after that update and the card was fine, so I'm not sure. Wireless was working without a hitch for months before this.
I have a Macbook Pro 9,1 with a Broadcom BCM4331 wireless card. I use the b43 firmware.
The firmware is being loaded on boot, but that vague "link is not ready" error appears every time the system attempts to load the firmware:

When I try to use netctl to connect to my home network, I get the same error:

If I scan for networks using iw dev wlp3s0 scan, I get no output. Here's the debug output from that if it means anything to anyone—from the docs on netlink I read it doesn't seem to show anything unusual:

If I try to use wpa-supplicant, it will say "Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant" as if it had properly made a connection, but it hasn't. Running iw dev wlp3s0 link will show that the card isn't connected to anything, and of course the internet still doesn't work.
I know it's not a hardware problem because the wireless works fine in Mac OS.
What gives? Is there a way I can investigate this further? It seems like a driver and/or kernel issue but I'm not really sure how to nail that down with confidence. I couldn't find any reports in the kernel bug tracker about this or anything, so maybe it's just me and I'm doing something wrong.
Thanks!

Yay, that worked!
I guess I really should've tried that initially, huh? Since the wiki said not to use it unless you had an unsupported wireless card, I figured I shouldn't (b43 officially supports mine). Still, considering that it's easy to install/uninstall drivers, my caution was obviously unwarranted.
Thanks for your help!

Do I need a wireless card in my PC or is the wireless router enough?

PC connects via ethernet to a wireless router. Laptop connects wirelessly. I want to run itunes off of the PC. It does not have a wireless card. Do I need one to make this work? I couldnt really get a straight answer out of tech support.

I am currently unable to connect to the Airport without the wireless card in the PC. I do have the box for iTunes enabled. It only works with the wireless card, but then it cuts out frequently.
Im trying to remove the wireless card from the equation to ensure that isnt my problem. Everything I read says i should be able to do this without a card, but it wont work.

HT201239 Remove credit card from from so verification is not needed

Remove credit card verification

Remove credit card from where ? If you are using Apple Pay, as the page that you posted from implies, then you need to have a supported credit or debit associated with it. If you have a question about using Apple Pay then you'd be better off asking in one of the Apple Pay forums on here : Apple Pay
If you mean remove it from your iTunes account (as this is the iTunes Store forum) : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support

Do I need a wireless card to use a router with my iMac or does the built in

I am having ComCast install a router at my home and they tell me I'll need a wireless card. I shouldn't need one with Airport Extreme installed should I?

Right - sort of.
You do need a wireless card to connect to a wireless router. However your Mac already has built-in wireless (almost every iMac does, only the original from 1998 didn't) so you're good to go - you don't need any extras.

Elementary question: need wireless card for old Dell

Hi, all: I need to buy a wireless card for my several-years-old Dell Precision 340 desktop, so that I can network it with my MacBook Pro and printer using AirPort Express. Can buy any old USB network adapter card branded "universal"? Any recommendations? There is no built-in wireless card. Also, I understand that I will have to reconfigure the AirPort somehow to handle both PC and Mac (I spent a long time on the phone with Support getting to work in the first place, just with the Mac notebook).
Thanks for any advice!

Hello jonnofor. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Can buy any old USB network adapter card branded "universal"? Any recommendations? There is no built-in wireless card.
Just about any 802.11b/g wireless device will work with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX). The AX is capable of up to WPA2 wireless encryption, so if this is important to you, you would want a device that is WPA or WPA2 capable as well. In addition to USB-style, the Precision 340 can also take PCI-cards. For example, Linksys offers both a USB & PCI types.
Also, I understand that I will have to reconfigure the AirPort somehow to handle both PC and Mac
There shouldn't be any required configuration changes necessary for the AX just to support both Macs and PCs. Most issues that come into play relate to using WEP for wireless encryption. You can eliminate this by using WPA or WPA2 instead.

What kind of wireless card I need for my Power Mac G5 (late 2005) Dual 2 GH

hi there,
I have for sometime now a "Power Mac G5 (late 2005) Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5", and recently I have been thinking to get an Airport extreme wireless card with a bluetooth on it, which could work on my machine.
I have already try to deal with apple representatives and Apple sales people to give me a hand on the matter and so far is been a nightmare to approach this guys, tired of wasting time and effort, so that is way I am posting a topic on this section to see if you guys could give a hand on the matter.
All what I would like to know is what kind of wireless card I need for my Power Mac G5 (late 2005) Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 (version 10.4.11) and where I could buy one on line to install myself.
This is the mac unit I have.
Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5.
Hardware Overview:
Machine Name: Power Mac G5
Machine Model: PowerMac11,2
CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (1.1)
Number Of CPUs: 2
CPU Speed: 2 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
Memory: 4.5 GB
Bus Speed: 1 GHz
Boot ROM Version: 5.2.7f1
Thanks for you time.
regards
Toyko koyko

You're welcome. Funny how Apple works isn't it? If it's any consolation, that Airport/Bluetooth card doesn't show up on the Apple U.S. store either. I don't think they ever intended it to be a user installable part, so perhaps that's why they don't offer it for sale. Do you have any Apple Authorized Service providers in your area? I'd think they'd be able to order the card as a replacement part.
Can you give a little more detail or a link to the gadget you're referring to? It sounds like a USB dongle to enable Wi-Fi, but that must be a third party solution, since I don't believe Apple ever offered something like that.

Help urgently needed please ! My Iphone 4 is on silent vibration mode, received a call and has frozen with the Iphone unusable and yet vibrating. I have tried switching off, connecting to power, connecting to laptop and removing SIM card ???

Need Advice on a Laptop Wireless Card For Arch

I have Arch running on my desktop and I'm loving it. I'm thinking about putting it on my laptop too. The problem there is that my laptop has a Broadcom wireless card that the Linux kernel doesn't recognize by default. The last time I tried to use Arch on my laptop, I had to reinstall the wireless driver every time the kernel was updated.
Is there a internal wireless mini card I can buy and put in my laptop that Arch/Linux will be able to use without compiling anything? I'll buy whatever is needed to replace my Broadcom card and make my Linux experience better if you have any recommendations.

( Wifi 108Mbps super g Wireless PC Card CardBus Atheros
Model Number: WLG-1103)
I bought one of these about 2 months ago and it works great on my two laptops. Dirt cheap (~10 bucks, no shipping) and no fidgeting involved. Just put it in the card bus thingo, turn on the laptop, it's all good. I think the drivers are in the kernel, as I don't recall installing any driver packages on either laptop at install-time, but I definitely didn't have to do anything manually. Atheros tends to work nicely in linux in my experience, and this is no exception.
