I need 802.11n PCI card or USB adapter

Hi,
I have a G5 and Apple's AirPort Extreme Card is capped at 802.11g. Is there an alternative? Is the MAXPower 802.11n/g/b Wireless USB 2.0 Stick Adapter & Extension Cradle any good?

What PCI card to USB adapter can I use on my Satellite C

Hi
My remaining working USB port has now deceased and I am stuck as I can no longer print (more importantly the kids can't print their homework!!) From the little understanding I have found out that I can either get the mother board replaced (expensive so not an option!) or get a *card adapter with USB ports* on it that goes in the card reader at the front of the laptop??
Does anyone know exactly what I am to buy as it all looks rather complicated to me!!!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated! many thanks, Kerry.

Hi Kerry
Can you please tell us more about your Toshiba notebook?
Which model do you have exactly?
Have you tested functionality of all USB ports?
How old is your notebook?
I mean if the warranty is still valid contact nearest Toshiba service and ask for help?
Do you have new printer with WLAN inside. If yes you can print using WLAN connection.

Will USB 802.11n wireless card improve video streaming on older iBook?

On my older G4 iBook, I'm accessing the internet through the AirPort Time Capsule as my wireless router. The video on my MacBook Pro is stunning, the iBook is terrible, useless really. Would a USB 802.11n video card work better than the AirPort card in the computer?

Duane, I meant a USB wireless adapter. The general consensus is that it would improve at least marginally, but no one seems to know for sure. Simple enough to find out, just haven't gotten around to buying one yet. I'll just need to make sure I can return it if there is no improvement.

Windows 8 and Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC

Hi!
I hava a Toshiba L650 - 107 PSKI JE and I am having a problem with the my wireless network adapter on windows 8.
My network adapter is Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC and works fine on windows 7. Two days ago I formatted my hard drive and install windows 8. The problem is that for much drivers I keep installing, The wireless keep turned off. There's no way I can move the slide from off to on.
I already tried a lot of drivers from toshiba and from realtek but doesn't work.
I went to see the Network Connections (Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections) and the Ethernet is fine, I connect a cable and it is fine, but wi-fi says "Not connected".
How do I solve this problem?

Satellite L650-107 (PSK1JE-00P003EP)
Downloads here.
A computer from Portugal? (Specifications attached.)
This driver should work on Windows 8.
Realtek Wireless LAN Driver
But your problems may be more fundamental. Prior to loading Toshiba-specific programs, you probably need to install something like this.
Toshiba System Driver - Windows 8 beta
And for the function keys to work, you'll need still another Toshiba utility.

Pci card w/usb question

hey there
anyone have any idea where i could get a pci card w/usb connection
for a power mac 9600 233 running os9.1
its for a good friend of mine
any suggestions would be much appreciated
thanks

Other World Computing has several. Here's a cheap USB 1.1 card:

For a bit more you can get a USB 2 card, although you'd need to step up to OS X to take advantage of USB 2 speeds:

Or go a bit further and get a USB/FireWire combo card:

Recommended 802.11n PC-cards

Any 802.11n PC-cards/PCMCIA cards known to work with the PowerBook?

Well, nobody answered my question, so I went to Fry's Electronics and purchased the Linksys, Netgear and Dlink cardbus adapters for my Toshiba notebook PC. Fry's allows returns, no questions asked.
I have good news. All three cards work fine at 54 Mbps 802.11g speeds, connected with the Apple AEBSn. Kind of expected there.
One and only one, the Linksys WPC300N card (from Cisco) works PERFECTLY at 802.11n speeds with the AEBSn. In fact, this card performs twice as fast than any of the 802.11n Airport on MacBook Pro and Apple TV!
The Airport Utility reports the following "rates" in the Advanced - Logs and Statistics - Wireless Clients screen:
54 Mbps - Wireless-"g" clients
130 Mbps - Apple Wireless-"n" clients (MacBook Pro and Apple TV)
270 Mbps - Linksys WPC300N
I highly recommend this card for anyone wanting to get a Notebook "Windows PC" to interface with the AEBSn at maximum speeds.
Here is again a link to the spec page:
http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=LProductC2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1144763513196&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisit orWrapper&lid=1319639789B01
I also recommend to download the "newer" Windows XP (4.100.15.5) or Vista (4.102.15.56) drivers + setup available at:
http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=LCASupportC2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1166859844332&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisit orWrapper&lid=4433240888B16&displaypage=download#versiondetail
Copy the downloaded files to a CD and use the newer CD instead of the one included in the package (an older driver 4.80.9.2).
Obviously, I kept one card and returned the other two

Using a PCI card INTERNAL USB port

Hello to anyone reading this !
I've just installed a PCI card in my G5 in order to add more USB ports. When I started searching for one, i was surprised to see most had an internal port, I couldn't really see the use of that. A friend told me it can be used on PCs to plug an extension towards a free port in front of the main unit.
Considering i can't do this on my G5, I was wondering how to take advantage of this internal port and I'd like to know if I can plug my USB Bluetooth adapter, as it doens't need to be visible and it would free one of my external ports. The question is, are there some security restrictions regarding what you put INSIDE the unit? Isn't it too hot inside to leave the bluetooth key or anything else that is not designed to be inside?
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks in advance
iVince

With all the airflow in a G5, I don't think heat will be a problem, but a Bluetooth unit probably will not be useful inside a shielded metal case. The Apple Bluetooth card connects to an antenna wire that goes outside the shielded section, but I don't think there is any way to connect that wire to the USB Bluetooth module.

Downgrade an 802.11n WiFi card to either b or g

My new laptop has a built-in WiFi card. It is a Broadcom 802.11n card. The brcmsmac driver works fine. It is able to see the router the printer is on, but it is not able to see any of the other WiFi access points in the neighborhood including the WiFi provided by our apartment.
Looking around online I found that the problem is likely that the 802.11n protocol is not supposed to work with encryption other than WPA2. My printer's router is using WPA2, but the apartment's internet router is using WEP (I don't control the router - I don't get to make the choices on it).
For some reason, the brcmsmac driver is not automatically downgrading to the 802.11g connection protocol. Is there any way of forcing it to do so?

I found that iwconfig has an option for setting the modulation, but it is not supported for my card.
]# iwlist wlan0 modulation
wlan0 unknown modulation information.
I am also starting to think that my problems don't have anything to do with the connection protocol. Some of the other networks in the neighborhood are also using WPA2 encryption and my internal network card doesn't see them either.
Does anyone have any idea why I can see so few networks with my on-board wireless card?

I'm using a micro sd card inside USB adapter but it won't mount on my Macbook Air 2012

Hi everyone,
Really puzzled at the moment because I just purchased a Kingston 64GB Class 10 Micro SD card and it came with a USB adapter to plug into my mac. The problem is that it won't mount, I just get a pop up saying "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." I open up Disk Utilty and I get the following info:
Mount Point : Not mounted
Partition Type : Windows_FAT_32
Capacity : 67.11 GB (67,107,815,424 Bytes)
Everything else is blank. Does anyone know what Windows_FAT_32 is and how I can get my Micro SD card to work on my Mac? Also note that when I plug it into a Windows PC, it loads up fine and my Macbook Air is also running OSX Yosemite Dev Preview 6. Thanks and any help is greatly appreciated

Yes, you will not be signed in to update iCloud content, until you update your Apple ID on both devices. On the iPhone you will need to go into your settings>iCloud then tap your iCloud ID to sign out then sign in with your new Apple ID, on the Macbook you need to go into your system preferences then tap iClould sign out then sign in with your new Apple ID.

Att express card, novatel usb adapter, macbook

Hi -
I'm trying to set up an ATT express card (GT3.6 express card) to use with Novatel USB express card adapter for a Macbook. I can get the card to work in the express card slot of my Macbook Pro, but the Macbook (doesn't has an express card slot) is not recognizing the usb adapter. Any suggestions?
Thanks

It appears that the Novatel Express Card Adapter is meant to be used with the Novetel Express Card. I'm not sure that the AT&T Express Card will work with it.
As an alternative, several of the providers now have a USB Modem that needs no adapter. You might look into those.

Dual-Net Bluetooth+802.11G PCI Card PC54GBT

Just checking to see if anybody knows when this K8N Neo accessory will be released??
It's designed to use the orange PCI slot on the K8N Neo and provide both Bluetooth and WiFi access points with only 1 antenna and 1 slot....
Here is the only pic I could find on the Net.

Sorry I was a little slow posting the results, but the shop phil86 directed me to was prompt, and sent me back a response the next day. Sounds like a good place to deal with, however they don't sell the card by itself and shipping to the US is expensive. Has anyone found a source that sells just the dual-net card?
As promised, here is the response Gladiator Computers sent back to me ...
Unfortunately at this time this product is not sold on its own, only as a bundle with the board. I have checked this previously with MSI.
The cost of shipping to USA for the board and card is £40.00
We are unable to accept payment via any type of card, only via cleared funds, a bank transfer for the full amount in GBP Sterling.
If you have any further questions please let us know.

Ralink Wireless 802.11n LAN Card built in

I accidentally deleted my network wireless connection I was using on my Ralink Wireless Hotspot (which is built into my Windows 7 HP Pavilion Desktop). When I try to set up a new wireless connection it never finds the connection. I know it is possible
to set up a wireless connection to this computer, but now when it scans to set up a network it picks nothing up. Could it be my Ralink Wireless card or something else. Please help me set up a wireless hot spot and/or a new wireless network connection.

Install the drivers for the hardware. You'll be able to download the same from HP's website.

Belkin 802.11g PCI Card

Thought I'd let y'all know that I popped a Belkin High-Speed Mode Wireless G Desktop Network Card (F5D7001) into my 466DA. OS 10.3.9 recognized it right away and it seems to surf faster than the old Airport card. Then I sold the Airport card for more than the cost of the Belkin card. Seems like a pain-free way to get some more speed online.

that's awesome! the belkin card, does it use its own drivers or does it use the built-in airport driver?
too bad i don't have a airport card

Upgraded to USB 2.0 with pci card...works 1 out of 10 times????

Hi,
Anyone having this problem? I installed a pci card with usb 2.0
The high-speed bus is recognized in my "about this mac". However, if I hook up my ipod or any device for that matter, it doesn't recognize it. Do I just need to wait longer? When I first installed the car I did have it connect a few times. But it's very inconsistent. I'm running 10.3.9 and I'm about to upgrade to 10.4. Might this help?
Thanks in advance
Pete

What brand/model card did you install. Not all USB 2.0 PCI cards work in a Mac. Your best bet is any card with a NEC PD720100 or PD720101 chipset (xlr8yourmac results recommend the same). Read this for more feedback: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/firewire/fwusb_card_deepsleep.html
Stick with the NEC chip, and try NOT to use drivers, OS X doesn't need the drivers.
All of these Cards are NEC chipset based

I recently installed an IOGear GIC251U. Was plug & play.
If you plug your mouse imto the card, does the mouse work?

USB 2.0 on PCI card no longer supported?

Curious as to whether anyone else has experienced the same problem I had trying to update via a USB 2.0 port on a PCI card. I just updated to 1.1.1 yesterday, and while connected to a USB 2.0 port on my PCI card (my old Mac never had built-in 2.0 ports), all **** broke loose after the download was complete and ready to be installed. I've never had problems syncing via the PCI card's USB 2.0 port up to now, but during the "preparing iPhone for . . ." process, my iPhone would not respond to the installer, resulting in an error message. After repeated attempts, I switched over to a built-in USB 1.1 port and then had to do a complete restore (which took several hours), but was successful. Oddly though, after the restore, if I try to use the USB 2.0 port on the PCI card again to sync, I get an error message saying that the contents of the iPhone cannot be read, and that I'll have to restore again (even though the phone is fully functional). If I switch back to the built-in USB 1.1 port, everything is fine and I'm not asked to restore the phone. Looks like I can no longer use my USB 2.0 ports (on the PCI card), which worked fine prior to 1.1.1. I know that my weeks/months are numbered with this older Mac (doesn't appear that Leopard will be supported on this Mac), but I just wasn't planning to purchase a new Mac just yet. Perhaps Apple is now checking for "built-in" USB 2.0 during these updates and not supporting USB 2.0 via a PCI card? Would sort of make sense, given the number of users who continue to have problems just trying to get iTunes to recognize their phone (i.e., eliminate the 3rd-party PCI cards). I doubt I'll attempt another update to my iPhone with this Mac. Let me know if you've had a similar experience using a PCI card rather than "built-in" USB ports. Thanks.

Thanks everyone for the great info!
I had an issue with my wife's Powermac G4 Sawtooth and went out and got a Belkin USB 2.0 PCI card to replace the less compatible usb 2.0 pci card. It looks a card with the NEC chipset definitely does the trick.
Her iPhone now syncs pretty much perfectly on the Belkin card. Yaaay!
Of course, it doesn't help that there is another syncing issue going on right now, which kind of threw me:

But that's temporary. Thanks again!
