That's correct, this is why I posted the link to a service guide for the laptop. The card is listed in the manual so no BIOS modding is necessary. There are 2 compatible adapters but Intel is better than Broadcom..

Getting xbox to see the 5ghz band

I just upgraded to a wrt400n router so that I could try to avoid the bottleneck that I was getting using an older linksys g router. I'd like to direct the xbox only to the 5ghz band and just run the laptops on the 2.4 band, but at the moment the xbox is only "seeing" the 2.4 network id. The xbox wireless adapter supports both bands. I went to the 1-800 number for Cisco but they were no help at all. Xbox was no help either. any ideas?

the paperwork for the adaptors on both my son's and my husband's x-boxes says that they work on 5ghz and 2.5 ghz. My son's x-box, which is fairly close to the router, now recognizes and operates on the 5 ghz band. I don't know why it started working, I didn't do anything to the settings. My husband's x-box, which is farther from the router, sometimes sees the 5ghz band, but won't connect on it; at a guess, I'd say it's dropping the signal. I have the fastest service roadrunner provides. Is this an issue with the roadrunner service, do you think, or is it more likely something to do with the distance between my husband's x-box and the router? Is the 2.4 ghz better at greater distances?

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I cannot connect to my Airport Extreme on the 5GHz band (2.4GHz works fine)...what's going on?

I have been having intermittent/no wireless success on the 5GHz band of my Airport Extreme. I'm on an iMac early 2008. It was working fine before upgrading to Mountain Lion. I have tried many things (deleting the wireless network, readding it, changing settings on the AirPort Extreme, deleting the 5GHz network on that and readding it, running diagnostics) but nothing has fixed it. I can switch to the 2.4GHz band and it works flawlessly. This must be a software problem since it only started happening when I upgraded the OS.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

No it isn't, I have tried 4 different mountain lion machines connected to a 5Ghz and it works just fine. It is with your machine hence we need to fix it
create a new location and see if that fixes your issue, If not trash Macintosh HD/Library/System Configuration
That is a folder so trash it > restart the computer > create a new location

Does the iPhone 4S support the 5GHz band?

While the iPhone 4 supported 803.11(n), it did so only on the 2.4GHz band. I can't find any information about this for the 4S. Does anyone know if it supports the 5Ghz band?
Sorry....I asked too quickly. The answer is NO. See http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html

No, it does not state that.
The 4S does not have the 5GHz radio.

Wrt610N please help ps3 remote play and also nothing sees the 5ghz band

I have finaly hooked everything up last night. I have everyything on mac filter and static IP address. Questions is though I would like to have my laptop D-link extreme N adapter and my ps3 on the 5ghz band. Can I do this... cause Im looking in the settings and it says Mixed,, N only, A only.... I thought it could do G also.... PLease explain there...I cant even get my laptop adapt to see the 5ghz band! Weird.... Also Im trying to get my ps3 on the best connection possible.. I would like to also have remote play through the net. Heres my problem... I enable it on the ps3 turn off the system.....and about 1 or 2 minutes it turns on by itself... IT does this quiete frequently... Again I have a wrt610N dual band wireless router. I thought I read somewhere if you change the broadcast channel it will help with the remote play..so I placed it on channel 11 and also placed the ps3 in the dmz... I am away from my home so I will try more out later...I woudl like to take the ps3 out of dmz if possible... I have unup enabled. THanks!!

Beside doing DMZ for your PS3, you better Open the Ports for your PS3 on your Linksys Router. TCP Ports: 10070 - 10080, UDP Ports: 50000 ,UDP Ports: 6000-7000, 10070. This will solve your Problem.

Printer will not print things from the 5GHZ Band.

Hi. So, I have a printer. It is on the 2.4Ghz band and it does not support the 5Ghz band. So I have a problem here, whenever I have a device conected to the 5Ghz band and print, it won't. However, if I am on the 2.4Ghz band it prints.
I don't know why it don't work. The IP Address software says it can find it, but it still won't print!
I recently changed my HomeHub SSID, so I had to reconnect all my devices. And it still don't print. I have currently, the Home Hub 4.
Also, I am looking ao ordering the BT dual-band dongle sepratley, will it still fit through the letter box?...The packaging?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I found I needed to reconfigure my Wireless so the SSID's for the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz did not use the same name
ie I appended a 2 to the 2.4Ghz wireless SSID and a 5 to the 5Ghz one
This was because some dual band devices would occasionally hope between both occasionally causing disconnections
Separating the SSID made it nice and easy to see which I was using and when and resolved all my issues, especially as I could tie key devices to 5Ghz, and not so key ones to 2.4Ghz by not defining the other SSID on them to autoconnect
I don't know if this solution will help for your issue, but it helped with mine

My husband has a iphone, now i have one to. We want to work with the same calendar, but i want to play in the game center with my own name... how can i do that? and still use the same calendar

My husband has a iphone 4 8Gb, now i have one to. We want to manage our calendar with icloud. We use the apple id that my husband made, but i want to play in the game center with my one name and games. How can i do that?

Sounds like you encrypted your iPhone backup, & if so it's asking for the encrypted backup password. Do you have a company Exchange account on your phone?

I want to know if the Macbook Pro with the ash key board and as the cd rom infront is more recent than the one with the black key board and as the cd rom on the side.

Hi Tracy,
I'm guessing "ash" is the silver colored keyboard, the same color as the rest of the MBP? If so, that machine, with the optical drive slot on the front, is the older machine.

When I'm travelling I import photos onto my laptop's external hard drive and work on the images using virtual copies to develop them. When I get home, I want to import all the photos together with the developed virtual copies fromt the laptop's external HD into LR5 on my PC desktop. But if I use the import button in LR I only get the original photo, not the developed copies. What am I doing wrong?

Since your current editing workflow is based around Virtual Copies there are no actual files containing the edit data. Therefore, you'll need to use the 'Import from another catalog' option ( see File menu).

I changed the channel on my Belkin Wireless router now my ipod touch 1G can't find my wifi network?

A few hours ago I changed the channel on my Belkin Wireless router for the 1st time. It was either on auto, or channel 6 before, i'm not sure, but I changed it to 11, and now my ipod touch 1G can't find my wifi network. I tried changing it to 6, but nothing, and I also can't go back to auto. Can someone please help. I've already searched for the network, and it says "Cant find network". I've also restarted my router. I also added the MAC address, still nothing. Other than those things, I havent touched anything else. My ipod could connect before just find. My Wifi is not disabled, and it's not on private. I can connect with other wifi's fine. And I can connect to other networks with my ipod, I also held down the button on top, and the home button for 10 seconds to restart and nothing. I also reset my network settings. Please help!

Find the documentation for your router and look up "Reset to Factory Defaults." This process will put the router back to the way it was when you bought it.

I have a iMac with a built in airport extreme card. Does the imac act as a wireless router so that I can connect to the internet from my iPad by tethering through my iMac?

Depends which iMac exactly and your network setup, you can go into System Preferences and under the Sharing pane you can enable internet sharing from ethernet (or whereever you get your internet from) to Wi-Fi.

IH5: Does the iH5 come with a wireless remote?

Does the iH5 come with a wireless remote?

So I am planning on buying the new version of the iHome and I have looked on websites such as bestbuy, target, costco, and walmart to try to get a feel of what the iHome is like and look at all the negatives and positives of it. On all the websites it says that it does not include a remote but yet other people say that it does. Can someone fill me in on if it does or doesn't come with a remote??

Disable BT-WiFi operating on the 5Ghz Band.

With the Home Hub 4, 2 further SSID's are broadcasted. They are:
BTWifi
BTWifi-with-FON
Both of these SSID's provide the same service. I am assuming BT done the "with-FON" to show they have partnered with FON or some other reason.
For me. I think it should be disabled on the 5Ghz. Firstly, the user won't have a significant speed increase, due to it being limited on BTWifi anyway. It also has limited range as well. So it may not reach the user. Also when it does broadcast the BTWifi it should only broadcast one, BTWifi or BTWifi-with-FON. Which ever they want.

How to use the time capsule with my existing router?

Here is my situation. I have Alltel PCD UM185 USB modem for their mobile broadband internet. I have a Cradlepoint MBR1000 router which I plug the usb modem into to share the internet through a wireless network which has WPA security on it. I want to use my 1TB time capsule to backup the computers in my house wirelessly and not as a router. What connection do I need to make and how to do I setup the time capsule this way? I can't figure it out. Thanks for any help in advance. If you need more information just ask.
Thanks,
John

Steven's solution will work just fine if you want to connect the Time Capsule using ethernet.
You might also consider configuring the the Time Capsule to "Join" the wireless network. In this type of configuration, backups would occur only over wireless and you could locate the Time Capsule virtually anywhere it can receive a good, strong wireless connection. Important Note...the ethernet ports on the Time Capsule are not enabled in this type of configuration, so you will not be able to connect using ethernet.
Open AirPort Utility and click Continue
Then select the option to "Join a wireless network" and follow the prompts

Is the apple time capsule a wireless router

is the apple time capsule a wireless router

Yes, it's a 802.11 a/b/g/n (pretty much all the popular wireless standards). If you get the latest generation, it will also give you TWO wireless networks - the main one for you and a guest network. It has dual bands so that your guests can connect outside of your network.
It also has 4 Ethernet ports on the back to connect non-wireless devices.
