Installing the airport extreme/bluetooth card

Are there any instructions available for installing this card in my Quad?
TIA,
Jay

Apple says
...or you can add wireless capability post purchase1 by having an Apple Authorized Service Provider or a retail Apple Store install the AirPort Extreme with Bluetooth 2.0+EDR card for you. The AirPort Extreme with Bluetooth 2.0+EDR card is not a DIY (do-it-yourself) part.
Therefore your best bet is to get it installed by an Apple Authorized Service Provider or a retail Apple Store.
I am unable to find any instructions to do it yourself.

How powerful is the Airport Extreme wifi card?

I was surprised at how many more wireless networks my friend's HP laptop was able to pick up from exactly the same spot in our flat in comparison to my iBook, and that the HP laptop had consistently stronger signals from the networks that I could connect to.
Is the Airport Extreme fairly underpowered in comparison to other wifi cards?

I used no tool - the comparison was entirely
subjective (ie the relative visual 'signal strength'
scale shown by each system's wireless network tools.
My friend's HP could consistently see 2, sometimes 3
more networks than my iBook.
The HP is also an 802.11g card.
Good, you're comparing cards that may be compared.
I am pretty sure the antenna is firmly plugged.
Good.
As a general comment - the signal to my wireless
router is strong and solid - this is not impacting on
my system use at all, but I was interested to see the
differences!
The values displayed by different softwares on different
systems can't be easily compared. Some use logarithmic
scales when others use linear ones.
Many wireless drivers display network names even when
they receive a usable signal for a few seconds.
This isn't a proof of performance in real use.
You may receive a frame out of 5 from an interfering
network, and your software may decide to display this
network name.
I advise you to perform an analysis of your wireless
neighborhood with a tool like iStumbler.
iStumbler will clearly show you if you have really
usable networks, a poor signal level network or
interfering networks.

Mac Pro - can I install the Airport Extreme card myself

Or do I need to have the store do it? I have a Mac Pro 2.66 tower and want to get wireless internet.
Thank you!

The Mac Pro wireless card is an item that is installed by an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP).

D-Link Airplus G DI-524 with Airport Extreme + Bluetooth card

Anyway, my new airport extreme card doesn't seem to jive well with my OLD microsoft wireless networking router. So I was thinking of getting the D-Link Airplus G DI-524 wireless router to replace it, as opposed to spending $200.00 on an Airport base station.

Dear Justin,
Did you end up getting this router? If so how have you found it?
Thanks,

How do I install the Airport Extreme card??

Apologies if I am just being dense. In the shop they told me to do this myself at home and follow the instructions. There were no installation instructions in the box. I eventually found something on a website (not here) for 2001 iBook models (mine is 2004). Was doing fine until the card was supposed to click smoothly into the plug thingy. It doesn't. I don't want to force it in case I damage something.
I asked them in the shop to check that this computer does take the Extreme card rather than the old one, and they said it did. Can anyone help??

lemontree, Welcome to the discussion area!
If you have the 12" iBook G4, the instructions can be found in KB 26277, iBook G4: CIP Instructions.
If you have a different iBook, visit www.apple.com/support/diy/ and choose your iBook from the drop down menu.

Which slot for the airport extreme card?

I just picked up an airport extreme card for my mac pro. I located the slot in the mac pro, but there are two on top of each other.
Question: which slot do I have to use: the upper or lower one?
Iemke

Thanks for the answer, however inserting the card was
not the difficult thing. Finding the correct wire for
the antenna was the difficult thing. A apple
certified technician helped me with that issue.
Iemke
I want to buy the mac Pro and install the airport extreme card - what is the model number of the new card (apple tech tell me it is different from the old G4 card of the same name) and which is the correct wire to attach it to?
BTW I know my way around the G4 desktop having upgraded &/or replaced everything screwed down in those
this knowledge will speed up the purchase process-thanks

Is the powermac g4 (model number m8359) compatible with the airport extreme card

It was released in 2001 and I wasn't sure if I could successfully install the airport extreme card into the computer.

Nope, sorry...

Install of airport extreme card...

I have tried to install an airport extreme card in my iMac G4, but my computer will not power up with the card installed? But it starts up fine without the card in place. Is it the card or computer? The airport extreme card I have has the atenna connection to the side (not in the middle) on the end of the card.

Hey Michele,
The airport extreme card I have has the atenna connection to the side (not in the middle) on the end of the card.
Well that sounds like an Airport Extreme Card:

Does it look like that one?
I have a iMac PowerPC G4 800mhz 17in display...purchased about 2004
That takes the original Airport card like here:

Installing an AirPort Extreme Card in a new Mac Pro 3

I am a brand new Mac convert. I just purchased a new Mac Pro 3.QX and have to install an Airport Extreme Card. I'll be damned if I can find out where it should be installed...

Ok, so this is pretty hard to explain without pictures but lets go through it step by step.
Before you ever handle the inside of your computer first make sure the computer is off and has had sufficient time to cool off. Also make sure that you have already discharged any static from your body. In addition make sure all cords are unplugged from the computer and you use all proper safety equipment.
-Lay the computer on it's side and take off the side panel.
-Connect the airport antenna wires to the antenna connectors on the card. (Make sure you connect the wires labeled "1" and "3", the other should be taped to the side.)
-Insert the card into the connector on the logic board at a slightly upward angle and then when it's in, lower the screw end of the card down.
-Install the two airport extreme card screws, replace the side of your computer, and you're done.

Is the airport extreme card incompatible with my powermac G5 dual 2 GHz?

I have installed an airport extreme card into my powermac G5 dual 2 GHz. It will only detect my router if it's in the same room and even then it has a very weak signal. Any suggestions?

You need both for it to work, but don't you have the card already?

How do I install Enabler from the Airport Extreme disk?

Recently I purchased an new Airport Extreme. One of my 3 computers is a 2 GHz Intel Core Duo iMac with 20 inch display (iMac4,1). It is running 802.11g. I wish to enable it for 802.11n. I am confused by a statement about the enabler, which is found at the following link for the AirPort Extreme 802.11n* Enabler for Mac (http://store.apple.com/us/product/D4141ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA&mco=MTA4MjgwNzI). The statement is, "Important note: The Enabler is included free with the new AirPort Extreme Base Station with 802.11n. If you purchase a new AirPort Extreme Base Station, you do not need to purchase the Enabler separately." On my iMac, the Network Utility indicates the iMac is not enabled for 802.11n. I have kept the software on the iMac up to date. Thus I assume that somewhere on the disk that came with the Airport Extreme, there is an enabler file I need to access. Where do I find this, and how do I enable the iMac for 802.11n? Thank you.
Sincerely,
Wilson

I am still a bit confused, because the information at the link I gave seems to indicate that a person with my model of computer should be able to use the AirPort Extreme 802.11n* Enabler for Mac.
1. My computer is not a 17 inch 1.83 GHZ. It is a 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo iMac with a 20 inch display (measured diagonally).
2. The web page (http://store.apple.com/us/product/D4141ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA&mco=MTA4MjgwNzI) says check "Before purchasing the 802.11n Enabler software, please check to make sure that your Mac does not already have the 802.11n enabler already installed."
3. It then shows how to use the Network Utility to see whether or not the enabler is installed ("If the section "Model: Wireless Network Adapter," if it says (802.11a/b/g/n), you already have the 802.11n enabler installed. If it says (802.11a/b/g), you do not have the 802.11n enabler installed." My computer lists "802.11a/b/g".
3. Thus I assume that all now I need to do is to install the enabler, which one then can purchase, which one then can do through the Apple Store web page.
4. My issue is that the same web page says I do not need to purchase the enabler if I have already purchased the Airport Extreme base station. ("Important note: The Enabler is included free with the new AirPort Extreme Base Station with 802.11n. If you purchase a new AirPort Extreme Base Station, you do not need to purchase the Enabler separately.")
What have I missed?

i have an imac g4 purchased Dec 2003 runnung OS 10.5.8. It runs fine with airport off, but when I turn airport on it freezes with the black page, "restart by holding power key . . ." I swapped the airport extreme card with the one in my ibook G4 (purchased same date and running same OS). No change in operation.
I am running wifi from verizon. Recently changed from mifi2200 to jetpak 4620 in a 3G location. Ibook running fine, desktop freezes. If I can boot desktop in safe mode and get airport turned off in time. then I can reboot regularly and imac runs flawlessly with no wireless.Have run disk utilities and TechTool Pro rebuild etc, but nothing has worked. How do I fine the culprit?

the power logix thing was really sad. apple changed so much after 10.4.8 that there wasn't a viable way to patch the software.
That statement is precisely why I don't believe in blindly updating the OS, especially in a non-standard machine.
We can't expect third parties to support us forever, and it is shameful to break something that works fine, except that we updated the OS....
I think that any upgrade or modification to a machine or the OS greatly increases the risk of trouble or incompatibility with current configuration and "new" system files.
After all, the component or software could only be tested as far as the current OS version when the component or software was released.
Beyond that, we are all "beta testing".
Following a beta tester protocol, and applying updates to a cloned system drive first, is a prudent way to approach updates, and not only for older, heavily modified machines.
After 10.4.8 and moreso with Leopard, the focus is primarily on Intel architecture, not PPC architecture.
Like it or not, we are all updating to the abyss of the extinction of our machines, unless we can be satisfied with the last stable version of OS that works well with our hardware and software.
I wish they would include the latest pkgs at least with software update.
Yes, having individual packages, rather than lump "OS X 10.x.x" updates would be nice.
This way, one could update as one sees fit. That is to say, for example, fix the Quicktime, but leave my Network alone, etc., etc.
In all fairness, Apple does provide for some breakdown of updates, but I believe there is much room for improvement, especially, as you point out, with regard to the core services portion of the OS.
Until then, I'll leave Software Update disabled.......

I recently installed an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in May 2013. It replaced an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in July 2007. My USB printer (Lexmark E350d) worked fine with the old Airport, but the printer won't work with the new one.

I recently installed an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in May 2013. It replaced an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in July 2007. My USB printer (Lexmark E350d) worked fine with the old Airport, but I'm having trouble with the new one. When I try to print, I get a USB Waiting message on the printer, and when I force a page to print by pressing Go on the printer, I get a page that says ERROR: syntaxerror OFFENDING COMMAND: true. . . .cvt . . . fpgm . . . x . . .lglyf . . . <..J head . . . STACK: / [ -mark- /sfnts I’ve tried shutting down the printer and disconnecting it and the Airport, but that doesn’t help. I reset the settings on the printer. I upgraded the Airport firmware and removed, reinstalled, and upgraded the Lexmark printer driver. After I upgraded the firmware and printer driver, a few pages printed correctly, but then I got the same syntax error page as before. Any suggestions for getting the printer to work correctly?

Use a powered USB hub between the AE and the printer.. the usb port does sometimes have issues.
Try deleting the printer in the Mac and reinstall it.. the change in AE can represent effectively a change of printer.. it is important to make sure that is all up to date.
Beyond that.. USB printers.. ughhh! Consider for two toners you can go and buy a proper network printer.
