IOS6 and Appletv 5.1 wifi working as 802.11g instead 802.11n

Both upgrades are making my devices to operate as 802.11g instead 802.11n, at my home wifi connections.
The devices which I haven't updated are still working as 802.11n.
This could be another issue in the new upgrades. I hope that a possible iOS6.0.1 fix that up!
Thanks everyone
Chris

Is anyone having the same problem?

My wifi network is 802.11n but there are times changing for 802.11g, and have to restart ... after the update for Mountain Lion

My wifi network is 802.11n but there are times changing for 802.11g, and have to restart ... after the update for Mountain Lion... Help!!!
Several problems with Mountain Lion, APP STORE (login/logout error), WIFI(802.11n for 802.11g), MAIL (horrible)... Apple, what is happening?

Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

How can I get my AE to work in 802.11n mode with my dlink router?

Hi all,
I have a dlink 655 wireless n router that I use for my network and a recent AE with 802.11n capability that I use to connect iTunes to my home stereo.
I have a mix of computers at home and only my imac has 802.11n capability. I work alone in the day so to speed things up, I change the wireless setting on my dlink router to 802.11n only mode. Normally, it is in a mixed mode of 802.11g/n for the other non n computers on the network.
My imac connects fine when in 802.11n only mode but the AE looses connection. As it is 802.11n capable, I was wondering why this happens?
I tried checking Airport Utility for a 802.11n only mode or something similar, but didn't find anything. Will the AE only work in 802.11n mode when on the 5ghz frequency? if so, that would explain why it doesn't connect with the dlink 2.4ghz router in n mode.
Any ideas?? Thanks!

Hi. Thanks for the reply. It turns out that the router was not going into n mode because of the security I set on it. I finally figured this out and the AE did connect in n mode after all.
Well at least it's working now but I feel a little bad for posting when it was my fault!!
Cheers!

Uploaded Iphone 3GS to iOS 5 and lost internet connection (WiFi works)

I uploaded my Iphone 3GS to iOS 5 and lost 3G internet connection (WiFi works). Anybody has that same problem??
I lost all my music too. What I don't get is that when my iphone is connected to Itunes, the music appears there (i even can play it), but the device doesn´t have it. I try to sync it but it doesn't work. What can I do?
Help please!!!

I went into Settings>General>Network>Cellular Data Network.and changed my APN in the 'Cellular Data' section from idata.o2.co.uk to wap.o2.co.uk.
wap.02.co.uk will not work for you, that is my provider's setting. I would contact Telcel and see what your APN settings should be, but I get the impression having read through many conversations now that the upgrade to iOS5 sometimes changes these settings.
I left the 'Visual Voicemail' and the 'MMS' settings the same and everything seems to be working ok...
Oh - and I did lose my music after. I've managed to restore my purchased by going to the iTunes store on my phone and dowloading them all again.
Good luck, hope that sorts it.

Updated to ios6 and now it won't work in the car

**** - this apple help is really not helping
i updated my iphone to the io6 and now it doesn't work in my car. Why's that? I tried another iphone with the same problem, it was just updated to io6 and now nothing works ***

No - I updated my iphone last week to ios 6 and now when I use my phone in my car to listen to my music on the iphone it says 'no directory...'. I tried another iphone, just updated, and it said the same thing - then I asked if I could use a iPod, it's the old version ios 5 and it worked fine.

PC laptop card to work with 802.11n?

I'm thinking of getting the new Extreme for my wife's Late 2006 Macbook Pro, but her sister is often on the same network with her PC laptop, an Acer Aspire 5100-5022 on which the current card is only g/b. Anyone know @ how much for an upgraded card for that, and any specific recommendations?
Thanks

I will give it a try for a second time with the installation method they suggest at Amazon. It works ok with Airport but it has a lot of issues with speed. I was with a technician at Linksys and after going through all my settings, they asked me to try with another computer. I am in the process to buy a new laptop and try it there to see where the problem lies. (he he he)
I will post an update when I try the new installation.
By the way the older adapters 802.11N can reach the 300 Mbps if the router is set in the 5Gzh/40Mhz radio band.
Many thanks for your comment and the link.

First time working with 802.11n, not working properly?

Hello,
This is the first time I use 802.11n in my network there is only one AP1141 but the clients don't connect at 802.11n rates, instead they connect at data rates as low as 11 Mbps. At the begining they connect at 144 Mbps but immidiatly it decreases to 11 or 12.
Many of our wireless clients in the company are Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN.
Any comments?
AIR-AP1141N-A-K9
AIR-WLC2106-K9
6.0.182.0
Let me know if more info needed?
Thanks

Hi George,
So you suggest to keep only WPA2/AES?
Regarding the coverage area keep in mind this is a really small 4 floor building with an AP floor floor, I installed only one AP1141 in my floor and kept the AP1131 in the other 3 floors, I might reduce the power to half since I don't need them working at full power unless I need coverage in the stairs in order to enforce roaming to IPPhones. Also, I don't want to bond channels on 2.4 because I read that as a recomendation in a Cisco's document (anyways I did not find how to do it in 2.4, wuld be a nice tip if you tell me how just in case) so 144 Mbps would be great as long as it works properly. I did not experienced these rate hoping until I enabled this AP1141.
And yes most of the clients that reported issues are Intel (engineering team, haven't checked the rest yet).
Regards!

AppleTV connected to Mac Pro by 802.11n, G5 on Ethernet can't see AppleTV

I hope someone can answer this one... In my house, I have an Apple Airport Extreme base station set up and broadcasting an open 802.11n (b and g compatible) wireless network. Connected to that network is my Mac Pro, which can see my AppleTV, and is set as its main source. Just to be clear, the AppleTV is connecting to the Airport Extreme base station, and NOT directly to my Mac Pro, by some kind of ad-hoc network.
My wife has a Power Mac G5, which is connected to the same Airport Extreme base station, via Ethernet, and it cannot see the AppleTV. I have iTunes 7.1.1 and Quicktime 7.1.5 installed, and I have iTunes set to search for AppleTV units, but no Apple TV is ever displayed by her iTunes.
I have the firewall on the PowerMac shut off, and have even tried messing with the Ethernet connection speed settings in Network System Prefs.
Has anybody else experienced anything like this? Does anybody have any good advice on how to fix it? I have done everything short of reset my AppleTV and Airport Extreme, and I really don't want to have to do that, then set my network back up.
Thanx!

So, you're saying that the AppleTV will only ever appear in the list of available AppleTV devices on the initial host copy of iTunes?!Yes, once the "host" is selected. However, according to another poster, it should appear in the list of all LAN connected platforms when you initiate the "Connect to New Itunes" action and then disappear from non-selected iTunes lists once a selection is made.
If so, how do you add additional sources.Normally as explained previously. However, this assumes your wife's connection to the LAN was properly made. Can, for instance, the TV device see her computer as a "streaming" source?
I go through the 'Connect to New iTunes' option, and the authentication number appears on my TV screen, but nothing ever indicates that my wife's Power Mac has recognized the AppleTV, or vice versa.If the device doesn't show up in her iTunes at this point, I would likely try turning off the Airport card in your Mac Pro and see if this makes a difference. (I assume here that when you say the TV is connected to your mac Pro via the Airport Extreme, you mean wirelessly and not via an ether connection between extreme and TV since anything plugged into the TV ether connector would override any wireless connection attempts. (As a double check, you can look at your Settings > Network page on the TV.) Since I only have one computer/TV combination and it is such a pain switching back and forth between wired and wireless connections, I just leave mine connected by a Cat 6 cable I already had. Basically, everyone on your LAN needs to connect wirelessly or everyone nees to connect wired since you can't mix connections to the TV. In any case, if you cannot see/connect her computer with TV when yours is "disconnected," then would concentrate efforts here as it would appear she has a network problem.

Connections dropped, DNS and server timeouts from new Lenovo with 802.11n

New Airport Extreme, works great with Windows XP machine ethernetted into it, and also with a MacBook with wireless-N.
But my brand new Lenovo T60P with wireless-N is flakey with the Airport. It connects fine with a 100% signal, using the WPA2-PSK / AES setting on the Lenovo (WPA2 Personal security in 802.11n b/g compatibility mode on the Airport). Most of the time it works quite well.
But very frequently (every five minutes?) one of two things will happen: with the signal still registering fine in the taskbar (and in the laptop's wireless "status" utility), it will become unable to locate any website, including google.com, etc., and refreshes of currently-displayed websites yield server timeouts. The browser (firefox) gives a DNS timeout message. The second thing is just your basic dropped wireless connection. It will reconnect by itself after a while.
Any advice is hugely appreciated. It ***** to "upgrade" to headaches! (Ha! the forum software doesn't like a synonym for "vaccuums". Apologies to the nuns at Apple for my potty mouth.)

What you experienced is not a surprise as 802.11n is not a standard yet and each manufacturer has developed it own "pre-n" version. Right now Apple (base station) will work with Apple (notebooks), Dlink (routers) will work with Dlink (PCMCIA cards), etc.
Lenovo is no different. You can expect 80-90% compatibility, but not 100%. To expect cross-vendor 100% compatibility, you will likely have to wait until 802.11n is "approved" and then the firmware is updated on all devices.

How can I make by MB Pro work on 802.11n wireless?

A month ago we bought a new MacBook and in conjunction with that purchase we upgraded from a Linksys 802.11g to the AirPort Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi Wireless Base Station. We wanted to have the 802.11n access for the new MacBook and for our other laptop (mine) - a MacBook Pro 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo 15" purchased in March 2006.
I just figured there would be some downloadable upgrade to take my MacBook Pro from 802.11g to 802.11n ... but that does not appear to be the case. (Boy, do I feel stupid.)
So - the question: What do i need to do to get my MacBook Pro to work fully on the 802.11n standard? Do I need something new physically installed in the laptop? Is there a downloadable upgrade or something on the CD that came with the Airport Extreme unit that I can install? Help!
I really hope I didn't buy a $200 router that I can never fully utilize - there has to be some way to upgrade from a/b/g to a/b/g/n, right?
Thanks to any and all who can provide guidance on this.
MacBook Pro 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.10) puchased in March 2006

Thanks for the tip on the upgrade. I upgraded to Airport Utility 5.1 (I had 5.0) and then did the firmware upgrade at the link you provided. So, all is installed, and I restarted the MB Pro, but my Network Utility still shows that I have only 802.11 a/b/g capability.
Do I need to take other steps? Do I need to anything like turn my cable modem or Airport Extreme unit on or off or something like that?
I am really frustrated and confused on this. Is it possible that my MB Pro that is all of 15 months old can't upgrade to 802.11n? I know that the new Inel Core 2 Duo MB Pros have the 802.11n built in. My MB Pro is the older Intel Core Duo (not "Core 2 Duo").
Anyone else have ideas? Thanks!

Will older macs ever work with 802.11n

Just wondering if the requirements for 11n is just a matter of buying a new network card or does the hardware also have to support it as well. I ask only because I have a G4 & G5 on my existing airport network. Have a MacBook Pro also on network. I would like all of them to be at the same speed if possible.

retouch4food, Welcome to the discussion area!
As you undoubtedly know from reading the "Help & Terms of Use" for this area, we are all Mac users like yourself. Therefore we have no special knowledge of future Apple plans or products. Also the discussion of future plans and products is forbidden in this discussion area.
But... based on past history... it is very doubtful that you will see any type of 802.11n upgrade for existing non-802.11n Macs. 802.11n depends on multiple antennas to perform it's magic and it would be very difficult to change built-in antennas in the existing Macs.
With all that said... if you want to give your non-802.11n capable Mac 802.11n access, the best solution will probably be an Ethernet 802.11n adapter.

What's really working in 802.11n ?

I have the new Airport Extreme Base Station and a MacBook Pro (Core Duo) with the right card in it - acc. to Apple both capable of the 802.11n protocol. And?
None of the "pure" 802.11n settings on Airport let my computer connect with the base station. It has to be left on the "802.11n (802b/g compatible)" setting.
This leaves out the menu selectable "802.11n only (2,4GHz)" and the "802.11n only (5GHz)" options.
This is such a shame because I would have preferred especially the 5GHz options combined with "...n" because the band is less common and suffers less snooping and interference. But my main question is then: do the "Extreme" devices actually deliver 802.11n? How would I know? Traffic seems no worse through my (now disconnected) old AirPort ExPress.

Hello Osmund Iversen. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I have the new Airport Extreme Base Station and a MacBook Pro (Core Duo) with the right card in it - acc. to Apple both capable of the 802.11n protocol.
If you MacBook Pro has a Core Duo processor, than according to Apple, it is NOT upgradeable to 802.11n. Only MacBook Pros with Core 2 Duo processors qualify.

I have recently updated my iPhone 4 with IOS6 and my passcode no longer works so I cannot access my phone at all. Help!

Last night I tried to update the software on my iPhone 4. It appeared to be successful and appeared to put contact info etc. back onto the phone. However, the phone seemed to stop responding properly to touch. This morning when I tried to access my phone the passcode was not working normally. At first it was still randomly letting me in (although not sure on what basis) but now it will not accept my passcode at all. Has anyone else encountered this problem? How do I solve? Thanks.

First, has your iPhone ever been hacked or jailbroken? If so, that may explain the behavior.
If not, and if you cannot get in using your passcode, try this:
