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?

  • Help.  Is the Airport Extreme Card compatible with my iMac?

    Probably stupidly simple, but I'm not sure of the answer. I've tried to get the answer online, but no luck. Can someone tell me if the airport extreme card will work with my iMac?

    Yes the AirPort Extreme card is the correct card for your iMac.

    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.......

  • 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.

    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

    I need to get an Airport Extreme Card for my for my G4, 1.25, 800 FW, MDD.
    I am unfortunatly very much on a budget. I am therefore, shopping eBay. I am seeing two different model Airport Extreme Cards which are apparently specified for my Mac. They are the A 1026 and the A 1027.
    What is the difference between the two cards.

  • Please Help: I cannot get the Airport Extreme settings right with AT&T DSL

    AT&T Motorola 2210 DSL Modem.
    I have tried both bridged on/off and different configurations on the Airport Extreme, but I cannot get online. I am out of ideas. I called AT&T tech support and because it's not one of their wireless routers, they wanted to charge me to troubleshoot, ridiculous.
    Please help

    If you find that the Double NAT setting will not allow the PS3 to connect correctly, your only other option is to change the configuration of the modem to either +PPP on the computer+ or +Bridge Mode+ and then configure the PPPoe service on the AirPort Extreme.
    I assume that you have already set the modem up using the default IP address of 192.1681.254 (I think this is it). You'll need to locate the page to change the settings and it will probably have a red warning sign on it. Either PPP on the computer or Bridge Mode will work. Update to save settings.
    Then under the Internet icon in AirPort Utility:
    Connect Using = PPPoE
    enter your user name (probably your email address with the service provider)
    enter your password
    Leave the Service Name area completely blank
    Connection = Always On
    Disconnect if Idle = Never
    Update to save settings.
    That will eliminate the Double NAT issue and the PS3 should get a clear indication. As I said, when you have the PPP connection on a device other than the modem, you may see an occasional drop and restart of your connection. That seems to be a fact of life with this type of setup.

  • How do I remove the orange ribbon connector from the airport extreme card.

    It's the last thing keeping me from intalling the new card. Does anyone know how to remove it. And why does the new one have a plastic tab sticking out next to the antenna port?

    the card inside PB G4 17" is physically different card than the retail card.
    retail card has plastic tab to pull it out of the slot of compatible models:

  • Can I use the AirPort Extreme to print with my iPhone on a non AirPrint compatible printer

    Can I used this as my new network router and make my printer work with my iPad and iPhone

    In order to print from an iPhone or iPad, your printer needs to be AirPrint compatible.  Check to see if your printer is compatible using this Apple support document:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    Simply connecting the printer to the AirPort Extreme will not make it AirPrint compatible.

  • Will airport extreme card work with my emac?

    I want to put an airport extreme card in my Emac. Please let me know if it will work in my machine. My Emac specs:
    Power PC G4
    CPU Speed: 800MHz
    L2 Cache: 256 KB
    Memory: 1Gb
    Bus Speed: 100MHz
    Purchase year: 2002 (before USB2)

    According to:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107440
    Only the eMac ATI Graphics model and USB 2 models could take Airport Extreme.
    According to:
    http://www.designedinca.com/macs/emac/may2003/800cd/
    the ATI Graphics model replaced the August 2002 to May 2003 which was also 800 Mhz.
    Thus your machine was the one before the Airport Extreme became available:
    http://www.designedinca.com/macs/emac/aug2002/800/
    So no, you can't put an Airport Extreme card in it. You can though get Airport Extreme speeds via a LAN capable WiFi access point via its 10/100 ethernet port.
    You can also buy the original Airport card from:

  • Can I use the Airport Extreme Base Station with my already existing D-Link router to increase signal strength?

    I already own a wireless router that I would like to keep. Could I use this Airport Extreme Base Station to improve that signal strangth to my room from the living room or to the basement? Would I have to hard-wire both the Base Station and my existing router? You probably have read this question more than once, and I have read some questions of this product too, but for some reason these Apple products I have some trouble with.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 2Wire and the Latest Airport Extreme Cards

    After searching the MacBook and Airport forums, I know a lot of folks out there are experiencing this. I purchased 3 MacBooks, two new White 2.0 GHz C2D and one refurbished 1.83 GHz. I can't get the new ones to log onto the 2Wire network. The refurb has no problems. A 17" PowerBook has no problems.
    The software for the refurb and one of the 2 GHz MacBooks are all up to date. Those two were set up in another location and were logged into another home network. I'm getting suspicious about the firmware loaded into the MacBook's AP cards.
    The 2.0 GHz MacBook Airport Extreme firmware version is 1.0.27p3. I don't know what the 1.83 GHz firmware version is because that one is far away with its recepient (I'll have to call him and find out). My PowerBook and G5 Airport Extreme cards both use the same version: 405.1 (3.90.34.0.p18).
    Does anyone out there know if there are any differences between the Airport firmware loaded in an older MacBook (MA254LL/A or FA254LL/A) and the current ones (MA700LL/A)? If there is, it looks like the the current models are incompatible with 2WIRE wireless networks. Apple, what did you folks tweak between the original MacBooks and the current (late 2006) ones and can we please get an Airport firmware update that either regresses back to that or fixes this issue?

    Opus_Maru, Welcome to the discussion area!
    There is no way for the user to directly affect the version of firmware being used by the AirPort Extreme card or the built in 802.11g wireless capability. The firmware is updated silently and without any notice when an AirPort Software update is applied to the Mac.
