Is there a way to update firmware on airport extreme card to work with "n"?

I have a airport extreme card in my G4 Powerbook and want to know if I can somehow update that card to make it compatible with the new "n" wireless standard?
Even if I can't, should I update the firmware and if so, how do I go about doing it?
Thanks!
Dan

No there is no software update that will give that card 802.11n capability.
Your PowerBook can join an 802.11n network as long as that network is configured to operate in an 802.11b/g compatible mode. You will not get the speed benefits of 802.11n since your PowerBook will be operating at 802.11g.

    You do realise that you can add Ram, if that is all that is holding you back it's not a problem.
    Tell me the exact model and age of your Mac. (The model identifier can be found by holding the option key down and clicking on the Apple Menu, select System Information (top entry) and then read the model identifier from the righthand panel (2nd entry down)

    Is there any way to get an ipod  running/ ipod  nike to work with a first generation ipod touch or ipod classic?

    We are talking about that Nike device.  We have a iPod Classic (software version 2.0.1) and an iPod touch (iOS 4.2.1, an earlier model....maybe 3 years ago).  When we plug in into the classic it says "the accessory is not supported) and when we plug it into the touch it says "no receiver required," but neither will load the nike+ running app.  I believe it said that our iPod was incompatible with this app.  Is there something we need to do to make it compatible?  Get an updated operating system or a different app? That has also happened with a few other apps. Thanks!

  • Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig)?

    Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig).
    I know (in hindsight) that I can manually export it from the Airport Utility, but ideally I would like to include it in my Time Machine backup. I had a situation where my Airport Extreme (3rd generation) just stopped working (no lights, no power). I had not exported the config file. I bought a new Airport Extreme (5th generation) and had to manually configure the new router.
    Thanks

    One option would be to use Automator and record the actions to run the AirPort Utility; save the configuration file to the desktop (or any other location you want), and then, close the utility. You can then either make this a part of your login startup programs. Time Machine then should be able to make backups.

  • My home network has an Airport Extreme w/Time Capsule as the base and then an Airport Express and a second Airport Extreme to reach different areas of the house.  Is there a way to use the second Airport Extreme for file storage on this network?

    My home network has an Airport Extreme w/Time Capsule as the base and then an Airport Express and a second Airport Extreme to reach different areas of the house.  Is there a way to use the second Airport Extreme for file storage on this network?  Network is administered through an iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.  Ideally, would like for the second Airport Extreme hard drive to appear on the list of devices in the Finder window.

    Ok.. gottcha
    The problem is network wise.. Yosemite is about equal to tin cans and string.. pathetic.
    Here is my usual set of instructions to get anything working on Yosemite.
    The best way to fix problems is a full factory reset of all the AE in the network.
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the AE.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the AE to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
    1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
    eg AEgen5 and AEwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
    Even better if the issue is more wireless use AE24ghz and AE5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense.
    2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
    3. Ensure the AE always takes the same IP address.. this is not a problem for AE which is router.. it is a problem for AE which is bridged.. you will need to set static IP in the main router by dhcp reservations or use static IP in the AE which is tricky.
    4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric..
    5. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
    6. Now mount the disk of the second AE in finder... manually.
    Use Go, Connect to Server and type in the AE ip address.
    SMB://10.0.1.2
    Where you will replace that address with the actual address. The network resource should be discovered and then it will request the password.. type that in and make sure you tick to save it in your keychain.
    There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
    Do as much as you want of the above... not all of it is necessary.. only if you want it reliable.. or as reliable as Yosemite in its current incarnation can manage.
    The most important thing is point 6.. mount the disk using direct IP address and not names.. dns in Yosemite is fatally flawed.

  • Having trouble with my Airport Utility not supporting either of my Airports Expresses or Basestation. Do i have to update Firmware of airports or is the issue with my version of Utility which i believe is the latest. Thank you.

    having trouble with my Airport Utility not supporting either of my Airports Expresses or Basestation. Do i have to update Firmware of airports or is the issue with my version of Utility which i believe is the latest. Thank you.

    AirPort Utility in Mountain Lion will not support the older versions of the AirPort Express.....model numbers A1084 and A1088. Check on the side of the Express for the model number.
    In addition, AirPort Utility in Mountain Lion will not support the older "round" or "dome" shaped versions of the AirPort Extreme.
    Can you check to see how your devices might be affected?

  • Is there a way I get can my Dell V305 printer to work with my Mac?

    I "inherited" my son's Mac Book Pro but when I tried to hook it up to our printer, Dell V305, it wouldn't work.  I tried downloading the software from the Dell site, since we don't have the disks, but it wouldn't work.  Is there a way I can get our printer to work with the Mac?

    I would start by contacting Dell's tech support to determine if the printer is compatible. They may then be able to suggest what printer driver to use on the Mac.

  • Updated Firmware on AirPort Extreme and problems ever since

    I updated my firmware on the AE-X and I have been having problems ever since. I have my MacBook Pro and two PC's on the network. Never had any problems until I updated. What gives?

    There are a number of posts reporting enough problems with this update to suggest downgrading to the previous version may be worth considering. Read the following thread to determine how to do that:

    Performing a "hard reset" might be all that's required. Try that first.

  • Is there any way to set up an Airport Extreme that had been previously used in a password protected network and the password was not provided by the seller ?

    Background -
    My original Airport Extreme Base Station failed (would not connect to the modem). I purchased a similar, if not identical base station on eBay. Unfortunately, the purchased base station apparently was used in a password protected network. For what it is worth, my son gave me a Netgear wireless router, but it leaves a lot to be desired. For one thing, I use to keep the cable modem in the basement along with the Airport base station, with a printer connected to the USB port. The Netgear device does not have a USB port and also requires that the computer (in this case, the eMac) used to set up the network be connected to one of the ethernet ports. This meant I had to move the cable modem and router into my bedroom, a very undesirable situation. It then occurred to me that the original Airport base station Wi-Fi function might still work, and tested this hypothesis and sure enough, the Wi-Fi function does indeed work I currently have both base stations powered on, with my printer connected to the original. Both base stations appear under my Network icon, but neither Airport Utility 5.4.2 or Airport Administrator Utility 4.2 see either base station. I can select the original base station as my network, connect to the printer or even my other computers, but as soon as I try to select the new one, it asks for the password. I would like to somehow reset this base station and then redefine the network name and encryption.

    I would suggest that you perform a "soft" reset on the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) that you just got from eBay. This type of reset will temporarily (5 minutes) disable both the base station and wireless security passwords so that you can access it with the AIrPort Utility to make the necessary changes.

  • Is there any way to print wirelessly using Airport Extreme with an older printer (HP Laserjet 2100 TN) - no USB connection.

    I have an older printer and currently use a Cisco wireless router with Network Magic software which allows me to leave my 30 pin printer connected to the desktop computer and share the printer with everything on the network. Does the Airport Extreme allow for this? I am just connecting one that I purchased but can only find documentation on connecting the printer via USB (which my old printer does not have). The printer is late 90's vintage, but its comercial grade and is still one of the best printers I have used so I want to keep it going for now.

    I don't really know much about anything BUT with that said, I have PCs, I have an old commerical work horse HP laser printer that works with the Airport Express as a print server through my wireless router.  But having problems with my wireless router, never my AE, now how to change from WEP to WPA etc.for a new wireless router.  Maybe I need to look into the Extreme.  Good luck
