Macbook Airport Antenna Wires

I bought a replacement airport card for my Macbook because I was having so many wireless issues. The problem is that my Macbook (which I believe is a mid or late 2007 model) has 3 airport antenna wires, but the replacement card (which is dated 2006) has only 2 antenna wire connectors. Is there a wire that I can leave detached and still have the antenna function as normal? Thank you for your time.

  • Adding Airport to my MacPro (1.Gen)  - where are the airport antenna wires

    Hello everyone! I´m quite desperate.
    I just tried to install an airport card to my old Mac Pro but I just can´t find the antenna wires. I just found the BT wire but nothing else I could use to connect to the card itself!
    I took out the hds (1+2) but I still can´t find them!
    Where do I find those wires???

    Well, once more: is it possible, that there are only two wires (labeled 1 and 2) or is there a third one (labeled 3)? I have one other wire named BT that is not in use.
    I now connected #2 to the upper connector and #1 to the lower.
    Now he finds the wlan but is slow like ****!
    Could anyone help please??

  • Internal Airport Antenna

    Hey
    During my move the movers droped my g5. Lucky for me not to hard...but some wires are loose now.
    I connected them all back but now the tricky one.
    My airport antenna wire is loose. And its not the part that connects with the card itself. But its the other end, that goes inside the logic board. My question is. Does anyone know where to put it back in?because i really don't! Thanks guys!

    I figured out that there is a antenna port where the wire should be connected to. No i just figure out how...the where part is solved

  • Airport antenna -second gen iMac-G5

    I am unable to locate where the antenna wire is located on a second gen iMac-G5 -20" 2.0 Ghz M9845LL/A. There is no separate airport card in this model ?
    I am having difficulty with signal level so I thought it might be ralted to loose
    antenna connection .

    I think I have the same problem with a friends iMac G5 with ambient light sensor. 17 model. The motherboard looks nothing like the ones on the manuals. I think the airport card is part of the motherboard. So the airport card is broken, thus causing kernel panicks. You can boot in safe boot mode and it works fine since it disables airport.
    So now people who own these machines with built in cards are screwed. They can't just replace the extreme card with another one. You'll need to replace the logic board. You can't add a USB wireless card because you can't remove the built in airport card to get rid of it. So what do they do now?

  • Built in iBook Airport antenna

    Just a quick question: is it possible to connect the built-in airport antenna in the screen with a different wireless adapter, other than Airport? (I was thinking that if I extended the wire a bit and took apart a USB wireless adapter I could connect the Airport antenna to it to increase range/connectivity)

    It should be possible. You'd have to find a USB wifi adaptor with an antenna jack, and put the right connector on the internal antenna lead.
    But if you just wanted to increase range, wouldn't it be easier to add a better antenna to the Airport Card? Check out these links:

  • Hi, My network went down earlier in the week.  Now it is fine, but my macbook airport no longer detects it and keeps asking for a WAP.  When I put the password in, it 'times out'.  I'm getting rather fed up.

    Hi, My network went down earlier in the week.  Now the network is fine, I can connect through the ethernet cable, but my macbook airport no longer detects it, when prompted, macbook will find it, but I get asked for the WAP.  When I put the password in, it 'times out'.  Prior to the network problem my macbook worked fine everytime. Anyone know the answer?

    My guess is all the issues are probably related and fall back to malware.
    AVG is probably correct in identifying malware. So I suggest you try some cleaning tools other than Emsisoft .
    ones I use (all of them one after the other until I find one that can cope) are;
    Roguekiller http://www.adlice.com/softwares/roguekiller/
    Malwarebytes anti malware Free http://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/var2/confirm/
    ESET online scanner http://www.eset.com/int/home/products/online-scanner/
    So first create a clean boot in Windows using Microsoft's instructions https://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135?wa=wsignin1.0 and then run the anti malware applications.
    My outside looking in guess is that malware has set itself up as an internet proxy and is is downloading copies of itself and other malware, blocking some mail port as times as downloading more malware is more important, and probably breaking your tivo as well..
    Try the malware programs first. If that does not work I will try and talk you through some logging to see what is happening.

  • Macbook airport problems linked to battery power?

    I too have experienced the macbook/airport problem, specifically since 10.5.8 came back. When I upgraded to 10.5.8, it was so useless that I just reinstalled tiger. Then Snow leopard came out and I upgraded only to experience the same problem but not as severe.
    I have just been able to pin/point the problem today (mainly because I just grew so frustrated and spent considerable time trying to figure out). I have tried all the other potential fixes posted on here to no avail (changes airport settings, replacing card, changing dynamic IP to manual, encryption etc).
    This is what I have determined and was able to reproduce it:
    When macbook is running on power (plugged in):
    If battery power is below 60%, connection is spotty - the lower it is, the worst the problem.
    If the battery power is above 60%, no problems at all, runs fast and no drops.
    When macbook power is not plugged in and running on battery:
    Below 60% almost useless
    Above 60% spotty and worse as the battery drains
    Can anyone else test this out? I've sent Apple an e-mail.

    I've gone down to maybe 15% without any noticable difference in connection.

  • Macbook airport extreem and brother printer/scanner DCP-330C

    I have macbook airport extreem and brother printer/scanner DCP-330C and everything works fine.
    I can print wireless.
    The only thing that irritates me is, when I start my macbook I first see a screen with MFL-ProSuite, I quit then a screen with connect with USB, I quit and then I see a small blue screen.
    Is there a way to get rid of these things, so I can start directly with the things I want to do.
    Thanks for the reply.
    Frank

    That is something that has to do with the brother software. Doesn't have anything to do with the airport base station.
    I would try and Contact brother to see about disabling it.
    What I think , is probably because the printer is on the airport not the computer so brothers software is getting confused.
    See about deleting just the software and not the drivers. That is if you dont need the software.

  • Macbook airport issues fixed?

    I just ran Apple software updated and it include a fix for time machine/airport drivers.
    Tada, its all fixed...or so it seems!

    My wireless card firmware has gone from 1.3.2 to 1.3.4 but I haven't noticed any difference to performance at all. As soon as I take my MacBook more than about 15 feet from the airport I stop getting its signal, (I used to be able to take it 100 feet from the airport and get a good signal.)
    Meanwhile my iBook with 10.4 working with the same airport express can get a signal 100'+ away from it.
    If this is "the fix" for Macbook airport woes I'd say we are stuffed. I've just ordered a USB adaptor so I can at least use it when I travel at wifi hotspots.

  • How to Remove ZD7000 Antenna Wires from the Hole?

    UPDATE: The Maintenance and Service Guide mentions that the antenna wires are attached to a card; that's why I cannot simply pull them out through the hole. There may be enough slack so that, for my purposes, I won't have to disconnect the wires.
    I'm finding some issues with the step-by-step instructions that I referenced below.
    BB
    Hi,
    I'm disassembling my ZD7000 laptop to replace the DC power jack. I started following the steps at http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repairing+HP+Pavilion+​ZD7000+Motherboard/2878/1.
    Everything went well until I got to Step 14, where I'm instructed to "Disconnect the 2 wires connecting the monitor to the rest of the laptop." In the picture, the antenna wire is one of the two wires highlighted with a red box. (Although the picture is somewhat confusing, because it shows a hand touching a third wire that is not highlighted.)
    The HP Service & Maintenance Manual says, "Remove the 2 antenna cables from the hole and routing channel in the top cover." Since they are antenna wires, I assumed I could simply pull them out through the hole. However, I gave up after exerting as much pull pressure as I dared, which was a lot.
    Am I missing something? I suppose I could cut the antenna wires and resolder them during reassembly.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Bill

  • Is it manitory to have an airport antenna or can you use it without the antenna (powermac g5 dual processor 10.4.11)

    Is it manitory to have an airport antenna or can you use it without the antenna (powermac g5 dual processor 10.4.11)

    On the PowerMac G4 I had it had to be connected, but not sure about the model you have.  My guess would be yes due to shielding in the case, but would rather wait and hear from someone else.

  • G5 Airport Antenna Alternative

    Hi Guys
    I have finally managed to install an airport card, but haven't got a very good signal strength, I'm aware there is an apple antenna available, I have seen a few on ebay, but wondered if there was an alternative, i.e buy an antenna which will fit the connector? Does anyone know what type of connection it is? and if is a common enough connection and if antenna are readily available...
    Thanks for your help guys
    Darren

    I just got the AirPort card for my G5.1.6 GHz and also picked up the Apple AirPort antenna on ebay for it. Even with the original antenna on the back of the G5 I've still got very weak signal, however, I should state that my G5 is in my recording studio two floors down from my office where the other iMac with an airport extreme card is acting as a software base station.
    I did just purchase the AirPort Antenna extender that is shown as a link in the previous responders message. It looks like I just take the AirPort Antenna out of the back of the G5, then plug it into the socket on the extender which allows it to be stuck to a wall higher off the ground. The other end of the extension cable goes into the airport antenna jack on the back of the G5.
    I hope this works and I don't have to get something more powerful.
    Good luck with your quest for wireless access.
    Regards,
    John

  • MacBook Airport card: Where is it?

    My daughter's MacBook Airport has ceased to function. One of the trouble shooting recommendations is to re-seat the card but I cannot find where the card is so that I can re-seat it. Does anyone have instructions about how to get to the Airport card?

    First of all, thanks, but it does look extremely complicated and I don't think I'll try it.
    Lemon and Falk are extraordinary. My favorite Great Race scene is Boracho, although the early sequences of Professor Fate trying to top the Great Leslie are the most hilarious slapstick scenes except possibly Blake's other great character Inspector Jacques Clouseau.
    Anyway thanks for the help.
