My power mac g4 with wireless card 801.11b cannot log into new AirPort Extreme 801.11ac network

everything worked until I upgraded to airport extreme. I used all same settings as with previous extreme al other items logged in to new network, but would not accept power mac. Apple wireless card 801.11b may not be able to communicate with AC standard. Can anyone suggest an upgrade card or means of getting the power mac on the wireless network to communicate with various wireless printers

Hello!
I have noticed that some manufacturers (Linksys and possibly D-LINK) only accept upper-case WEP keys only.
This drove me nuts when trying to integrate a Linksys PC PCMCIA card into my old "g" network.
As far as using WEP, it's bad and broken; but I understand that your choice of security is limited to the devices that you are trying to network.
For what it's worth, I have my network set up with the AEBS 'n' connected to my Cable Modem, with one of the ports going to a gigabit switch for my wired network. I then have two AirTunes set up as WDS extensions for music & Internet delivery to two separate areas. The AEBS 'n" serves up DHCP and routing for the entire network.
It works quite well; I get 54 mbits/sec for the two WDS AirTunes, and 145 mbits/sec to one of my ATV's. My gigabit wired machines see data rates of 15-27 MBytes/sec (depending on the type of transfer).
Good luck!

    By searching with the "Find my iPhone" system, the device is OFFLINE and does not appear on the map.
    I have already written to the lost property office of the Linate Airport but at the moment they do noto have yet responded.
    I have already forwarded the complaint to the police.
    How can I find out it if my iPhone 5 is offline?

  • I just purchased a new airport extreme 802.11ac I set it up and runs fine when i put my mac to sleep i come back and it can not find my airport i have to restart

    I PURCHASED THE NEW AIRPORT EXTREME 802.11AC I SET IT UP AFTER I PUT MY MAC TO SLEEP I COME BACK AND IT SAYS CAN NOT FIND AIRPORT EXTREME I HAVE TO RESTART AND IT FINDS IT.

    Try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
    1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
    Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
    1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
    Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
    In the windows on the left side: Select login for Keychains and "All Items" for Category.
    Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
    1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
    Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
    Restart or log out then back in.
    2. Move System Configuration Files
    (Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
    Go to /Library/Preferences
    Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
    Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

  • Using a new Airport Extreme with FIOS

    I am contemplating the purchase of an Airport Extreme Router to use with Verizon FIOS. I want to take advantage of the new Airport Extreme 802.11ac for use with planned future Apple Product purchases such as a MacBook Air along with the inevitable upgrades to other products such as Apple TV of which I already have the 3rd Generation and will definitely purchase the next if it is higher speed compatible.  I just upgraded my internet service to 50/25Mbps and the current router is a speed bottle neck. While my speeds are almost 60 Mbps download and over 30Mbps upload with a LAN connection to the router/modem, my download speed only increased to just over 21 Mbps from the former 15Mbps using WiFi. I have read articles on using the AirPort “bridge” setting etc but my question is will I be able to connect AirPort Exteme 802.11ac to my Verizon modem/router and take full advantage of the faster internet speeds when using 802.11ac compatible equipment. I do not wish to change from COAX to Ethernet at the Optical Network terminal and use AirPort's modem as it would be too much hassle dealing with Verizon.

    You would connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the FIOS modem to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme.
    AirPort Utility will pretty much walk you through the installation with guided steps.
    In general, you will configure the AirPort Extreme to "create a wireless network", name the network, assign a password, etc.  The wireless security will be set at WPA2 Personal, which is the most secure setting for home use.
    As a final step, the AirPort would be configured to operate in Bridge Mode, since you already have another router "upstream" on the network.
    You can connect wired devices to either the FIOS modem/router or the AirPort Extreme. If you turn off the wireless function on the FIOS modem/router, all of your wireless devices will connect to the network generated by the AirPort Exteme. The signal will be passed on to the FIOS modem/router through the wired Ethernet connection.

  • Static IP-ed server with Airport Extreme 802.11ac

    Howdy, y'all, In support of an app for remote users, we wanna expose a Win server using a static IP from our cable provider. The ISP has provided us with the static IPs, DNS IPs and a gateway IP. At the moment, the Win server is on a subnet routed by our new Airport Extreme 802.11ac receiving a reserved IP. If I configure the Win server with the static IP settings from the ISP, there's no Internet connectivity because the gateway IP is a different subnet. When I connect the Win server directly to the cable modem and bypass the Airport Extreme, the Win server has Internet connectivity. I suspect that I'll hafta use a separate switch between the cable modem and the Airport Extreme for the Win server. I think that we'll then have departmental Wi-Fi routed by the Airport Extreme. Any other suggestions? Thanks much.

    Do you only have a single IP??
    If so you cannot give that IP to the win server.. then you have no other network connection.. or internet from other clients.
    But you can simply put the Win server with a static LAN ip set via dhcp reservations and then set the win server as the default host.. all packet incoming to the public IP are then passed to the Win Server.
    DHCP reservation on the network tab of the airport utility.
    Default host is under Network options.
    You will still use the AE as main router and set wan to either dhcp which should work fine or the static IP.

    The Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper, or similar software. For best results, place the second drive inside the computer or in a FireWire enclosure and boot the computer from it before removing the internal drive.

  • Can't install Leopard 10.5.6 onto Power Mac G5 with Mac OS 10.2.7

         I have a Power Mac G5 with Mac OS 10.2.7 and can't seem to install Leopard 10.5.6. Every time i try to install it it either says that it can not validate the contents of the Base System package or could not validate the contents of the Xll User package. If i could get suggestions on what i can try to install Leopard on to my mac G5.

    Make sure it is a retail disc, as indicated here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2275 Make sure you understand the difference between Archive and Install and Upgrade and install here, and erase and install: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2209 Make sure your data is backed up before you proceed: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992 Decide if you need access to Classic before you proceed, as it is gone with 10.5.

  • Mac PRo with raid card shipped with drive not suitable for raid?

    Hi all,
    I ordered a Mac Pro with raid card and a 1TB hard drive. The drive which came in the computer was WDC WD1001FALS which is not a hard drive rated for raid usage. On Western Digital's site they suggest using WD1002FBYS.
    Is the model WD1001FALS the correct drive which Apple ships although one ordered the raid card?

    The WD 640GB Blue, and WD 1TB Black are the only drive options for the mac pro; that's what you choose.
    The RE3 (or FBYS) is not an option sold through apple. Buying the raid card, is not going to change the drive.
    On whether to use the RE3 over the Blacks, it depends on how you will be using it. From what I've heard, the Blacks are enterprise drives themselves; basically with just a less robust firmware (no TLER). If you will have the drives on 24/7 in a raid 5, then yes, RE3 will probably be better. If not, I think the black will suffice; note the blacks are GREAT drives by themselves anyway.
    The apple raid card can connect to both SATA and SAS drives internally, however most times people buying the raid card want to use it for SAS drives. There are a lot more cheaper and possibly a lot more stable options then apple's raid card if you are looking to use SATA drives.
    Check amug:

    A common problem with the apple raid card is the battery:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA849Z/B?mco=NDc1ODczNw
    Lastly about enterprise drives, truthfully I don't see the difference really. I have enterprise drives in a 8-drive raid5 config running 24/7 as a server. 2 drives died on me after about 4 months. To top it off, they died within 10 min of each other, crushing the raid to pieces. Granted they were Seagate ES.2's, it's understandable
    The boot drive of the server is a stock desktop WD drive and running 24/7. It's been running for almost 4 years straight.

  • Mac Pro with 8800 Card Availability

    On Jan 21 ETA for Mac Pro with 8800 card was 2-3 weeks. Now, on Feb 2, ( 12 days later ) ETA is still 2-3 weeks.
    Anybody heard anything more definitive?

    Why not just go out and buy the "stock" Mac Pro with the default ATI 2600XT card right now, and then just order the Nvidia 8800GT separately. Then when your 8800GT card finally arrives, sell the ATI card for $100 or so on eBay. All you will end up paying is about $70.00 more than the BTO option ($375 (including tax) for the 8800GT as a standalone option, minus $100 for selling the ATI 2600XT=$275 out of pocket cost vs. the $200 BTO option).
    That way you can have your Mac Pro right away (as I have for the last 3 weeks), and still get my 8800GT at or around the same time as yours for only a $75.00 difference.
    Having my new Mac Pro NOW is worth far more than saving $75.00. Time is $$$$$
    My standalone Nvidia 8800GT is scheduled to arrive Feb 28th (according to Apple). I already have a buyer with the 1st. generation Mac Pro that will buy my ATI 2600XT when the 8800GT arrives.
    Also, you might even have further delays with the BTO option if Nvidia has supply problems that could drag on into early to mid march if you hang with your current order.
