  • New airport extreme card is not detected

    I brought a new airport extreme card and installed as instructed but my computer is not detecting it at all. Im new to using a Mac, so please can someone let me know what I'm doing wrong? If you need more info please ask.
    emac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    this is definately the correct card...
    How do you know? To identify which eMac you have, you can use KB 86325, eMac: How to locate the serial number and identify your model. Then you will be able to determine if you need the AirPort card or AirPort Extreme card.
    What kind of keyboard are you using?
    The command key probably has an Apple symbol.
    Here are some other symbols for those keys:

  • New airport extreme card in 2007 mac pro?

    I have a 2.66 mac pro which i purchased in september 2007. I talked to one lady at the mac store in Roseville, MN and she said I needed the old airport card, which she told me is model # MA688Z/A. is this true? or can i use the newer airport extreme card? the old card is hard to find and if i can use the newer card, model # M8881LL/A, that would make my life so much easier. Please advise.

    I've talked to a few more people from different mac stores, and they said that the first person i talked to basically didn't know what they were talking about. they said that the new mac pro and old mac pro both take the same airport card, model MB363Z/A. sorry for all the run-around. can anybody confirm or dis-confirm this info?

  • Does new Airport Extreme slow down when used with Airport Express?

    Maybe this is self-evident.
    If get the new Airport extreme and use an old airport express to extend it, will signal slow down to the old speed?
    Does the AE have a greater range? Perhaps I don't need the Express to extend.
    I live in NYC and there are so many signals in the air. It seems like having the additional airport helps keep me connected.
    Thanks.

    The airport express is g technology not n technology, so it will be at least as slow as your old network. Also, I'm not sure but I think the the range will be a bit longer than with the old g system, but does not have the full potential of an n system.
    I've set up my new system but none of my machines are n capable. I extended the system using my old expresses. The speed of the system is no greater than what it was before the n.
    I bought the system to upgrade my technology because everytime my Applecare runs out, I get a new computer which isn't too far down the road. I've purchased an Apple TV which will also work better with the n technology when I upgrade. It's either buy it now or buy it later. I'm also hoping that some third party like Belkin will develop a PCIX card to provide n technology to those of my computers that aren't currently n capable. I'm sure there is many like me out there.

  • Setup Problems with New AirPort Extreme and Dell Desktop XP with ethernet

    I have a Dell desktop computer at home with a cisco cable modem connected to Comcast. I am trying to setup a new wireless network using new AirPort extreme so that new iPad can use wireless.
    Connections seem to work but when running the AirPort Utility, it doesn't find my base station. The Dell doesn't have wireless. Does the Airport Utility only work via wireless? Or can it work across the ethernet connection?
    I'd appreciate anyone's help.
    Thanks.

    Hello VL Crew. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Does the Airport Utility only work via wireless?
    No, the AirPort Utility will work whether your computer is connected to the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) by wire or wireless.

  • New Airport Extreme Card - Can't Turn Airport On

    I just bought an airport extreme card for my G4. I installed it properly, but for some reason I cannot turn Airport on in OS X. The Airport Indicator shows up in the Menu Bar, and Network in System Preferences recognize the card, but when I click "Turn AirPort On", nothing happens.

    The next troubleshooting steps would have us concentrate on the AirPort system configuration files. These files are located in the /Library/Preferences folder on your MBP.
    The specific networking-related files are:
    NetworkInterfaces.plist
    com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    preferences.plist
    For troubleshooting purposes, you can delete (or move to another location) each of these individually or the entire folder. OS X will rebuild them with new default copies. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can always moving the originals back.
    I would recommend starting with the "preferences.plist" file, and then, the others (or the entire folder) next.

  • My new airport extreme card..(?)

    Hey, as I was in the process of moving out, I thought I would get an airport extreme card for my iBook. I did such, and installed it. I am now in an appartment with a 'wi/fi' certified wireless router. My buddy gets wireless in a snap on his Windows Laptop, but I can't seem to connect.
    My card is installed and the computer sees it, but all I can manage to get is a computer to computer network!
    Can anybody help me set it up for wireless internet so I don't have to connect through the LAN cable when I have an airport card installed?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Happy threading..
    DP

    Hi and Welcome to discussions!
    Can your iBook 'see' the wireless network? If not then SSID is switched off at the router, (a good thing to do as it's not broadcasting its existence to all & sundry). Although if you can network the computers that probably isn't the case.
    Some info from the AirPort
    Extreme Card User’s Guide
    "To join an AirPort wireless network, choose a network from the AirPort status icon in the menu bar. Enter the password for the network if necessary. If you are joining a closed network, choose Other from the list, and then type the name and password of the network.
    Note: To show AirPort status in the menu bar, open System Preferences and click Network. Choose AirPort from the Show pop-up menu, then click AirPort. Select the “Show AirPort status in menu bar” checkbox."
    Run Software update first to make sure that you have got the Airport SW.
    Have a read through the manual at the above link and see how you get on.
    Have you tried the 'Assistant', from Network Prefs? That should walk you through it.
    Good Luck!

  • Power Mac G5 fails to start up with Airport Extreme card in.

    Hello.
    I just received a 'new' Airport Extreme card for my Power Mac G5 1.8 (900fsb). I just installed it and it failed to start up with it in. The mac started up but without my Apple LCD and any USB devices. I did a PMU reset on the logic board and took out the Crucial 3rd party 512mb RAM and tried again but it won't start up. When I take the card out it's business as usual.
    Is it the card or the mac that's at fault? Has anyone had this problem too?
    Your help will be greatly appreciated.

    This problem can happen if:
    - the card has not been fully seated into its socket (doing that can take a firm push) or if you installed the card upside down
    - the card is defective
    - the card socket in the PowerMac G5 has broken or bent contact pins
    Check the installation you did with:
    http://www.info.apple.com/usen/cip/pdf/g5/apec_c.pdf
    If you are sure the card has been properly installed, you are gong to have to either (a) try a different Airport Extreme card or (b) let an Apple dealer or service center take a look at your PowerMac G5.

  • Cant connect to Netgear WPN824 with Airport Extreme Card

    Hi,
    I have a Netgear wireless router. I can connect to the router without a problem when I hard wire it. When I go wireless the Mac doesnt even recogonize the router. I have no security right now, so I could try to connect the easiest. This is a brand new Airport extreme card that I installed tonight in my Imac g5. Using OS 10.4.10. Please help!!! Thanks!!!
    I would think it would at least be able to recognize the network (which the name is being broadcasted). But it doesnt even show up.

    Did you connect the antenna wire to the AirPort Extreme card?
    Compare the antenna wire installation with the photos in KB 108039, Properly attaching the antenna on an AirPort Extreme Card.

  • Airport extreme card in g4 ppc - compatible with Mac Pro?

    I have an airport extreme card in my g4 PPC. dual 1.25ghz - fw800.
    question is, can i take this airport extreme card and put it in my new Mac Pro Dual 2.66ghz intel machine?

    No, the AirPort Extreme card is not compatible with the Mac Pro.
    The Mac Pro requires a special wireless card. Apple requires installation by an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP).

  • 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.

  • Airport Extreme card problems

    I just installed an Airport Extreme card in my daughter's out-of-warranty 1.07 GHz G4 (12 inch) i-Book, running OS 10.3.9, which never had a wi-fi card in it before. System profiler recognizes the new card OK, and I also ran the latest software update which changed the firmware to 400.17 (3.90.34.0.p11).
    At first I couldn't get it to find the signal from my Linksys router, on which three or other Macs are currently running, two of them with wireless connections, the others with ethernet. No problems ever with any of them or with the ISP (Comcast broadband through a cable modem).
    However, when I brought the i-book to within a foot or less of the router, the AirPort signal would come up OK and the internet would work normally. But with anymore distance than that, no success, and the signal would fade out. I tried re-installing the card several times, being particularly careful that the antenna cable was properly plugged into the card. No change.
    Then I removed the new Airport Extreme card from the i-Mac and installed it instead into my main computer, a dual processor G5 also running 10.3.9 (having of course unplugged the Ethernet cable). This time the Airport card worked perfectly at the ordinary distance from the router. (I had actually managed to find the original little T-shaped external antenna from the box of never-before-installed G5 parts, and plugged it into the correct hole.)
    Then to doublecheck, I ran the "hardware test" CD-ROM twice on the big G5 machine (once slow, once fast) and both times it showed the Airport Extreme card as "passed".
    So I pulled the card out again and reinstalled it into the i-Book. Same same as before... works OK only a few inches from the Linksys router's antenna, but not further away than that.
    Obviously it would appear that there is an internal antenna problem on the i-Book. So looking for a shorted cable, using a digital VOM I measured the resistance between the little aluminum outer block on the i-Book antenna wire connector and the interior of the pin extending from it and it showed only 0.8 ohms or so, which I would have thought indicated a short circuit. But then I took the same measurements on the big G5's internal antenna connector and it showed the same!
    Hmmm.
    The supplier of the Airport Extreme card gave me an RMA at my request but I told their tech dep't on the phone that I was quite sure the card itself was fine. Any ideas on any this? I'm stymied.
    Thanks out there for any feedback.
    AP

    Hi jeyl,
    Welcome to the Discussions.
    There's no need to return the card nor is there a problem with the iBook. It's most likely the antenna isn't fully inserted into the card. It takes much more force than you'd think necessary to insert it. This article illustrates a properly attached antenna.

  • Brand New Airport Extreme and Motorola Surfboard 5101 Connection Dropping

    I'm going to add to the chorus and point out that my brand spanking new Airport Extreme continually loses internet connectivity with my Motorola Surfboard 5101 modem (this is used on a Time Warner connection).
    Disconnecting the Airport and connecting directly to the modem via ethernet cable works flawlessly as does using my old Linksys router. With the Airport Extreme it will work for a number of hours and then drop the internet connection. Airport Utility shows the Airport Extreme as having a green light while the internet connection has the amber "disconnected" light, but, as I said, cutting the Airport out of the connection leaves my internet connection stable and flawless so it seems the problem is either the Airport or the combination of the two.
    So, is the only solution to replace the cable modem with one that works with the Airport? If so, how do I know what will work and what won't?
    Should I return the Airport? Get a completely different 802.11ac capable router (which one)? Perhaps there is some arcae setting buried deep in the bowels of one device or the other that needs setting?

    It's ok, I got. You have to put in password "BT"    Never had to do that before, but it works....maybe this helps someone else.  

  • Which AirPort extreme card for G5?

    I want to add an Airport extreme card to my Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5. I purchased it May 2005. A bit confusing is, can I? and which one?
    The Apple system requirements says :
    System Requirements:
    The AirPort Extreme Card can be installed only in computers that are AirPort Extreme ready. AirPort Extreme Cards cannot be used in AirPort-ready computers with an AirPort Card slot.
    Requires Mac OS X 10.2.7 or later and AirPort Admin Utility software version 3.1.1 or later to administer an AirPort Extreme Base Station.
    Wireless printing over USB requires Mac OS X v10.2.7 or later.
    This AirPort Extreme Card is not compatible with Power Mac G5 Dual and Power Mac G5 Quad computers introduced in October 2005. To add an AirPort Extreme card to one of these systems, please contact an Apple Retail Store or other Authorized Apple Service Provider.
    Thanks.

    Your Power Mac G5 requires the AirPort Extreme card.

  • AirPort Extreme Card for "Late 2005" G5 needed

    Hello!
    I am trying to buy and install WiFi in an old G5 which identifies itself as
    PowerMac11,2
    Dual 2,0 GHz
    According to Mactracker that makes it a "Late 2005" G5, and this is where trouble begins for me…
    I searched for information on that; this is what I think is right at the moment:
    All G5s – except for this "Late 2005" Modell – work with AirportExtreme! Cards.
    This one needs an AirportExtreme!/Bluetooth card.
    This card cannot be purchased from Apple, costs loads of money and is hard to install.
    Could anyone help me confirm or invalidate anything of that?
    Maybe you even know what I can do to still get WiFi?
    All I would like is an affordable solution.
    Thank you very much for helping out a recent switcher who thought life would be easier on the other side
    greets,
    Ludwig

    Thank you for your encouraging answer, Silent One.
    Now, I don't want to rebuff you, but I think Apple wrote this for a reason:
    +"This AirPort Extreme Card is not compatible with the Mac Pro or the Power Mac G5 Dual and Power Mac G5 Quad computers introduced in October 2005.

    I am quite sure that I need to find a different solution.
    Thanks for your help, though, and please correct me if I'm just talking nonsense here,
