PC wireless card for Airport Extreme

What type of wireless card do I need in my PC to work with my Airport Extreme network?

You can use any wireless card which supports either the 802.11b or 802.11g protocols; AirPort Extreme speed requires 802.11g.
Wireless cards that use only 802.11a or the 802.11n draft may not be able to interoperate with the rest of the network.

  • PC wireless card for Airport Express?

    Hi. I just got myself an Apple Airport Express. It works with my MacBook Pro perfectly. I need to extend it's use to my PC with Windows XP which has all the music. I want to know which internal wireless card with wi-fi 802.11n works best on a PC? Can't find one in India and I'm asking someone to get it for me from the US so need to get it right first time around.
    Thanks.

  • Intel wireless card and Airport Extreme: non compatible

    Hi,
    just to let you know that after hundreds of test I've found that the new Airport Extreme base station sends non compatible singal that it's not seen by the wireless card of my Acer (the second computer in my home...after a Mac, of course). The card is the Intel Pro Wireless Lan 2100 3b.

    HI,
    i can not agree, that APE does not support my centrino notebook.
    i got a dell it worked, i have tested acer with the same wireless lan card (intel BG 2200 mini PCI) it did not work.
    with macbook it works, too.

  • Is the maximum number of users for Airport Extreme per device, i.e. 2 AEBS = 100 users, one AEBS extending the other on the same wireless network?

    Is the maximum number of users for Airport Extreme per device, i.e. 2 AEBS = 100 users, one AEBS extending the other on the same wireless network?

    50 users per device, assuming that the "main" router is setup to deliver an adequate number of network IP addresses for all devices.
    2 AEBS = 100 users, but that is really more of a theoretical max. 
    If you really need 100 connections, it would be much better to use 3 AEBS to spread things out.

  • N wireless card for Mac Mini 1.66ghz

    What is the best wireless card for me to install to upgrade to N series wireless? Also is it always better to go 300 mbps vs. 150 mbps? (will be installing Snow Leopard OS). Thanks.

  • Can I use powerline wireless adapters with airport extreme

    can I use power line wireless adapters with airport extreme?

    Can this work?
    Yes
    I read somewhere that powerline adapters are not compatible with Airport.
    That information is not correct.
    If the AirPort Extreme is already set up as your "main" router, you would connect a short Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Extreme to the power line adapter.
    Locate another adapter in the area where you want to use the AirPort Express and connect a short Ethernet cable from the adapter to the Express.
    Configure the Express to "create a wireless network" using the same wireless network name, same security settings and and same password as the AirPort Extreme network and select the Bridge Mode setting for the Express so that it work correctly on the network.

  • Elementary question: need wireless card for old Dell

    Hi, all: I need to buy a wireless card for my several-years-old Dell Precision 340 desktop, so that I can network it with my MacBook Pro and printer using AirPort Express. Can buy any old USB network adapter card branded "universal"? Any recommendations? There is no built-in wireless card. Also, I understand that I will have to reconfigure the AirPort somehow to handle both PC and Mac (I spent a long time on the phone with Support getting to work in the first place, just with the Mac notebook).
    Thanks for any advice!

    Hello jonnofor. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Can buy any old USB network adapter card branded "universal"? Any recommendations? There is no built-in wireless card.
    Just about any 802.11b/g wireless device will work with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX). The AX is capable of up to WPA2 wireless encryption, so if this is important to you, you would want a device that is WPA or WPA2 capable as well. In addition to USB-style, the Precision 340 can also take PCI-cards. For example, Linksys offers both a USB & PCI types.
    Also, I understand that I will have to reconfigure the AirPort somehow to handle both PC and Mac
    There shouldn't be any required configuration changes necessary for the AX just to support both Macs and PCs. Most issues that come into play relate to using WEP for wireless encryption. You can eliminate this by using WPA or WPA2 instead.

  • Why doesn't friend's pc connect wirelessly to my Airport Extreme?

    A friend's HP Pavillion zd7000 (laptop) does not connect to my Airport Extreme.
    I have two other laptop pc's connecting just fine wirelessly to the Airport Extreme.
    Also, I have an iMac connecting just fine wirelessly to the Airport Extreme.
    My friend's pc DOES detect the wireless network, but it does not connect to the wireless network after I click on "connect".
    As a test, I took my friend's pc to a PC repair shop that I use; and I found it connected just fine to the wireless network there - so I brought it home again.
    I've re-typed the network password numerous times. Caps lock is off.
    The 'Wireless Network Connection' window just says "waiting for network", and after a few minutes searches for available networks.
    Repairing the connection doesn't work.
    Removing the wireless network in Wireless Connection 3 Properties/Wireless Networks and then starting all over again results in the same situation.
    I'm using WPA2 security setting on the Airport Extreme. My friends pc shows that as WPA-PSK. Anyway, I don't want to mess about with the Airport Extreme settings and risk messing up the working wireless connections with the other three computers.
    I don't know what else to do.

    Having Bonjour installed hasn't made a difference. I mean my friend's pc still does not connect to my wireless network.
    Poking around in the Norton AntiVirus interface on the pc, hoping for possible clues, I saw the following:
    After I click to make NAV produce a 'Netwok Map', a pop up window states "Devices on your network are not responding. Would you like to try again?"
    Also, in the NAV Log Viewer, under Internet Worm Protection, under Activities,I see recent instances of preparations by several applications to connect to the internet, including Bonjour, NAV, and elements of Windows. Of course none of them are succeeding in connecting.

  • Can't get windows 7 netbook onto wireless internet via airport extreme.

    I've spent 3 days trying to get my new Acer netbook with windows 7 home premium in it on the internet wirelessly through my Airport Extreme. It shows the internet is there but will not connect. It keeps asking me for a security key. I have tried my system password and the airport password, neither of them work. I have a feeling I'm just missing something in one of the settings but I am a die hard Apple/Mac user and this little windows machine is really killing me! The airport is working flawlessly for my Imac desktop and my Ibook so I know it isn't the airport. Anyone have any suggestions (other than getting rid of the Netbook?)

    I'm kind of having the same problem. I can finally connect and get on the internet wirelessly but I can not setup my Airport Extreme. I just moved recently and I didn't have any issues at my old place and now I can use the internet and I get this blinking amber light and it's kind of annoying. Every time I click Manually Setup or Continue in the Airport Utilities my computer will try to detect any Apple devices, even though it right there on the left side it can not connect to it. At the same time I click either button my wireless disconnects for a second and reconnect.
    I can't setup my Airport Extreme using this garbage OS they call Windows.

  • Where do I download drivers for airport extreme.....my iPad can not be set up by he current software

    where do I download drivers for airport extreme.....my iPad can not be set up by he current software

    I have an airport extreme with updated software(latest) and I setup an Ipad 3 on it with ios6(wirelessly). You can access the airport to update it with the utitlity app on an ios device, mac, or pc. I dont think it has anything to do with the airport software. Did you try rebooting the airport, then trying again?
    Like james said, maybe more detail would help someone help you.

  • Wireless card for desktop

    Do I need to purchase and install a wirless card for my pc inorder to get the airport express to connect?

    If you are trying to get wireless connectivity to a wireless router, like the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), then yes, you will need a 802.11g wireless card for your PC.

  • How to disable the wireless section of Airport Extreme Base Station?

    Is it possible to disable the wireless section of Airport Extreme Base Station?
    It is because I do not want to have any high frequency radio signal which may be dangerous for small baby (no such proof for the moment, however).
    Anyone using the new Airport Extreme Base Station please check and help.
    Thanks!!

    I think you are a little too concerned. Just for the sake of how to, here it is.
    go to manual set up, airport, wireless, wireless mode, and then choose off.
    good luck.

  • How can I rename an established wireless network using airport extreme?

    How can I rename an established wireless network using airport extreme?

    Thanks for the info.  On your Mac......
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the picture of the AirPort Extreme
    Click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next window that appears
    Edit/backspace out the Wireless Network Name and type in a new name that you want to use
    Click Update at the lower right of the window
    Wait a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart
    Close AirPort Utility
    The new network that you named will use the same network password that you set up originally.

  • Where can I find a wireless card for my early 2009 Mac Pro (MB871LL/A, MacPro4,1)?

    Where on on earth can I purchase a wireless card for my Mac Pro?
    Apple is of no help.  Their "Geniuses" told me that it is impossible for them sell one to me because Apple will not supply wireless cards or memory for previous generation computers.  That is totally absurd.  If I want to get a wireless card for my 2 year young computer I can't? I have to buy a brand new computer with one previously installed. Ridiculous!
    Any help or suggestions would be of great value to me.

    Well I found what I think is the correct card on B&H.
    Hopefully it works....

  • I'm trying to setup a printer go wireless through my airport extreme, but every time I try to print the printing file gets paused. I'm in loop. PLEASE HELP! (The printer is a Brother 7020  monochrome)

    I'm trying to setup a printer go wireless through my airport extreme, but every time I try to print the printing file gets paused. I'm in loop. PLEASE HELP! (The printer is a Brother 7020  monochrome)

    I had the exact same problem
    It turns out I was using a 20 foot USB cable between the printer and the Airport Extreme and the signal had become to weak to work. Try using nothing more than a 6 foot cable or try a new cable
