PowerBook G4 on 802.11n

Hi, I've seen some discussion about this on other threads, but no resolution ... even someone whose PB died on them before getting to try it out.
Anyone out there have any success???
I'm wondering about these Quickertek products?

According to your specifications and the info I have read on those sites, it should work. However, if a powerbook died trying it out, I would suggest looking for another WiFi dongle or PCMCIA card.

  • Updating PowerBook to new 802.11n AirportExtreme

    I would like to get the new AirportExtreme to take advantage of the increased range and speed of the 11n. My other option is to do some wiring and set up another 11g access point, but that does not really help the speed any.
    Anyway, I have read that all the airport chips that have been going into the newer MacBooks and iMacs will support the new 11n with a software/firmware update. So my question is: can I just get a new airport card for my PowerBook that will have the new chipset in it? I assume it is not that easy (yet).
    If not, will any third party PCMCIA cards work? I know all pre-n devices are not necessarily compatible.

    Not so...all is not lost
    If you go to AE part of forum you will see someone has posted a link to Belkin that announces a new card (N) that you will be able to insert into card slot.
    This item was shown in San Fran and should be on sale soon, here in UK.
    (This info was gathered from posts from other members of this forum)
    Just found the link...

  • AirPort Extreme 802.11n and PowerBooks?

    I am about 1.5 seconds away from buying one of the new AirPort Extreme 802.11n base stations to work with my AirPort Express but I have some questions / concerns.
    1) Is my Powerbook capable of being enabled to access an "n based network" or is my money wasted on a router capable of speeds my computer can not access?
    2) Should my computer be capable of accessing this network, is the Airport Express Base Station I have capable of acting on this network in "N speed" too? I know the base station can be configured to act essentially as a relay to boost signal strength...if set up to do so will it dumb the speed down to "G speed"?
    3) If 1 and 2 are true and the express base station dumbs the speed of the N router down, can I configure the airport express base station to ONLY act as a wireless conection to my stereo and not as a wireless router, so as to allow my Powerbook to access the "N" speed network but still broadcast my music wirelessly to the stereo?
    Many thanks...I wish they just made this information clearer on pages like this:
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/EducationIndividualCanadaCustom .woa/9804006/wa/PSLID?mco=F7D93AEF&nplm=D4141ZM/A&wosid=gE4h0LIBbghZ2sXpLP21Wij0 uPJ

    Hey for any one still lookin....
    1. It all depends on what your CARD is capable of. Your POWERBOOK is more then capable of "N" speeds. Your only limited on the bandwidth of the Cardbus slot. You would have to have a third party card to access the new "N" speeds tho. I'm not sure if the last batch of (pre MacBooks) Powerbooks even made it to the "G" standard. I know Apple just came out with a driver for the latest Macs that have an upgradeable Card and or Basestation to get to "N". I really don't think your Express is upgradeable.
    2. You need to look at what models you have to figure out what their capable of. You should be able to go to Apple's web site to find out. Usually the Router will Dumb it down to the SLOWEST speed. Unless you were streaming your music, and playing a game online, and transferring a large file you shouldn't have a problem anyway. As long as you are not using the slowest product it won't dumb down.
    3. Haven't got that far yet. I've used up all my brain cells getting this far, so good luck on your mission. Try starting another string with specifics on what you want to do.

  • Airport Drives Me CRAZY! New 802.11n Network Slower Than Old 802.11g/b

    I've been using Macs since 1988 and consider myself an advanced user. However, every time I setup a new Airport wireless network or re-configure an existing one, I feel like a helpless newbie trying to figure out how to open a folder on my desktop. No matter how many times I read the manual or the help files or these forums, I can never grasp what seems like it should be a simple path from A to B to C.
    Anyway, here's my current situation: I've been successfully (I think) running a 6 year old AP Extreme Base Station [AE] (in my home office addition) and 2 Airport Expresses [AX] (one AX roughly 15 feet from the base station--through sheetrock, and the second AX roughly 30 feet from the first AX--through sheetrock and some wooden stairs. (so roughly 45 feet from AE to 2nd AX). It wasn't the speediest thing going but it did the trick with older Macs.
    I recently bought a MacBook Pro which supports 802.11n. I most often use this laptop at the point in the house furthest away from the AE (Base Station) The AE (Base Station) is in my home office connected to my MacPro desktop (see #1 below). In addition, the family iMac is also in that room furthest from the AE. Using the new MacBook Pro with the old 802.11/g/b network turned out to be painfully slow. I was experiencing the same slow network connection my family has complained about for years with their older Macs and 802.11g/b.
    I decided it was time to upgrade the whole network, if only to speed up my MacBook Pro connection. Bought new 802.11n Airport Extreme (MC340LL/A) and 2 new 802.11n Airport Expresses (MB321LL/A). Setup did not go smoothly. Again, my normally competent Mac persona was reduced to a babbling three-year-old. Had three different Apple techs on the phone trying to help me through it. Got different, contradictory instructions from the last two. Finally got all three units working, only to find that not only does my MacBook Pro seem even more sluggish than when connected to the old 802.11g/b network, but my wife tells me web pages are taking at least twice as long to load as with the old network.
    As concisely as I can lay this out:
    *1. Airport Extreme (Base Station)*
    Connected via Ethernet from its WAN port to my Comcast cable modem. One Ethernet (LAN) port on that AE is then connected via Ethernet to my Netgear 8-port Ethernet switch. Ethernet from switch to Ethernet port 1 on my MacPro. (MacPro does NOT have an Airport card because I forgot to order one. Also I confirmed that this setup was functional by connecting to the AE wirelessly with my MacBook Pro showing the name I'd given the new network prior to adding the two AX's to the mix).
    Some Airport Extreme settings of note (all accessed via "Manual Setup" button):

    SETUP/GOALS:
    With Airport Extreme (Base Station) as the starting point, have the two Airport Express units with the strongest, fastest signal possible, provide Internet access (and file sharing, iTunes speakers capability) to three Macs (one older iMac, one older PowerBook and my new MacBookPro). Again, I believe my new MacBook Pro is the only one with 802.11n support, so I don't expect the other Macs to take advantage of the speed boost offered by the three new 802.11n devices.
    +Any and all help with this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!+

    {quote}With the AirPort Extreme, in the AirPort panel, Wireless tab, click on the button for "Wireless Network Options", check the box for "5 GHz Network Name", and enter a different network name. (That can be trivially different, such as the name of the main network suffixed with an underscore and the digit 5.) Once configured that way, connect your "N" gear to each network in turn to see if one is any better than the other. (If you're wondering what effect this would have, it allows segregating your "N" gear from the older gear to prevent the older gear from slowing down your network. However, distance and interference from things like walls may negate any advantage.){quote}
    William: I was gone most of yesterday, but had a chance to implement your recommendations today. I added the 5 GHz network as you suggested, but in order to connect to that at all with my 802.n11 MacBokk Pro, I need to be within a few feet of the AE (base station). If I try to access that network even from the next room (well within reach of both the AE and the livingroom AX, I get one bar and "failure to connect" messages just trying to logon to that network.
    However, I did some experimenting that (as of right now, anyway) resulted in much faster network access, not only from my MacBook, but also from the older iMac which is the furthest Mac from the AE. According to my wife, that iMac is "loading web pages faster than I've ever seen them!"
    Here's what I did:
    1. Moved all three units to places where it seemed they would have the least amount of interference with the clearest path from unit to unit, also raising the height of both AXs from about 2-3 feet from the floor to about 5-6 feet from the floor.
    2. Changed one setting on the AE (base station): Wireless Tab > Wireless Network Options > Multicast Rate ---> Changed this from Low to High.
    I have a feeling the location shifts made the real difference, but I will try changing the multicast rate back to "Low" just to see what happens.

  • Native Aiport cardbus/PCMCIA card for 802.11n

    My wife has a Powerbook. For airport we are using a Microsoft (gasp!) MN-720 cardbus card. This has the same Broadcom chipset in it as an Airport Extreme card and is recognized by the Apple Airport drivers as a native airport extreme card. It works great and no third party drivers were needed. I'm interested if anyone has found a cardbus card that uses the same chipset as Apple does for their 802.11n implementation. The object being of course to have the Apple drivers see it as a native extreme N card. I'm aware of the Quickertek nQuicky cardbus card, but that requires their drivers. I'm looking for something that the Apple drivers will recognize as their own. Thanks ... Perry

    Hardware differences. Core duos don't have the ability to be upgraded to 802.11n via the software update.

  • PowerBook and iMac 802.11 G connectivity issues

    I have a Linksys WCG200 (Cable modem/ 4 port wired /802.11G wireless router) that I use to share internet with two notebook PCs (work) and my Powerbook G4 and iMac G5. This set-up has worked flawlessly for 6 months.
    Recently, I have run into the issue of not being able to connect wirelessly with my Macs. If I take the PowerBook to within a few feet fo the router, it will sometimes "see" it, but then when attempting to connect, it will indicate "there was an error connecting to the network". The PC notebooks see the router OK and my MACs see all the neighbors SSID's, but not mine. My SSID is not hidden, and I can still wire the MACs to the router and connect OK.
    The firmware on the Linksys is not user upgradeable and I have not changed it.
    All software updates on the MACs are current.
    Any ideas?

    Cheers for the quick replies, but I'm feeling particularly stupid today. I'm going to the recommended website on the BT help page to do it - http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/32376/kw/802.11n/c/346,502,504 - but it's just now showing up. "Problem loading page" and all that.
    Ah well, I just checked the streaming video problem using another device, and it works fine, so I'm guessing the problem is nothing to do with my network and something to do with the 360.

  • Airport Express 802.11n Destroyed my external drive?

    Ok.. taking a deep breath. My new 802.11n apple extreme base station could no longer recognize my external drive. (post 10.4.9 install). I am not sure if the new aebs killed it or 10.4.9 or a combination of both.
    Note I've had it this drive for about 2 years running, and it's been hooked up to the new router for about 1-2 weeks.
    So I connected the external drive directly to my laptop (tried both USB2 and firewire).
    I get a dialog box: Disk Insertion
    The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer.
    I went on to disk utility and found this when trying verify/repair:
    Verify and Repair disk “disk2s3”
    Checking HFS Plus volume.
    Invalid node structure

    Has anyone else had this issue. I have my photo library on my powerbook.. but my itunes library is on this 400gb external beast (along with some big home movie projects i have not backed up).
    Please help help help!

    No one can be sure of the effect of 10.4.9. And problems are still being worked out with 802.11n compatibility. However, I don't think that it would "destroy" a disk like you've said. You might try a program like Disk Genius to try to repair your external drive. No one would like to think about it - but it may also just have been a coincidence and your drive has failed. At any rate, it sounds like you stand a lot to lose, so you may want to invest in Disk Genius. Trying reviving your disk and then worry about the Airport issues later.

  • Very poor 802.11n performance

    I'm having difficulties with my time capsule. The performance seems very erratic. Due to me having also having a powerbook I've so far run it in compatible mode.
    But the many problems regarding signal strength and a stable throughput struggling to keep above 485 kb/s prompted me to move the Time Capsule closer to the Powerbook so I could hook it up via cable and completely switch to 802.11n 5ghz, connceting the other computers wirelessly.
    Unfortunately, it doesn't work. The performance is laughable, I get a mere 5000 kb/s down (internet based test) whereas I normally (2.4 ghz n/b/g compatibel) i get just under 2 MB/s.
    Sending files to and from a connected harddrive is also very very very slow.
    What is wrong with the Time Capsule? Is it interference from the (bastards) around me that all have their routers setup to automatically chose channel?
    Is my time capsule broken? Is my computer broken? What is wrong?
    I'm close to returning the device.

    I've just completed an experiment.
    Two iMacs side-by-side. One with Airport Utility 5.4.1 ("new"), second with Airport Utility 5.3.1 ("old"). Time Capsule with firmware 7.4.1.
    Initial tests for connection Rate:
    "New" average about 122
    "Old" average about 232 (about twice the Rate)
    Installed Airport Utility 5.4.1 on "old" iMac.
    New tests for connection Rate:
    Both averaging about 116
    To me this suggests an effect of the "upgrade" to 5.4.1. But could this be the case? I'm not going to downgrade the firmware quite yet until I rule this and any interference issues out.

  • Any idea on how 802.11n software updater work?

    Hi,
    I have PB-G4 and just read on macworld that apple has released a 802.11n software updater. This enables 802.11n wireless network on your macbook pro or imacs, basically hardware with intel dual core. Does anyone knows if I how this upgrade works? Can I use this updater on PB-G4?
    Best regards,
    Brilty

    This updater works by adding computer code to the machine which enables the use of 802.11n functions that are already present in the hardware. It cannot be used on your PowerBook or with any Mac that doesn't have the hardware components needed to use 802.11n on the built-in card.

  • Extending a network with two AEBSn 802.11n base stations

    Problem: Laptop on remote Airport Extreme (n) doesn't get internet, but can see entire network.
    I have set up 2 new Airport Extreme's (n). One is connected to the cable modem and set to "create wireless network" and "Share a public IP address" . The other is about 80-100 feet away and set to extend the network.
    A PowerBook G4 is connected to the remote Airport Extreme and gets an IP address correctly, and can connect to a computer on the primary Airport Extreme. Transfer rates from the remote laptop to a computer on the primary Airport Extreme are strong (15-30 Mbit).
    According to the Airport utility, link speed between the two Airport Extreme's fluctuates between 104 and 130 Mbit.
    The problem is that the computer connected to the remote Airport Extreme can't get out to the internet. Computers connected to the primary Airport Extreme get a very fast connection to the internet. What am I doing wrong?

    - If practical, place the base stations in near
    proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once
    done, move them to their desired locations.
    - Open AirPort Utility and select the base station
    that will connect to the Internet.
    - Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or

    open its configuration in a separate window. Enter
    the base station password if necessary.
    - Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the
    Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the
    network you want to extend from the Network Name

    I followed the exact instructions above with one AEBSn connected to the DSL modem and "creating the wireless network", and a second AEBSn "extending the network". Depending on the location (1st or 3rd floor), my PowerBook G4 connects perfectly to the AEBSn with the stronger signal.

  • AEBS (802.11n model) and Airport Express both disappeared

    My Airport Extreme network worked properly yesterday. My Airport Extreme Base Station (new 802.11n model) is connected to a Motorola Canopy terrestrial antenna dish (via the WAN port) which is the DHCP server. It is also connected to my printers and wired computers via one of the LAN ports and an 8-port Ethernet Switch. The Airport Express is being used to connect my home entertainment receiver; I just added the Airport Express into the network yesterday and it worked great with both iTunes and Airfoil yesterday.
    Today the green light was still on on the Airport Express, but iTunes could not find it. I tried to use AirPort Utility, but it says "AirPort Utility was unable to find any AirPort base stations." AirPort Utility can't even find the main base station even though I am wirelessly connected to the internet right now through it! The light on the Airport Express is now flashing yellow (it is not working at all other than flashing its light)
    I am running the AirPort Utility from a 12" PowerBook G4. All of my Macs are PowerPC at present, so I am not yet utilizing the 802.11n (just 802.11g and wired Ethernet).
    I guess I will need to setup the AirPorts again. How can I get the settings to stick so that I won't have to reset them on a daily basis? I am not sure what went wrong here.

    I had the same issue as a lot of you with my Airport Expresses.
    When you first set up your Airport Express did you use the new Airport Utility that comes with the 802.11n Base Station or did you use the Old Utility?
    What I ended up doing was resetting my Airport Express to the Factory Defaults, then using my Airport Connection (top Right corner) choose the Airport Express from there, it's going to be a Apple SSID/Network name, and then resetup the Airport Express with the NEW Airport Utility.
    Haven't had an issue with any of my connections. I have 2 Airport Express, one as a client and one as a WDS Remote Station.
    I also live in a apartment, and my Macbook picks up 12 different Access Points. But haven't had any problems with drop offs or disconnects after reseting my Expresses and resetting them up with the Airport Utility that comes with the 802.11n Extreme.
    Hope that helps,

  • Airport 802.11n issues

    I have 4 macs and 3 of which cannot access the Airport extreme 802.11n.
    The only one that can is the MacBook 10.5.4
    I need to connect a g5 (intel) 10.5.2, PowerBook (PowerPC G4) 10.4.11 and MacBook Pro 10.5.4
    Is this info helpful, or do you need to know anything about the airport card each comp has?
    Can you point me towards some troubleshooting help?
    Thanks so much!

    "I need to connect a g5 (intel) 10.5.2" did not think Apple ever made this one has a B/G card not N
    "PowerBook (PowerPC G4) 10.4.11" has a B/G card not N
    "MacBook Pro 10.5.4" should be able to connect to N
    Use Airport Utility and set your network for 2.4 GHZ N+B/G speed you will not get N speed at 5 GHZ your devices are mixed so the N peed will not be there.

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n and WDS with 802.11g express

    I have an 802.11n Airport Extreme that I have been using with my AppleTV. I have it set to allow for 802.11b/g, since I have an old Powerbook Titanium that cannot be upgraded.
    I recently decided to add my Airport Express 802.11g to the mix to act as a bridge for a remote, wired computer. I did this by enabling WDS on the Extreme/Express.
    My question is this: by enabling WDS on the extreme, will the AppleTV still be able to connect at 802.11n speeds, or does it get pulled back to 11g? Is there any way to verify/check this on either the Extreme or the AppleTV?
    Thanks,
    keith

    You can check the connection speed of each wireless client attached to a base station using Airport Utility. Launch Airport Utility, click on the Airport button in the toolbar. On the Summary tab you'll see an item called Wireless clients. It shows you how many wireless client devices are connected to that base station.
    Click on the words Wireless Clients and you'll get a graph and a list. The graph shows the signal strength of each client. The list shows the client's wireless MAC, the signal and noise levels and the rate at which each device is communicating. On my Extreme-n base stations, I regularly see rates from 1 to 130 and everything inbetween. It looks like each device runs at it's best rate based on signal strength and error rate.
    Assuming you know the MAC of your Apple TV (it's on the serial number label) you can see what wireless data rate it's getting this way.
    The thing I've noticed is that my Extreme-g base stations seem to connect to clients at higher average rates than my Extreme-n units. In other words, on the g units I'll see more clients at 54 (the max) or 48 and on the n units just a couple will connect at 130 or 54 but most are at lower rates like 27 or 11 (even 2 or 1), even when they are in the same room as the base station.
    I find that very odd and would like to understand it. Anybody have any ideas?

  • Macbook refuses to use 802.11n?

    I have an 802.11n router, running in MIMO mode with WPA2/AES encryption, with only two machines attempting to connect to it. Both are running OSX 10.6.5:
    My macbook air 1.6GHz (December 2010). This machine connects perfectly as 802.11n, every time.
    My wife's 2GHz Macbook 2,1 (I think somewhere around mid-2007 manufacture). This machine has the n extension installed (I can't recall installing it, but network utility shows it as 802.11 a/b/g/n). Whenever I attempt to connect with this machine, connection initially fails, but it eventually connects as an 802.11g connection (as shown by option-clicking on the network icon). When it does connect - not very well - it slows the connection of the macbook air way down.
    I'm guessing that if I could force my wife's machine to connect in n mode, everything would be OK. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    What I've tried so far:
    .deleting and re-enabling the wireless drivers in the network preferences panel
    .making a new network location
    .deleting all relevant plists
    .repairing disk permissions
    Relevant background information:
    .the 'n' router only supports channels 1-12 (i.e. we can't force n by using non-g channels)
    .this network is in a crowded apartment block - I can see around a dozen other networks in istumbler
    .the router is using directional paired (MIMO) antennas to bounce the signal from one apartment to another off an adjoining building. Of course, this could in general be problematic; but the received signal strength is OK - not good - according to both istumbler and a separate linux metering program. And the MBA works perfectly well in the same locations.
    .it's using channel 1; there are two g networks in the building also using channel 1, but according to istumbler, our signal is strongest of the three in the 'receiving' apartment (in channels 6 and 11, there are other stronger signals, so 1 is the only rational choice).
    .the router is running in mixed, not greenfields, mode
    .although the MB is only able to connect in g mode, istumbler on the MB still shows it as an 'n' network
    .we have never encountered any previous wifi problems with the MB (but this is the first time we've tried to connect it to an n router)
    .and just to repeat, the router is using WPA2/AES encryption, which should be compatible with 802.11n
    TIA for any help

    SOLVED!
    Who in the world would have guessed??
    Trendnet support provided this information:
    <<Note: Due to chipset compatibility issues, if you choose WEP, WPA or WPA2-TKIP encryption this device may operate in Legacy Wireless mode (802.11b/g). You may not get 802.11n performance as these forms of encryption are not supported by the 802.11n specification. >>
    I had used WPS2-TKIP, just by accident. I changed it to Authentication WPA-Auto and Cypher type auto, and now it works on 802.11n, as well as g!! Even on my Powerbook G3 and HP laptop.
    Who would have guessed?

  • How far away can you connect to the internet from Airport Extreme (802.11n)

    How far can i take my Laptop away from Airport Extreme (802.11n) and still have internet connection

    According to:
    http://www.apple.com/au/airportexpress/
    They claim the Extreme has a 45m range:
    "Suppose you want to connect to the Internet with your PowerBook in an area that lies beyond the 45 metre range of your AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base Station"
    Will you be using all N devices? G?, B? or a combination?
