Recommendations for Wireless Card?

I am thinking of getting a new wireless card for my laptop because my wireless connection is very weak at home. We all use a router, however my sister in the room next to me has flawless connection on her Windows laptop. It was suggested to me to look into getting a networking card that matches my Linksys router for stronger wireless connection, but I was hoping for some more advice. I do not know where to look first or how to start searching.

Some WiFi issues are known to be fixed simply by upgrading to 10.4.11. To upgrade to 10.4.11, follow my FAQ*:

Others may be fixed by following my FAQ*:

Recommended PCMCIA wireless cards for Linux 2.4.20?

I am interested in any suggestions for Cisco (or other!) PCMCIA IEEE 802.11b wireless cards that are compatible with Linux 2.4.20, i.e., an upgrade of the Linux kernel is a last option!
The source files for the driver must also be available. It is preferable if the cards are IEEE 802.11g/n ready also, but this is not essential.
Thanks for any replies!

Good luck to you. While it's slowly getting better in the 2.6 kernel line..
I've always just used the win32 driver with the NDIS wrapper in Linux. While it's not my favorite option, it works.
As for driver sources, if you do find an open source wifi driver for a major chipset like Atheros, let us all know.. :)

Qustion for wireless card Satelite Pro M30

Hello,
I laptop has the Intel 2100. Would a 2200 Intel card purchased from the open market operate, or must I purchase the Toshiba one?
Thanks and Regards
George

Hi
In my opinion you can buy the wireless card where you want but the cards that you can order at Toshiba site are tested and it must work without problem. As far as I know on your unit there are drivers for INTEL and ATHEROS wireless cards already preinstalled and these cards will be recognized and installed automatically.

Post relates to: Tungsten E2
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I'm guessing the Wifi card since the E2 has BT already.
I found a few on amazon.com, but as Tribbles mentioned eBay may be the cheapest place to find one:

Can someone recommend a wireless card for AT&T's broad band service?

I'm in the process of switching to AT&T, since I just bought an iPhone. I'd like to use AT&T's broadband service on my MacBook
Pro. I was told the only 'Air Card', as they call it, is a USB card,
number AC881. Is there an express card available? Does anyone
have any experience with their broad band service?
Thanks,
Paul

some companies have express/32 cards, USB sticks or both... if you call AT&T or search their site then you will find your info there.. seems the person you talked to is correct.. i have the link [here|https://swot.sbc.com/swot/wirelessProductDetail.do?productOfferId=205379& Type=Wireless%20Phones]

Recommendations for wireless adapter to use with Tivo?

I'm shopping for my first Tivo box, and was wondering if any of the Tivo-recommended wireless USB adapters work better with Airport/Mac than the others?
Thanks!
Erin

I'm glad to see this topic addressed here. I have a TiVo (Humax w/DVD Burner) and I have home network using Airport for our 3 Macintosh computers. I have been avoiding trying to hook up my TiVo to the network...and thought I'd do some research before I take the plunge. Based on what I'm reading, I should purchase a D Link DWL 120B?? We also have ReplayTV as well, has anyone tried doing networking with RPTV and Airport?

IdeaPad S415 touch Windows 8.1 Update for Wireless Card Lenovo Part #20200437

I bought this wireless/bluetooth card for my Ideapad S415T and the only drivers for it were for Windows 7. One solution I found said to run the Win 7 drivers in compatibility mode. I wasn't satisfied with doing that so I hunted for the updated drivers for Win 8.1 and found them. I have provided the link at the bottom of this page.
(Make sure you are plugged into your router by an ethernet cable to access internet)
1. When you get to the page scroll down until you see the blue links click on either the link for Win 8.1 32 or 64 bit. If you are not sure which version of Windows you have, go to your desktop open Control Panel, click on System and Security, find System and click on it. Under the System heading on this page you will find if you are 32 or 64 bit. Keep this window open as you will need it in step 3.
2. Once you have downloaded the Zip file go to where it is in Downloads under This PC. Right click on the folder file, which has a zipper on it, highlight Extract All. This will undo the zip file into a separate file that is open. Leave it in the download folder.
3. Go back to your desktop. On the left hand side of the window you left open in step 1 look for Device Manager click on this. Give it a minute as it opens the list. If you just installed this piece of hardware it may show up under Other Network and will have a yellow triangle on it with an exclamation mark in it.
4. Right click on it and highlight Update Driver Software. This will open a new window click on Browse This Computer. If this is an exsisting piece of hardware it can be found under Network Adapters. Look for Qualcomm Atheros AR956x Wireless Network Adapter follow the instructions as for Other Network
4. Once the new window opens up click on the Browse button. This will bring up a new message box. Highlight the Downloads folder. At the bottom of the new message window click Open. This will populate the Browse bar.
5. Make sure Include Subfolders is checked (it should be by default), click next and it should find the drivers. Follow the directions if any come up after that, and voila! Your wireless should work.

If you think I may have missed something in the steps just reply to this post either what I missed or that you are having trouble with it. Good luck

Can you be more specific with the below, as I can't make sense of what you're referring to? I don't know what element size is at all, or where to change it. And, I don't know what you mean by unchecking a checkbox in the device manager as there are no checkboxes. More guidance and specifics would be appreciated.
* Change the element size back to recover from blurry text
* Go to device manager and uncheck that checkbox for the first of the USB devices in HID so that the touchscreen does always react on the first touch (this setting has been lost during the update process)

Recommendations for graphics card update

I have a dual processor 867MHz MDD G4 and am thinking of putting in a better graphics card - primarily to (a) see the transparent menu bar in Leopard and (b) improve performance by using any available hardware acceleration on the card instead of CPU clock cycles.
Any recommendations please?

Hi-
The ATI Technologies RADEON 9800 PRO MAC EDITION 4x AGP graphics card will give you the performance boost you're looking for. Core Image and Quartz Extreme are supported with this card, which are needed for embedded OS effects.

Need recommendations for graphics card

What's out there that is about as good as it gets? My Mac Pro can use a better card. Didn't realize how bad it was until we got a new Mac 17" laptop.
I'm assuming a change involves no more than extracting the old card, inserting a new one. And running an install for it. Right?

No software install is needed. The drivers are in the current OSX.

Recommendations for wireless security...

We have a small campus and the following equipment:
1 - 4402 WLC
12 - APs
3 Networks (Guest, Student, Staff)
1 ACS server
What would you recommend in regards to a practical, yet effective, security setup. We currently use WEP/MAC filtering for the staff network, the student and guest side are wide open.
I am just looking for some ideas of how you would implement security.

Hi,
I think the below may help!!
GUEST = WEB AUTH internal page
STAFF = PEAP MSCHAP V2 server side certs
STUDENTS = MAC FILETERING with WEP.
Lemme know if this answered ur question!!

Recommendations for wireless bridge

I have several 1262 LAP's connected to a virtual WLC controller. I need to build a wireless bridge to a warehouse for a few computers and voip phones. Any recomendations on the hardware and configeration? I've done this before with Proxim AP's, but am new to Cisco's wireless hardware. Duel radio's would help, so I can put one inside and one outside for the bridge.

The WLC won't be able to control a 'bridge', unless you were using 1552.
But you could use the radios on the bridge as well, so long as you use 'infrastrucure-ssid optional' under the SSID. that will allow you to 'bridge' on teh 5GHz and still use the 2.4GHz
HTH,
Steve

Recommendations for wireless mono laser printer compatible with OS 10.6.7?

I am looking for a wireless mono laser printer compatible with Snow Leopard OS10.6.7. This is to be shared by 4 Macs in a small office. We are connected to the internet via DSL modem (2 wired, 2 wireless), and communicate with the Bonjour network. We have a Time Capsule, but are not using that for a server at this time. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

How long is a piece of string?
There's a myriad of compatible printers that meet your given criteria, but that's mostly because you haven't been very specific about your needs... 'compatible with 10.6.7' is just one of many considerations.
For a start, what's your budget? That may narrow the field considerably.
Then what's your expected print run? If you're printing tens of thousands of pages per month your needs are way different from someone printing one or two pages a day (or week!). There's a reason why printer manufacturers list a 'duty cycle' on their spec sheets - it tells you what they think it's capable of handling so that you don't under or over-spec your printer.
And 'duty cycle' is way more than just the speed per page - it's how quickly the components wear out and need replacing. If you print 10,000 pages per month then the manufacturer has to build using higher-grade components that can run for hundreds of thousands of pages before servicing/replacing (and I'm talking here of things like fusers, belts, and the like, not consumables like ink and toner).
On the other hand there's no point in the manufacturer using high-grade components that can handle 1,000,000 cycles in a printer that's printing 100 pages a month - the printer, your computer and probably even you would be obsolete way before those components wore out.
Then you need to consider input capacity. If you're printing a lot you'd probably appreciate high-capacity input bins (so you don't have to walk over to the printer every hour to refill the tray).
What about duplex? Do you want to be able to print double-sided (either now or in the future)?
Since this is a small office, do you want other multi-function features such as fax/scan/copier?
These questions (and probably more) will go a long way to identifying the 'right' printer for your needs. As it stands, though, there really isn't enough data to offer any advice.

3rd party wireless cards

Are there any drivers for wireless cards from a 3rd party, say netgear, had one laying around, tried to use it, I did try orangeware.com, but that didnt work, software did, hardware didnt, any Ideas?
my mobo has no provisions for airport.

Got an 802.11g PCMCIA card from MacWireless.com for my Ti Powerbook G4. Works fine; no problems with either Tiger or Leopard.
Per instructions, I started by removing the Airport 802.11b card that came with the G4. MacWireless accepted it for a rebate, which made the new card free. Easier than selling the Airport myself.
