Searching for USB Wireless for OS 9/X

Hello,
I am in search of a wireless USB adapter which works for OS 9 and also OS X. Can someone provide me with the name of some vendors who still carry 802.11b usb adapters for Mac OS 9?
Thanks.

Bluetooth for Mac on an USB stick
I used this for many years for connecting to my old desktop G4, and i guess i might have used it on OS 9.2.x too. Used it with my "fancy" *Nokia 6230i* with the impressive 2G network (ref- http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_6230i-1087.php), mostly for photo transfers, but also with BluePhoneElite managing my SMS messages, backing them up to my Mac, the important ones. Worked like a dream, mostly.
Just to day i removed it from my USB HUB to day, where it was still connected to an active up and going G4, where it worked well also in OS X up to OS 10.4.11 (haven't updated the G4 further, since it only is in use besides my new iMac.)
Point is, this is a version 1 USB, but it also works with USB 2 devices, as is my experience with USB 1 and 2. I may run USB 1 on USB 2 devices, but only with the speed of the version standard.
The USB Bluetooth stick i used is: D-Link Model No: DBT-120. It got the MacUser (magazine) awards of 2002. I did a search at search.yippy.com (D-Link DBT-120) and found it here http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=34
...Since my early version it's updated to USB 2 standard, but it may well work still for older Macs running OS 9.x.
Further search for buying some to day showed Amazon on the top of th pirice list, at $ 79.95!!!
- On the D-Link homepage you also find links for reatilers, and then the prices varies from $23 to $ 40, shown in the javascript pop-up window for the retailers.

    Can i use a Usb wireless for my ibook?

    Hi, Kimberly. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If you mean a USB wireless dongle, the answer is yes (as long as it is Mac-compatible).

  • USB Wireless for IMAC 500 g3 recommendations (10.2)

    I've been reading the posts on this issue; I have a G3 Imac 500 running 10.2 (w/o airport card) and I have a Airport Express running my new Intel Imac. I want my g3 wireless aswell but don't want to much much $ into it. Airport cards are way to expensive and I don't want another big device next to my G3, therefore I want to get an USB device. People are saying they aren't working that well, but if someone could recommend on that would work with my set up that would be great. If the device is available at larger retailers, I could always return it.
    Thanks

    Hope this of help to you.

  • Want Wired for Internet, Wireless for file transfers on home network

    I live in Dubai where internet in my house is connected straight from an ethernet port in the wall in numerous rooms. I have one wired connection hardwired from port to airport extreme which creates a wireless network for my laptops for internet.. apple tv et al. (home network 10.0.1.1 etc)
    In the other room i have a mac mini which is directly hardwired to a second ethernet port. I use this machine for hard wired internet as its essentially downloading continuously for work.
    Looking at network setting states..
    Wired connection states in network details : (To be used purely for hardwired internet)
    router address of (91.74.X.1)
    and ethernet port ip (91.74.x.21) 
    Wireless connection states in network details : (To be used purely for connection to home wireless network and streaming of files within internal networks)
    Router  (10.0.0.1)
    IP4V address is  (10.0.1.4) 
    Subset mask is 255.255.255.0
    I would like to force the mac mini to only use the wired ethernet connection for surfing/downloading, and also have an IP from the home network (10.0.1.2 etc) purely for file sharing/streaming with other computers on my home network. 
    Is this possible ?

    NAS is the right tool for this job.
    It is expensive but the market leaders.. synology and QNAP have really been doing it for long time and the ability to do file store/sharing and most importantly backup in these is excellent. Pick the best you can afford.. and buy disks that are in the recommended list. ie the cheapest are not always the best.. indeed they seldom are.
    Plan very carefully for rotation of USB drives (easy and cheap now with 4TB single drives). Rotate backups with offsite location on weekly basis.
    I would buy a 4 disk case.. you can use 4x3TB which are the best value at the moment.. that gives you 9TB of storage.. plus redundancy for a dead drive.
    Alternatives are using a Mac Mini as a server.. with a large stack of disks on it.. generally should be thinking thunderbolt if you want speed. Hideously expensive though for now.
    You can buy an Extreme or TC.. either would work well. TC allows you easy TM backups without using your NAS..
    Edit very large files on the computer. ie copy to computer.. edit.. copy back to the NAS.
    Editing very large files over wireless.. not good. Multiply that by mutliple computers.. not even fair.
    Copy a large project to the computer.. work on it.. copy back to the NAS.. in the meantime Time Machine should be able to take care of incremental backups.
    There are heaps and heaps of solutions.. as long as it is logical and easy to you.. and covers what you need.
    Don't skimp.. spending a $1000 for a NAS with disks.. plus extra for the backup disks.. that represents how many day's work for you plus anyone you have helping.. $$$$ ????
    A mini as a server is a good alternative.. You don't need to run server OS.. but share files to the network. Very hard to build the capacity of the NAS though.
    And a Mac Pro is now a joke without internal slots and cages for drives. (nice machine but wrong for this).
    And Apple have nothing in between.. a short tower case.. been missing for a long long time.

  • How do I create a disk image for windows 7, using a windows computer for USB bootcamp for mac?

    Hi There, I have just bought a new 2013 iMac.
    Spec: 3.4 GHz intel core i5, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Memory , NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB Graphics with OS X 10.9.4.
    How can I create a 'disk image' from a windows 7 professional 64bit installation DVD using a windows laptop with windows 7 Operating system on? I want to transfer this 'disk image' (ISO?) to a USB ready for installing windows onto my 2013 iMac using bootcamp?  I want to use bootcamp from a USB as I have no disk drive for the installation DVD on my iMac. I hope all this is clear.
    Thank you. Joe

    Yes, that's correct, at least not directly. You can create a blank disk image, copy the file to the mounted disk image, then burn the image to a CD/DVD.
    Open Disk Utility and select Blank Disk Image from the New menu. Provide a name, Save location, and select the image size from the drop down menu. Leave Encryptions at None and Format as read/write. Click on the Create button.
    After the image file appears the "removable" disk should be automatically mounted. If not double-click on it to mount it. A "removable" disk icon will appear. Drag the file you want to place on the disk image to the "removable" disk icon. The eject the "removable" disk icon. Now select the disk image file in the DU left side list and click on the Burn icon in the DU toolbar. Be sure to have a blank disc ready.
    The above is actually the "long" way to do this. A much easier way is to simply insert a blank CD or DVD into the optical drive. The Finder will pop up a dialog asking what to do. Select the option to mount on the Desktop. You will now see a disc icon on the Desktop. Drag the file you want to burn to the CD/DVD, right-click or CTRL-click on the disc icon and select Burn from the contextual menu.

  • Using a extender for my wireless for the iTouch

    I am looking for an extender for my wi-fi on the iTouch. I saw the Netgear WGXB102NA. Does anyone use this and does it work? I have the Linksys WRT54G. I have tried to go into the online setup, but it doesn't work. I have tried and tried. I know you can set up for repeater mode from there. I thought I would give this extender a try.

    Thanks for the input.
    I recently got a Netgear router because I did have problems with the wi-fi being spotty. I tried to access the online page to configure and update the firmware, but it didn't work. I still can't access my online configuration with the Netgear, but it's less spotty. I have tried many different things to power-cycling and etc, but I still can't get in there. Tech support can't figure it out either, unless I call them, and that will probably take two hours.

  • Visual C program for USB 8473 for periodic frame transmissi​on

    The periodic transmission program provided along with the installation "CAN Transmit Periodic" fails to transmit the frames periodically. Is an example program in C available to transmit the CAN frames periodically?

    Hi Frascal,
    Have you tried with another computer? Is the behavior similar with other USB Port ?
    If USB 2.0 support is needed, try to use a PCI USB card which supports USB 2.0.
    Which USB Chipset do you use? open up the device manager and find the USB controller, to check if the hardware use a USB 1.1 or USB 2.0.

  • [SOLVED] Driver for my USB Wireless LAN Adapter

    I have a USB Wireless LAN Adapter for my desktop so I can share the network at home with others，but I found that I can only use my USB Wireless LAN Adapter in install environment. The driver for USB Wireless LAN Adapter just disappear after installation，the operating system could only identify the device but could not  drive it.
    Are there some packages not install for this problem or some configuration of the system is wrong?
    thanks

    have you searched the forums? There are a bunch of threads on the ath9k module not working correctly with the latest kernel.
    That's why it works in the live cd environment but stops working once you update and login to your actual installation.

  • My Bluetooth USB wireless transmitter for my portable speakers has quit working.  Preferences says, "The selected device has no output controls", it used to work just fine.  Can anybody help?

    My Bluetooth USB wireless transmitter for my portable BT speakers has quit working.  Preferences says, "The selected device has no output controls", it used to work just fine.  The internal and a pair of wired external speakers work fine.  Can anybody help?

    Just tested something and it worked.
    If I put the headphones all the way in, the mac recognizes it as a digital output.
    But if i don't put it all the way in, it recognizes it as headphones and works perfectly.
    It's probably this crappy headphones.
    If anyone has the same problem, try this out.

  • HT4628 After installing the new OS from apple (10.8.2) my macbook pro keeps disconnecting from the internet.  I am connecting with an Airport Extreme and while it shows I am connected, every 20-45 seconds its searching for a wireless connection.  Any sugg

    I guess I posted my question as a title but that is my issue.  My airport is connected via wireless yet it keeps searching for a wireless connection, hence I am experiencing bad latency and disconnection issues.  Anyone know a solution?

    I have the same problem. And in my case it happens when i transfer "large" files over the WiFi. When i send an MP3 filer over Skype i loose connection. When i transfer updates between my iPhone 5 / iPad 3 and iMac with Mountain Lion i loose connection. When i have a video conference i loose connection. You get the idea.
    There is usually like 30 people using their own router on the 2.4 GHz band near by. None on the 5 GHz band which i use. But when my WiFi freezes on ML i can only see my own router. And i am also connected to it. But all my neighbors WiFi routers are now invisble to me. My network stalled.
    What i do is that i disconnect my WiFi and then reconnect it again. Thank fixes it. But all my transfers and what not has been dropped. And i have to start all over - and the WiFi will stall again.
    While my WiFi is frozen on the iMac with ML i have no problem using the same router on the same 5 GHz band with my iPhone 5 or iPad 3.
    Downgrading the AirPort Extreme to 7.6.1 from 7.6.3 helped a bit. Now i only loose connection a few times each day.
    It is a software error in ML i am sure of. A driver maybe. But i am suspecting that it is either a speed-sync error or an energy saving error. Like the network card turns of in the middle of a file transfer to save enrgy - maybe.
    When i stream movies from my iMac to my Apple TV or  3 there is no problem at all. It is so odd.

  • USB wireless Modems for MAC

    Hi Apple users,
    Could an one tell me which USB wireless internet Modems support MAC OS X leopard 10.5.6 macbooks? Could you also tell me which one is the best and efficient USB modem for the MAC books? You help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Regards,
    Naresh

    You'll need to clarify what you're looking for. Do you need an actual phone-line modem? There are boxes you can connect to wirelessly and then dial out, but they're not as popular as they used to be. Likewise, are you looking for a phone line modem for the MacBook? Apple has one they officially support -- I think it's actually made by US Robotics.
    What do you mean by "efficient"? Lowest power consumption? Best speed? Least heat?
    If you're looking for what the cable and DSL providers call a "modem", nobody can recommend one until they know what you plan to connect it to. Most of them are actually routers or bridges, and not real modems (modulator-demodulator).

  • N95 - Turn off the search for available wireless n...

    Hi,
    This is a strange problem - I think...
    My N95, will at randon times, and not very often, automatically search for and detect wireless networks in my area, which will then prompt me to select one.
    I have turned the Wireless LAN availability setting to never search for Wireless LANS - which was previously set to scan for networks every 5 minutes. (Under Tools-settings-connection-wireless LAN)
    The bizarre thing about it all, is that it will often automatically search and detect wireless networks when my phone has been on charge for a long period of time, and not normally at any other period of time.
    Does anybody know if there is a further setting somewhere that I could change? or perhaps point me in the right direction, but I do realise that this could well be a unique problem.
    Any help on this would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks.Message Edited by t2303 on 07-May-200710:58 PM

    Hello. I have a wireless network at home and have connected my N95 in the past.
    I did too turned off the ability to search for Wireless Networks from the STAND BY SCREEN but I have noticed that an icon with 4 squares appeared. I was puzzled and went through the manual to check what it meant. It meant that there were available wireless networks in the area close by, obviously my home network.
    Note: since my N95 connects automatically to my network it never asked for a password or connection.
    If the above sounds like your problem try the following:
    Press the menu button and navigate to
    Tools -> Settings -> Connection -> Wirelesl LAN
    and set "Show WLAN availability" to NEVER.
    This helped me on saving on battery.
    I hope this helps. Good luck.

  • I need a wireless usb adaptor for a Power Mac G4... any suggestions? (needs to be compatible)

    I need a wireless usb adaptor for a Power Mac G4... any suggestions? (needs to be compatible)

    With Mac OS X 10.3 or higher, a number of USB Wi-Fi adapters would be possible to use. However, for an earlier operating system, a wireless Ethernet bridge (such as the examples below) can be a better (and sometimes the only) option. A wireless Ethernet bridge does not normally require special drivers, and can thus be used with almost any Ethernet-equipped computer.
