Trying to get wireless

stupid question here, but i'm trying to get wireless with my mac, and don't know what card would be compatable.
i bought the machine back in 2002 when the digital connection became availble.
if someone could give me some info, i'd greatly appreciate it.
thanks much.

Click on your Apple upper left and then about this Mac and then click more info and then choose Airport card and when this opens it will tell you the card type, either Airport or Aiport Extreme Card. And welcome to the discussions.

Trying to get wireless remote to work with Flash Presentation... HELP!!!

I know almost nothing about Flash or Powerpoint. I was given a Flash presentation I need that I'd like to show at meetings using my new wireless remote, but I can't get it to move forward & backward between slides (works fine using arrow keys on the laptop keyboard - Windows XP Pro). The remote works fine with Powerpoint presentations, so I know the remote is ok. Is there some setting/command I need to allow my Flash presentation to work with my remote, or do I need a special remote? I already talked to the remote tech support (Keyspan/TrippLite) and they were totally unfamiliar wirh Flash and simply said that their unit works with Powerpoint as advertised, which was true, but they couldn't help me with Flash presentations. Can anyone out there help me?? Thanks very much!

Hi, and thanks so much for responding! I have the Keyspan PR-EZ1 and I don't think it allows me to "map" keys since when I called their tech support, they didn't mention that as an option. I'm really new at this, but I just noticed - as I was sitting right here on my browser earlier, I pressed the remote's slide-changing keys and my web page scrolled up and down! Just now I tried it and my insertion point cursor moved up and down! So I guess these buttons must be "mapped" to the up and down arrows. How nice it would be if I could somehow figure out how to switch them to the left and right arrows. A colleague of mine told me just an hour or so ago that when she bought her Logitech wireless remote, it had the same problem with Flash presentations. But one day, out of the blue, it "fixed" itself and now does Flash fine. (I didn't ask her if it still does Powerpoint though.) She has no idea how or why and doesn't care. Her remote is a discontinued model though (sigh). Anyway, maybe it'll be worth my while to make another call to tech support and ask about key mapping. Maybe a more advanced model might allow this function. Thanks for the spark!

Ipod touch trying to get wireless with dsl verizon

does anyone know how to get password or what password i would use to input into my ipod touch to access my dsl wireless router from verizon

Hey ronac75 on the router label there should be a WEP Key on your wireless router which is what you would as the password you have to enter it as exactly as seen on the router for Windows PC and OS 10 for MACs.

Any ideas on how to get my Mac to print wirelessly using Canon MG5320?? Worked first time using my PC but having trouble with Mac. Please help! Kids need this computer for school. Thanks!

Do you have this manual?

Trying to get wireless with tew-424ub on my iMac

I have an older iMac that is running 10.4. I went out and got a TrentNET tew-424ub because I was reading online that I could get it to work. Now, I installed it and the driver on this website (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/21816) but still does not work. Is there something I am doing wrong? Do I need to do some sort of hardware scan or something? Has anyone gotten this to work? I would LOVE to give her this machine.
Thanks so much!

Sorry, cannot help you with that particular wireless USB adapter. Generally speaking, a USB adapter is not going to work properly unless suitable Mac driver software is installed (and there have been many reports about difficulties). A working adapter driver stands the risk of being affected by a subsequent Mac OS update. So, with wireless USB, be prepared to experiment.
If the iMac model allows it, it is usually a better idea to install an AirPort (or, if applicable, AirPort Extreme) card.
A wireless Ethernet bridge can be a good alternative. Examples include Belkin F5D7330, D-Link DWL-G810 or DWL-G820, Linksys WET54G or WGA600N, and Netgear WGE111. A wireless Ethernet bridge connects to the Ethernet port of the computer. No drivers are normally required, and the unit can be used under almost any operating system. The bridge (sometimes called a gaming adapter) can also be used to make other Ethernet devices wireless. WPA security may or may not be supported for a certain model or a version of a model (a firmware update may be sufficient), so study the specifications before you buy.

Trying to get wireless internet to work, broadcom

I installed broadcom-wl via aur and everything in that sense worked. However now that I run iwconfig the wlan0 does not show up, I checked so that ssb and b43 is not running by doing lsmod however I also noticed also that lib80211 isn't in that list (if that could have something to do with it, dunno) whereas lib80211_crypt-tkip is. I'm sure the router is running and all as I'm currrently connected wired to it.

Problem getting wireless device to show up

I have a Lenovo T61 thinkpad, and I'm trying to get wireless functioning on it.
Doing lspci | grep -i net gets me:
Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)
Apparently this is a well supported card and all that. I've loaded the iwl3945 module into my rc.conf modules list, and I've even modprobed it to ensure it's activated. Unfortunately, it refuses to give me a wlan0 interface. Whenever I do ifconfig -a or iwconfig or ls /sys/class/net all I get are eth0 and lo. I've tried adding the wlan daemon and removing it, neither seems to help. I have been hitting a brick wall for hours with google etc, so I figured I'd just ask. Maybe I am not searching for the right thing.

dmesg gives
iwl3945: failed to register network device (error -2)
If this is a problem with firmware, I cannot find any place on the wifi wiki that explains how to install it or where to get it from. All I see in the iwl3945 section is a warning that it needs to be installed. Since I can use this wireless card just fine on the Ubuntu partition, I figured the firmware was already installed. Is firmware loaded and unloaded every time the OS boots?
Edit:
OK so I just realized that iwlwifi-3945-ucode was the firmware, I have already installed this but had thought this was the driver package. Apparently the driver is already in the kernel by default. So basically, I am back to square one. There is something other than firmware and drivers that are causing this problem.

I am trying to setup wireless using my old dome Airport ExtremeBase station. I had previously used it about 5 years ago when I had dial up but have now switche to DSL with Windstream. I can not get connecte as ABS keeps trying to dial up(the phone number)

I am trying to setup wireless using my old dome Airport Extreme Base station. I had previously used it about 5 years ago when I had dial up but have now switched to DSL with Windstream. I can not get connected as the ABS keeps trying to dial up(the old phone number). When I tried to change my network settings an annoying popup window says "your network settings have been changed by another application'. I have no idea what the message is all about and when I close this window it immediately pops up again and prevents me -as far as I can tell -from changing my Airport settings? I need advice on how to get this wireless setup done. Maybe a reset? or something else? I have the DSL phone line plugged into WIndsteam Seimens Speedstream 4200 modem and then the ethernet (yellow) wire from the WIndsteam Seimens Speedstream 4200 modem to the port on the dome that is a circle of dots.

1)Can you explain how using the AEBS as a bridge will work with the Seimens Speedstream4200?
As a bridge, the AEBS will basically become a wireless access point. This will allow the AEBS to provide a wireless network, but still allow the Speedstream to provide NAT & DHCP services for the wireless clients connected to the AEBS. If the AEBS was left as a router, you would have a double-NAT condition which isn't necessary bad in itself, but would create a second subnet. That would make it more difficult for clients connected to the AEBS to access clients connected to the Speedstream.
2) Is there a link that will guide me through the steps to set the AEBS as a bridge?
You can easily reconfigure the AEBS as a bridge using the AirPort Utility.
ref: AirPort Utility > Select the AEBS > Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
3)Can I just connect the DSL phone line to the AEBS and eliminate the Speedstream4200?
Unfortunately no. The AEBS does not have a built-in DSL modem. You will still need the Speedstream to provide this function.

Trying to get a WRT54GX2 wireless router working with a W...

Trying to get a WRT54GX2 wireless router working with a WPC54G wireless card. The laptop and desktop both will access the Internet and work when hardwired through the router's Ethernet ports. When trying to access wireless, the Laptop shows to be connected to the router and also to Internet, but Internet Explorer can not access any websites. Suggestions? Thanks.

what ip address does the laptop get ?? ensure that the laptop is not set for a static ip add....and it gets an ip add from the router ..

I am trying to get an AP to associate with a wireless Controller but keep getting this error message (%CAPWAP-3-ERRORLOG:Could not resovle CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTRPLLER)

I am trying to get an AP to associate with a wireless Controller but keep getting this error message (%CAPWAP-3-ERRORLOG:Could not resovle CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTRPLLER)
I can ping through to the WLC and the AP.

Thanks a lot Loe for the Feedback. The issue was not my configuration but rather the type of Wireless LAN controller I have, the WLC does not support my AP's. I have a Cisco 520 series WLC and got to know they only work with the 500 series AP's. my AP's are 1130 series meaning i have to get another controller or change the APs.
thanks once again..

There are a number of extremly dubious sites which claim to offer Drivers for common Hardware, but actually are phishing for identies and credit card numbers and candidates to join a bot-net.
Make absolutely certain you load drivers ONLY from the manufacturer's web site.

Trying to get my apple laptop to connect to wireless network

I have an Airport Express (AE) and have successfully set up a wireless network in which 3 other computers (my work laptop, my wife's work laptop, mother-in-law's laptop) are all able to connect to this wireless network.
However, I have been unsuccessful in trying to get my apple laptop to connect to the same wireless network.
I'd really like to unchain our apple laptop from my office.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Doesn't your home network name appear in your Airport menulet?

How can I get Wireless N 5MHZ Capabilities Dual Band up to 300MHZ on my DV7 Laptop?

How can I get Wireless N 5MHZ Capabilities Dual Band up to 300MHZ on my DV7 Laptop?
Question for 4/18 experts ...
Or specifically, how can I replace my wireless card on a DV7-6B32US and upgrade to Intel Centrino 6230?
I have a relatively new DV7-6B32US puchased on 11/2011. Still under warranty. purchased 2 of the laptops. (also own 3 hp desktops and 1 HP All in One)
Existing card is wireless N but does not support 5GHZ or dual band. It is Broadcom 4313 wifi card and I am just realizing that the Broadcom card does not do the dual band 5GHZ wireless N. I have Linksys e4200 router which supports 5GHZ and dual band speeds up to 300 Mbps.
I called tech support and with their help identified Intel Centrino 6230 as the correct upgrade, and with their help ordered 631956-001. In the Maintenance Manual for DV7 laptop, this part number was listed for Intel Centrino 6230. Turns out HP sends an Intel Wireless N 1030 card, which is no better than my existing card. I called HP and they acknowledged that some manuals use part number 631956-001 for Centrino 6230 and some use 631956-001 for INtel 1030. So HP support said they would give refund but case manager was of no help in solving the upgrade problem. Said it was unavailable but here is your money back.
So after more searching, I see others have used part number 636672-001 to order Intel Centrino 6230, specifically for HP ProBook 4530s, 4230s, 4730s. And if I use part number 636672-001 and go thru parts store at HP, I can purchase it.
But will it work??
First, will the Intel Centrino 6230 with part number 636672-001 from HP parts, work in my HP DV7-6B32US, even though the part number is NOT listed in the Maintenance and Service Guide for my specific laptop. I see postings about whitelists and changing bios, etc, and am hoping someone can provide some guidance. I have been thru 2 tech support calls and one case manager and have gotten 3 different feedback from HP, from yes it will work and ordering the part, to buy it on amazon, to it will not work and here is your money back.
Second, I see some postings about Centrino 6230 and multiple antenna's. When I replaced the Broadcom 4313 with the Intel 1030 card, I simply unattached 2 wires and reattached the wires. And it worked. I am wondering if the reason HP doesn't list the 6230 card for DV7 is that DV7 does not have the antennas required to support 6230. Does the Centrino 6230 require 3 antennas?
Thanks for any suggestions. The existing cards do work but I paid extra for the Linksys e4200 Router and just assumed a winter 2011 $700 laptop from HP would use the latest wireless n technology, otherwise I would just keep existing cards.

I have went thru the exact same problems trying to upgrade the wireless card in my DV7. It is very frustrating that the wireless card can't be upgrade to one that supports 5Ghz. Here is my post from the network forum. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Wireless-Internet-Home/Unsupported-Wireless-LAN-6230/td-p/1419595 Doesn't sound like it is possible to upgrade to the Centrino 6230 without it being added the the "white list". Sound like HP doesn't update the list after shipping the notebook. I feel your pain. HP needs to help out the consumer in upgrading the wireless cards. I see we are not the only ones that have had this problem.
