'Use Interference Robustness' option not showing in AirPort menulet

On my 1.67MHz AlBook I get this option, second from the bottom on the AirPort menulet. Not so on my TiBook. Both running 10.4.5. What gives?

Got you, many thanks, iFelix!
What I still don't understand is: does it affect the
Base Station's signal? or just the respective
computer's card?
From the Airport menulet, just the card.
You need to use the Airport Admin Utility (wireless options) to enable it on the base station.
And if it boosts the signal, how
come it reduces the range?
You can't boost the total power that a wireless card or base station uses.
Therefore if you increase the signal you have to sacrifice range.
If the total power was say 240, you could have strength 3, range 80 or strength 6 range 40.

  • Use Interference Robustness option disabling on restarts

    I don't know if this is a rare case, but I've been having a problem with the Interference Robustness option. I live in a under a lot of interference, so this option is vital for my internet connection to be as smooth as possible. Although, every time I restart my Mac, this option gets disabled. What can I do to alleviate the situation? Is this a OS X Tiger bug or something? It began to happen all the sudden after updating to the latest patch. Thank you.

    Anyone? Please help.

  • Use Interference Robustness?

    I'm temporarily operating in a place with a LOT of visible wireless access points. Airport is neatly automatically selecting channels, and I'm not noticing any problems, but I'm wondering about the "Use Interference Robustness" check item in the pull-down under the network selection place on the main menu bar.
    Can someone tell me what this does and how I might know if I need it? Any side effects? I've tried turning it on but I don't notice any change one way or the other.
    Thanks for any help!

    Link speed from Network Utility is 54MB either way, which is the best my MacBook and AP Express will do. Net Utility doesn't seem to have any real-time info on effective transfer speed. speakeasy.net/speedtest reported 800MB+ download, and 200MB+ upload, which I think is the most basic Cox Cable option in this area, and considerably less than the same hardware records at normal home base. Only a little use for peer-to-peer file sharing, so that's not a significant issue.
    Thanks!

  • Where is "Use Interference Robustness"?

    Hello,
    i miss the function "Use Interference Robustness" in Mac OS X Leopard!
    Without this i am losing constantly my Airport Connections.
    Can anybody help?

    Interference robustness has worked well for a number of people not using Apple Airport base stations (such as myself). As it turns out, I have an Airport Express that my iMac under Leopard will not recognize only 2 feet away. Naturally, under Tiger all is still well.
    Moving interference robustness under the advanced settings is a real problem for people without Airport base stations as it is now impossible to get to the settings without recognizing a base station.
    For example, I had turned on interference robustness during the two minute window that my Airport Express was recognized. Now, since Leopard is so spotty (sorry for the pun), I can't reliably test whether or not that setting helps at all. That said, I can report that my basic internet connection was practically nonexistent prior to implementing interference robustness on my iMac G4.
    I'm surprised at Apple for this one - Leopard has been been through what seems like extensive testing, and this pops up! And no response from Apple ...

  • USB Drive not showing in Airport Utility

    I have a USB HD formatted with Mac OS Extended (journaled) which I plugged in to my Airport Extreme and it does not show in Airport Utility.  Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    Power off the entire network
    Wait a few moments
    Start the modem first and continue starting devices one at time until everything is powered back up
    If the drive still does not show up.....and you are not using a powered USB hub....that may be needed
    Other stuff....verify that the USB cable is working correctly

  • Airport Express not showing in Airport Utility

    I am on a tripple play Fios modem wired to my 3rd gen. Airport Extreme to my Mac Pro running 10.6.8. My Airport Express which is plugged into my living room stereo (I have used successfully before) is not showing up in the Airport Utility and blinking amber endlessly. Unplugging and 10 sec. reset with the reset button, no difference. Please help.
                                                         W.W.

    I was able to install utility 5.6 (I am on 10.6.8) but when the Express showed up and I followed the instructions, I got this message at the end: I tried to attache the sceen shot from the message I got, It did not work: It says: "Nothings connected to the WAN port. Connect the broadband modem or network to the Ethernet WAN port"
    I never changed any Fios modem or Ethernet cables. Express is blinking.

  • Why is the airdrop and airplay option not showing in my iphone 4s ?

    airdrop and airplay option not showing

    That link is addressing only iOS 7 in general, not the iPhone 4S specifically. I have already answered your question here: airdrop and airplay option not showing iPhone 4S, iOS 7.1.2. It is the same answer as what wjosten have provided in this post. Air Drop is compatible with iPhone 5 and later.

    Why would the new trackpad options not show up after upgrading to Lion and downloading all of the updates? It's not as easy to get between full screen apps without the ability to swipe.

    2008. That's probably why. I didn't realize that it only supported a couple years back. You'd think they could fix something like that in the software...

  • I have airport express but it is not recognised by either my macbook pro or my ipod on my wireless network. It does not show in airport utility. Might I not have an airport card?

    I have airport express but it is not recognised by either my macbook pro or my ipod on my wireless network. It does not show in airport utility. Might I not have an airport card? How would I know. Airport utility in my mac says no other devices connected.

    I have airport express but it is not recognised by either my macbook pro or my ipod on my wireless network. It does not show in airport utility. Might I not have an airport card?
    If both your MacBook Pro and iPod are unable to "see" the Wi-Fi network provided by the AirPort Express, it is most likely NOT that you are missing an "airport card," but the Express may be the issue instead.
    One quick test is to see if either device can "see" other Wi-Fi networks. If they can, then you can definately rule both of them out as the issue.
    By default, the AirPort Express will broadcast an unsecured Wi-Fi network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. Can either device see this network? If not, then I would recommend that you perform a "factory default" reset on the Express, and then, check again.

  • The airport speaker option not showing on itunes

    I am connected wirelessly and can surf the net through the airport, but the speaker option is not showing on itunes. I have enabled it in the airport utility.

    In iTunes->Edit->Preferences->Devices, choose the "Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes" checkbox to display a speakers pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes window.

  • Mulitcast rate & interference robustness options?

    Is there any downside to setting the multicast rate of my new Airport Extreme N to the highest option and enabling interference robustness?
    I'm aware that the higher the multicast rate, the lower my range, but I'm usually in the same room as the router. Will this then improve my speeds when transferring large files to the usb-attached network drive or streaming music?

    Good question. Tuff to answer. Robustness will slow you up. If you don't have interference why use it. The downloads speed I would think it would not make a difference unless others were using your network.

  • Text Wrap options not showing in InDesign CS3

    Using InDesign CS3 on a Mac 10.4.  I've had this problem for a couple of months now and it's getting past the point of annoying.  When I open my text wrap options pallete it's blank even when I expand options.  I can see the text wrap icons in my header panel, but I no longer have options to change the right/left/top/bottom margins.  Just a general "add wrap" and "remove wrap".  Is there any way I can get my pallete back?  I've tried defaulting my tools, but still it does not show up.  I don't know what to do to get it back.

    Did you try resetting preferences? While pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files. If you don't get the message about deleting preferences, you weren't fast enough.
