  • AirPlay speakers...where's the 802.11n??

    So I'm in the market to get some whole home audio going in my house.  I've researched all of the various methods to do so (wired + receiver, airport express + speaker + amp, airplay speakers, bluetooth, etc) and I think I'm going to settle on getting AirPlay speakers.  I just don't want to mess with wiring everything up and doing the AirPort Express thing....plus AirPlay speakers are actually cheaper than doing anything else.  Granted you don't get the flexibility, but it's still a better budget decision. 
    In looking for some good AirPlay speakers, the only budget options ($150 or so) are Phillips and iHome.  I've found both on eBay for around $80 a pop depeding on the version.  Anyway....what's the deal with the AirPlay speakers only having 802.11b/g?  I was getting ready to pull the trigger, but now I'm thinking I won't because of 802.11n becoming the standard and b/g will be going out the window soon.  My wifi router supports the legacy frequencies, but I don't want to buy speakers and then in 2 years they are obsolete.  I know I know, go with the airport express route.  Well I'm open to suggestions at this point, but I'm just curious as to why the speaker manufacturer's are bundling b/g into their NEW products?

    I had a similar concern: an airplay speaker only support 11g, not 11n.  I did some study and made my move and hopefully it helps by sharing what I did.
    Study:
    The major chip inside airplay speakers comes from one single vendor: SMSC (lately got bought by Microchip).  It offers 11b/g and not 11n.  No firm schedule on 11n, it takes time to make a speaker from a chip
    Most 11n routers support 11b/g too.  So playing music to 11g airplay speakers shall not be a problem; but it will affect your internet speed as some old routers will downgrade to 11g (which is 54Mbps, not too bad).
    The new 11ac routers with multi-bands (2x2 or 3x3) can be a solution to this with ability to have separate channel for 11g airplay and other channel for 11ac internet browsing.
    My Purchase:
    I did not buy any airplay speaker as it is over $100 my budget.  Instead, I bought Yamaha PDX-60 dongle speaker which uses propietery RF technology which happened on sale at Amazon at that time.  I did a check at Amazon store as I write and they are gone already.  (relief: as I do not want to be sounded like sales :-)
    Hope it helps//

  • Where can I buy the 802.11n updater?

    I want to buy the 802.11n updater. I'm at work on my PC and can't find a URL on Apple's website for it. I just want to put it on my usbkey disk and take it home to my mac.
    How can I buy this update? Surely it directs you to a webpage.

    I found it by searching in the store for the 802.11n enabler.
    Try this url for your self - http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/6064003/wo/jw5Cg OTRI0pz2wMO2GGMPxSaNqD/2.0.21.1.0.8.25.7.11.0.3

  • 802.11n Enabler does not work!

    I have a MacBookPro with Core Duo. I bought an AirportExtreme Basestation and installed the software... it showed me that it also installed the 802.11n Enabler. BUT: when I go to the network utility program and select "en1" it still only shows a/b/g compatibility. I re-installed a few time, but it wouldn't change.
    This, of course, has also the effect that when selecting the 5GHz 802.11n at the basestation, my computer wouldn't find the basestation at all (have to reset it afterwards).

    The 802.11n enabler works in Macs with the Core 2 Duo processors, not the Core Duo. I understand that you can upgrade the wireless card by buying a replacement from Apple.
    There are other threads here that describe doing this.

  • 802.11n* Enabler will not install

    hey guys.
    I have purchased my copy of the 802.11n* Enabler for my 20" iMac Core 2 Duo 2GHz, but I keep getting a message saying "Your computer does not meet the hardware requirements for this update.".
    My iMac meets all of the requirments as far as I know (Leopard 15.5)
    I also tried installing it on my Macbook (Tiger 14.9) but I get the same message.
    any thoughts as to why this is and how I can fix it??
    thanks

    Airport Extreme refers to my wireless card build it right, and not my router (which is not an airport, but is an "n").
    Apple uses the term "AirPort Extreme" for the built-in wireless on the newer Macs so it tends to get confusing when they use the same term for their base stations. In this case, the "n" enabler is a firmware update to the built-in AirPort Extreme in your iMac. Similarly the "AirPort Extreme Update 2007-002" is a software update for this same built-in device. All firmware updates to the base station itself are done through the AirPort Utility.
    I'm not sure why you are having difficulty updating your iMac as it appears, according to your description, to be eligible. To double-check, that it may already be installed take a look at this Apple article: How to tell if 802.11n-enabling software is installed

  • 802.11n enabler not installing on Leopard

    MACBOOK PRO getting error (after re-purchasing the 2 dollar 802.11n enabler) on Leopard
    Tried to install and it tells me cannot install on this hard drive
    Help!!!!!

    If you have Leopard installed, the enabler must be included in the install because I followed the directions listed on that page...
    +Before purchasing the 802.11n Enabler software, please check to make sure that your Mac does not already have the 802.11n enabler already installed.+
    +Open Network Utility (found in the Applications > Utilities folder)+
    +Under the Info Tab, choose Network Interface (en1)+
    +In the section "Model: Wireless Network Adapter," if it says (802.11a/b/g/n), you already have the 802.11n enabler installed. If it says (802.11a/b/g), you do not have the 802.11n enabler installed.+
    I looked and mine says a/b/g/n so its already installed and I didn't download that enabler. You may way want to try uninstalling it. Hope that helps, good luck
    edit: i have leopard installed as well, forgot to mention that.

  • Aiport extrem 802.11n enabler doesn't work

    Hi everybody
    I purchased a belkin N1 Wireless router. This allows the n connection and therefore I also purchased the 802.11n enabler.
    The problem is, that this enabler says that I doesn't have the required hardware.
    I have a MacBook Pro (Intel CoreDuo). What did I wrong?
    Can anybody help me there?
    Thanks in advance
    PS: I also installed AirPort Extreme Update 2007-002

    MacBooks with Core 2 Duo processors are eligible for the 802.11n update, but not the earlier MacBooks with the Core Duo processors.

  • 802.11n enabler (AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001/2007-001 update)

    Hi,
    I'm thinking of getting time capsule and then getting the 802.11n enabler.
    On the UK apple store(http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=17BDE0AD&fnode= home/shopmac/mac_accessories/airportwireless&nplm=D4141) it states i need the AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001, but I can't find it.
    On the US store (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?find=en abler) it states i need the AirPort Extreme Update 2007-002 update. I found that one and downloaded it but when trying to install it says "This volume does not meet the requirements for this update".
    What do I need to to get this update??
    Do I already have it??
    Am I even able to get 802.11n??
    Any help will be welcomed
    For clarification these are my specs taken from system profiler.
    Model Name: iMac
    Model Identifier: iMac5,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
    Memory: 2 GB

    So it looks like I can't get 802.11n on my mac then. Oh well, good excuse for a new mac.
    The apple store is quite misleading then it says you need either:
    MacBook Pro with Intel Core 2 Duo
    MacBook with Intel Core 2 Duo
    Mac Pro with AirPort Extreme option
    iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo (except the 17-inch, 1.83GHz iMac)
    I have the latter iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo (2.16Ghz), will probably get time capsule anyway though.

  • 802.11n enabler won't install on 10.5.3

    Greetings,
    I just did a system re-install (upgraded my HD) today. When I was still running Tiger, I bought and installed the 802.11n enabler. Today, the enabler won't install. I am now running OS 10.5.3. I made sure the appropriate Airport Extreme updates are applied.
    The error message I get is "You cannot install AirPort Extreme 802.11n Enabler on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
    Any ideas?

    Very simple, thanks very much.
    A nicer error message could have been "enabler not necessary, 802.1n is functional under Leopard."
    Thanks again!

  • Installing 802.11n enabler?

    I have just purchased a new Airport Extreme (802.11n) and installed the Airport Utility included on the accompanying CD. The installation process said it was also installing the 802.11n enabler software. However when I run Network Utility, my network interface is still listed as "Wireless Network Adapter (802.11 a/b/g)".
    I noticed that the installer DID install a file called "AirPort Extreme 802.11n Enabler.pkg" on my hard drive. But when I launch this manually I get the error: "Your computer does not meet the hardware requirements for this update".
    My machine is a 15" MacBook Pro with a Core Duo 1.83GHz processor. My understanding is that this should be compatible with the "n" enabler (I believe apple's specs say all MacBook Pros are compatible). Why isn't it being enabled correctly? Is it not compatible for some reason?
    Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    Hello tizzdogg. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Sorry, but your MacBook Pro must have the Intel Core 2 Duo chip to be eligible for the "n" enabler.

  • Can't perform 802.11n enabler upgrade on MacBook!

    I wonder if anybody could help?!
    I've just bought the 802.11n enabler software for my 2Ghz MacBook. I have installed all updates suggested by Software Update, and when I run the 802.11n enabler it says that my hardware is not compatible with the upgrade.
    I tried to manually install the 2007-002 and 2007-003 Airport Extreme updates, but when I run these I am not able to use them because it says the hard disc is not a valid volume.
    Is there something I am missing?
    Thanks in advance!

    I think you'll find that your MacBook is not compatible.
    The only hardware that works are Macs that shipped with the 802.11n hardware already installed.
    The compatible hardware were all MacPros and iMacs and laptops with Core 2 Duos. The Core Duo machines were earlier models.

  • Question about 802.11n enabler

    Hey folks. I just purchased the 802.11n enabler, however, i don't see any improvement in terms of speed or connection stablity. I checked network ulity, and it says it's installed, so.. what's the deal?

    You are right. 802.11n works only when there is a network of the devices that support 802.11n, whether they are Macs, PCs, or AppleTV. For the Internet connection in the US, not in South Korea, the speed of 802.11g is more than enough, except that 802.11n has a longer range than 802.11g.

  • AirPort Extreme 802.11n* Enabler for Mac

    I just downloaded the enabler for my 20" iMac and when I try to install it, it states "Your computer does not meet the hardware requirements for this update." It's my understanding that only the 17" iMac and the Mac mini aren't supported. Anyone else experience this?

    If you recently got you imac and it's a core 2 duo, check if you already have it installed using this quote form appleinsider.com
    The company recommends that customers check to make sure that their Mac does not already have the 802.11n enabler installed before purchasing the software patch. To do so, Intel Mac owners should open the "Network Utility" application (found in the Applications > Utilities folder), choose "Network Interface (en1)" under the "Info" tab, and then inspect the information provided under "Model: Wireless Network Adapter." If it says "(802.11a/b/g/n)," the Mac already has the 802.11n enabler installed. If it says (802.11a/b/g), the Mac does not have the 802.11n enabler installed.

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n Enabler software

    Today I purchased an Airport Extreme and was able to set it up quickly
    on my iMac (2.15 GHz Intel Core Duo). I was also able to connect to it
    on my MacBook (2.0 GHz Core Duo). In looking at the connection information
    from the Airport the MacBook is connected using 802.11a.
    The Apple Store says that the Airport Extreme includes the 802.11n enabler software, but
    I was only able to find the software package for controlling the router.
    I must be missing something. Any help would be appreciated.

    Sorry but Core Duo Macs do not have 802.11n hardware.
    Only Core 2 Duo Macs have the 802.11n hardware.
    The enabler is on the disc but isn't compatible with your Macs.
