Which airport card is in the PB G4 Power PC?

I hava a PowerBook G4 laptop (1.67, Power PC chip) non-intel, running 10.5.8. When I run profiler it reports an Airport Card
but does not tell me if it is "G" or "N" capable.  How can I find out?
If it is only "G" capable then I won't bother upping my Airport Express bridge to the new "N" version.

All G4 PowerBooks, that have 1.67GHz processors, came with the AirPort Extreme card. This card is capable of supporting either 802.11b or 802.11g wireless networks. It does not support 802.11n networks and cannot be firmware upgradeable to do so.
If you are looking to get 802.11n capability, you will need to use another solution, like a wireless USB adapter. One such adapter can be seen at Other World Computing (OWC).

  • IMac 17" G4 (Flat Panel) - Which Airport Card

    I have an iMac 17" G4 Flat Panel computer. The processor is 1.0 Ghz. I looked up on Apple's site which card it takes. This link is a bit confusing. It says the iMac G4 17" Flat Panel uses an original AirPort card, but then the next line says iMac 17" 1 Ghz uses an AirPort Extreme Card.
    Here is the link...

    Anyone know for sure?

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    If your processor speed is ≥1GHz then you have the correct card (Airport Extreme). If your iMac is ≤800MHz then you need the original Airport card.
    Make sure you have the card inserted fully in to the slot.
    let us know how you get on.

  • Which Airport card do I need for an iMac G4 Flat Screen 15"?

    Hi, I have an iMac G4 (flat screen, with silver arm and round base), 15".
    I'd be extremely grateful if someone could let me know which Airport card I need for this Mac and also whether or not I also require an adaptor. I have looked this up on the Apple site and also in 'The Flatscreen iMac for Dummies' book (I'm a complete technophobe, I'm afraid!), but am none the wiser.
    If possible, model numbers for the Airport card and adaptor that I do need would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Jeremy

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and click on More Info, or if you're running Mac OS 9, choose Apple System Profiler from the Apple menu. Check the speed of the computer's CPU; if it is below 1GHz, you need the regular AirPort card, with the AirPort Extreme card being used on newer iMacs. No iMac G4 requires an adaptor to use an AirPort card.

  • How to know which airport card?

    Hi, I have an iBook G4 with the small display; an acquiantance has the same laptop and she can use the wireless internet at our house no problem. Now I know I don't need a base station to be able to log into wireless but I don't know which airport card I should get; express, extreme etc ... any clues?
    thanks

    Rubens, Welcome to the discussion area!
    That's easy! Every iBook G4 (without built-in wireless) uses the AirPort Extreme card.

  • Which Airport card can I install in my iBook?

    Hi.
    I have a 12in iBook early 2004 model (1.07 GHz). Now I want to buy and install an Airport card. Can I use an Airport Extreme card on this computer or do I need to get an earlier version of the Airport card? The web site says: 'The AirPort Extreme Card can be installed only in computers that are AirPort Extreme ready. AirPort Extreme Cards cannot be used in AirPort-ready computers with an AirPort Card slot'.
    Basically, which airport card is compatible with my iBook? I have not found any info on this web site.
    Thanks,
    Oskar

    All iBook G4's (except of course those that come with the wireless interface factory-installed) use the Apple Airport Extreme card.

  • Which airport card to install on g4 imac (17")

    i just bought a new imac and want to put my g4 imac in another room. i'd like to install an airport card so i can access the internet through the time machine (which is connected to the new imac). i'm having trouble figuring out which card to get--airport card or airport extreme? i'm not even certain my g4 can take an airport card? how do i know which card to get? please help. thanks.

    So when you run System Profiler and look in Network->AirPort Card there is information there? If nothing is there your iMac G4 does not have the card installed. None of the iMac G4s had the card automatically installed when they left the factory. If your iMac G4 has the card, then someone installed it later or they ordered it as a build option.
    If the card is installed and if AirPort is enabled in System Preferences-> Network preference pane, you should see an AirPort icon in the menu bar. If you click on this icon you will see a list of networks that your iMac has detected. Does your network appear there?

  • Help...Can't figure out which AirPort card I need...

    I need help figuring out which is the correct AirPort card for my old emac. (see specs below)
    I don't know if this model is too old. I don't know how to tell if the emac is "ATI Graphics" or "USB 2.0." These are listed separately as two different emac models in the "compatible" computers for the AirPort Express card.
    Any help/direction would be GREATLY appreciated!

  • Which airport cards work in Europe?

    Does anyone know of which 802.11b original Airport Card works in Europe and which don't? I heard from a friend that there are some airport cards that do not work oversees. How can I identity the regional propensities of the card?
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    The original AirPort cards, for the North American market, support only radio channels 1 - 11, and NOT the European channels 12 & 13. You could still connect to any European Wi-Fis that operate within the 1 - 11 channels, but not "see" those operating above that. If you need to connect to those additional channels, you would need to acquire a European version, if still available, from the third-party vendor.

  • Which airport card fro my emac 1.25mhz

    I'm moving my emac to another part of the house. I have a lynksis router. My macbook gets wireless so will my emac also get wireless by just installing an airport card and if so which one?
    Thanks
    Mr. McTev

    The only wireless card that fits internally is the 802.11b/g AirPort Extreme card.

  • Which Airport Card?

    I have mac mini G4 EMC #2026 PowerMac 10,1 1.42 GHz. Wonder which Airport Extreme card to install?

    Hi
    You need an original Apple AirPort card, NOT the AirPort Extreme card. I don't think they're available retail any more. They appear on eBay quite often, but are fairly expensive due to their rarity (much more than the newer Extreme cards). There are alternatives such as the Sonnet Aria PCI card though, which supports the 'Extreme' wireless speeds in older Macs. I assume you live in the UK - the following UK based companies sell them amongst others:

  • Which Airport Card For eMac USB2.0

    Hi All
    I am just about to purchase a eMac USB2.0 and I am very confused about which type of Airport Card to install. I have read in some places that it takes the original Airport Card and then on this Apple site it says that this model is Airport Extreme ready.
    Which one do I need?
    Many thanks
    GArry

    Every reference I have says its the extreme version.
    However, before you buy, find out if the serial number of that eMac falls in the ranges noted in this Apple article:
    http://www.apple.com/sg/support/emac/repairextensionprogram/
    A significant number of machines within these ranges suffer from a logic board problem that is impractically expensive to fix unless you have little or no money in the computer. The Apple program that fixed this at no charge expired last summer, so you would be on your own for the significant cost of repair.
    The issue affected USB 2.0 eMacs with 1.0 and 1.25 G processors. I've never heard it affecting the later 1.42gHz machines. Hopefully you are looking at a 1.42 eMac, as they are fine machines with "new-enough" video chipsets to support Core Image technology used by OS 10.4 and later.

  • Which Airport Card for a Power MAC G4 w/400mhz?

    Hello Everyone!
    Sorry to be a bother but I'm new to the forum & need some help. I'm currently upgrading my Power Mac G4 w/400 mhz & I'm looking to go wireless. I've been looking for the best product to do this but I've become a bit confused. Did Apple make an airport card for my particular model? When I go into the specs, it shows that the system is airport compatible but I do not know which component to use. Can anyone help me out with this one?
    Thanks,
    Rick
    Bronx, NY

    Did Apple make an airport card for my particular model?
    That computer takes the original AirPort card or a PCI card or external component which provides wireless access. The AirPort Extreme card is incompatible with it.

  • How do I know which airport card to purchase for ibook 14.1 LCD 900 MHz

    I just bought a used ibook for my son and he wants to connect to our home wireless network. I can't tell if I need an Airport card or an Airport Extreme card. Do I need the Airport base station or will the card enable it to connect to any wireless network/hotspot?
    We have 3 desktops and been faithful Mac users since the the very first one but I've never had so much trouble even trying to figure out what model this laptop is!

    I just bought a used ibook for my son and he wants to connect to our home wireless network. I can't tell if I need an Airport card or an Airport Extreme card.
    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu; if the computer has a G3 processor, it takes the AirPort card, while an iBook G4 takes the AirPort Extreme card.
    Do I need the Airport base station or will the card enable it to connect to any wireless network/hotspot?
    You can use any base station which supports the 802.11b or 802.11g protocols. An AirPort card cannot use 802.11g.
