Which wireless USB adaptor with PowerMac G4

I don't have Airport & just got WiFi hotspot - was wondering what usb wireless adaptor would work with a G4

Hello,
These work far better than an Airport card...

And even better with a 10' USB extension cable...

My system is Mac OS X v.10.6.8.
I used to work on my 3000 photos with GIMP on a P.C, but since I had a breakdown, I would like to carry on on my Mac as soon as possible.
Figuring out unaided a new OS after a breakdown is the best prescription for another breakdown.
Before going back to editing your photos, I suggest you need to familiarise yourself with your new OS. Get a book (eg, David Pogue's "Missing Manual…") -- now, that Lion's been out and about for some time, you can probably get the Snow Leopard (aka Mac OS X v10.6) edition at a discount. Take the time to read it and understand it, and you'll spare yourself a mountain of frustration. There are enough similarities between Mac OS X and Windows to fool you into believing almost everything works the same way, when, of course, it doesn't -- many similarities are only skin-deep.
Once you've done that, you'll be in a better position to install and use GIMP or look for alternatives.
where do I find the exact version (in french)
For French issues, you are probably better off checking the forums on MacBidouille or MacGeneration.

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.

Recommend a wireless USB adaptor that is Mac compatible?

As I really need my MacBook to see wifi networks and not being able to wait to see if 10.5.3 fixes up the airport problems I was wondering if anyone has used and can recommend a wireless USB adaptor?
Thanks for any help
mark

I haven't used it, but it is sold by a Mac-centric vendor that I trust, OWC. If they sell it, it probably works well with Macs.

Linksys Wireless USB Adaptor

Is my iMAC G4 compatible with a Linksys Wireless USB Adaptor?

Linksys does not make any Mac OS drivers for that device.

Asus N10 USB adaptor with EMac 10.3.9

Hi I've just got an Asus N10 USB adaptor to use on an Emac running 10.3.9 but the drivers seem to start at 10.4. Any solutions? Thanks

Hi,
>Do you think the Asus N13 will work on it with the correct drivers?
At least according to the following web page, the USB-N13 appears to have support for Mac OS X 10.3:
http://www.asus.com/Networking/USBN13/#specifications
See also the page below for drivers:
http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=USB-N13&os=30
However, do check that the above is valid for exactly the variant sold before you buy.
Depending on the eMac version, you will have either USB 1.1 or USB 2.0. A Wi-Fi adapter connected to USB 1.1 port ought to work, but the maximum speed will be limited.
Anyway, a wireless Ethernet bridge (which does not have to be that expensive) connected to the Ethernet port would be my recommendation in a case like this one.

[solved] Wireless USB adaptor says its something its not?

So I have a TP-Link TL-WN321G USB adaptor I just purchased. I was looking up chipset and drivers for it but when I do lsusb it comes back with
ID 148f:2070 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2070 Wireless Adapter
This seems strange to me as everywhere I lookup this adaptor online it says its a RT2571 or RT73 drivers, yet my computer is saying RT2070 for whatever reason?
Anyone have any ideas as to why this is or does mine somehow have a different chipset?
Thanks
Edit: Stupid enough to forget the adaptor model

I got that adaptor expecting that chipset for a certain purpose but thats why I was confused when it didn't operate as expected and then when I checked I was like what the heck is this? It would appear I have a different revision using a different chipset now so I'll have to return it and look into getting another one then.

Wireless display adaptor with apple macbook pro

can i use my Macbook pro running windows thru bootcamp with my wireless display adaptor? So far it works perfectly with my surface tablet but cannot get it to work with the Mac.

First make sure that printer sharing is correctly setup on the PCs. It is best to make sure that you can print from one PC to the other PCs printer. Once you have established that you can be sure that the printers are accessible from the network. To find out how to do that read Windows help. There are step-by-step instructions and a wizard that helps you with the Windows setup.
Then read the Mac Help on how to access a shared windows printer in your network. Again you find step-by-step instructions how to do that.

Netgear MA111 Wireless USB Adaptor - Linux Enterprise V5

I have installed Linux Enterprise V5 on my laptop (Sony VAIO). Does any one know how I can get my Netgear MA111 USB Adaptor to work with this OS? I am fairly new to linux.
Mahomed Suria

Hi Tommy,
Since my last post , I have installed linux-wlan-ng-0.2.8 and followed the following installation instructions :
run Configure
make
make all
make install
This got me a start up script in /etc/rc.d/init.d/wlan, but when I run it gives me following error:
Starting WLAN Devices: FATAL Module p80211 not found
Failed to load p80211.o
So at present I am trying to work out what that means!!!
In answer to your question , the command /sbin/lsusb -v gives :
idVendor 0x0846 Netgear, Inc
idProduct 0x4110 MA111 WiFi (v1)
bDeviceClass 0 (Defined at interface level)

Replace Spectre 13 x2 13t-h200 single band wireless network adaptor with a dual band adaptor

What is the path taken to upgrade the installed single band wireless network card with a dual band card.

Hi rb1950, and welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you would like the 'How to' information on changing your single band wireless card for a dual band wireless card. To better guide you, could you please tell me the model number of your computer and the operating system that is running on it. Here are some guides for How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? and for Which Windows operating system am I running?.
Please let me know and I will try my best to find the information you need.
Thank you and have a great day!

Imac intel - which wireless option compatible with mac/pc

I really appreicate some advice about going wireless. I am on telewest broadband (now virgin broadband) I have an imac intel which has an Aiport card inside. See below:
AirPort Card Information:
Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x89)
Wireless Card Locale: Worldwide
Wireless Card Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (4.80.79.1)
Wireless compatibility with Mac and PC
My son has a pc laptop (will wireless automatically see both mac and pc in the same house?)
I have been googling without success - because a lot of the jargon is beyond me.
Hope this is okay to post here.
IMac Intel Mac OS X (10.4.9) purchased early 2006

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You might find that MacCam (http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/) can help with a compatible driver for that device - it's by no means sure, but the MacCam project does support a number of Logitech USB webcams.

Access Share - Wireless/USB Drive with KDE

I have an external hard drive connected to my wireless router by a USB port on the wireless router. Using Gnome I never have a problem conntecting to the external drive but I cannot do so in KDE. Browsing the network sees drive but when trying to connect just get the following message...
"The location 'smb:/' is invalid."
I just cannot figure out why I cannot connect in KDE. Help...thanks.

With only KDE I'm unsure how to do it, I use Subtle. But you can put a line in your /etc/fstab, to mount it. (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sa … e_to_fstab). I'm assuming its samba.

Can I use a Belkin F6D4050 wireless USB adapter with my Airport Extreme?

I received a freebie Belkin wireless adapter a little while back. Am now trying to use it to connect a device to my existing Airport Extreme wireless home network. Am having some problems and wonder if it is my device (I think it should work with the device, though), or possibly with the Airport.
I may already have my answer (...no?), but am a bit illiterate with wireless. My Airport is using WPA2, and is 802.11n. My adapter says it works with WPA2, but only lists 802.11g and 802.11b.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

I cannot say for sure if the g/b vs n is the cause, but if all other devices like the AE and that one device does not, you go with the odds. Others will have to chime-in on that.
And I recommend NetGear (not necessarily *above* LinkSys) because my 3-year-old NetGear router has been serving my MBP fine for 3 months ... no glitches.

Time Capsule compatibility with Wireless USB Hub

Is it possible to use a wireless USB hub with the Time Capsule? I am thinking of using a Belkin wireless USB hub, which would have the USB receiver/antenna for the hub connected to the TC, and my printer connected to the hub.
Below is the link for the Belkin Wireless USB hub that I wanted to use:
http://shop3.frys.com/product/5845573#detailed
My reason for doing this is because I want to keep my wireless printing capabilities, but I want to move the TC downstairs and "bridge" it with my AT&T U-Verse wireless router/modem. At the moment I am not able to have my TC and router/modem in the same room.
My thinking is that this will not work because the TC will not recognize that type of USB device (i.e. the USB receiver/antenna for the hub). But if this works this would solve a great deal of logistic problems.

I still have questions about how to connect the Brother printer through ethernet. When connected does the airport utility have some area where you can identify the printer as a network printer as opposed to USB?
The AirPort Utility would only come into play if the printer was attached to the TC's USB port. Printers, attached by Ethernet, would have to "network-ready." Controlling these types of printers would be through the printer driver that you would access through the operating system interface.
In my HP example, the HP printer driver does provide access to a number of features particular to this printer model. Most manufacturers include an installation CD that provide useful utilities ... albeit most are written for Windows. I would suggest checking out the Brother support site to see if they have Mac-specific drivers or utilities.

Disabled wireless network router with WD World Book

I have recently updated iTunes and now everytime I start it up it says Updating iTunes Library, then after approx 1 minute the wireless network adaptor on my pc is disabled. The only way to re-enable it is to shut down the pc then then restart it. I've tried updating the drivers on the WPN111 USB adaptor but it hasn't made any difference.
I'm using an external WD World book to store my music folders and I'm guessing it's something to do with this and iTunes?
Windows 7
iTunes 10.5
Netgear WPN111 wireless USB adaptor
WD World book 1TB
Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Thanks.

Defiantly relevant. I will look around myself some more since N seems to have issues
my iwconfig shows N though and still have same issue, that file does not exist in arch, but i did run modprobe with the 11n_disable=0 flag

Thanks though I have a new area to look around in.
