Wi-Fi CERTIFIED for 802.11n draft 2.0

This is quoted from:
http://www.wi-fi.org/80211n-draft2.php
"Beginning in June 2007, the Wi-Fi Alliance will start testing and certifying 802.11n draft 2.0 products."
Let's see when Apple gets certified.

hi tom,
if you open airport utility and click on your airport extreme.... then click on the wireless options you ca change your frequency there.
I swith between n & b/g as I have an Ipod touch & that works only with the b/g network.
hope that helps ....

  • High Definition - is 802.11N Draft standard fast enough for streaming?

    My understanding, from what I've read, is that 802.11n draft standard is actually only running at 50% speed of the actual final 802.11n protocol that will be out in a couple of years.
    If Itunes starts selling HD content or I import an HD-DVD or Blu-Ray disc to Itunes, is the 802.11n fast enough to be able to stream this content to Apple tv? Has anyone tried this?
    Thanks!

    No. No idea where you got that idea. Right now the Wi-Fi alliance is "certifying" 801.11n Draft 2.0 devices. It is called "draft" simply because it won't be formally approved until 2008, given the normal standardization schedules. Between draft and approved final there may be changes, but they are usually minor, so much so that sometimes a firmware update may do the job.

    First of all, don't expect iTunes to provide HD-DVD or Blue-Ray format files any times soon (I mean expect years before you see that). These are 1080p formats, which are NOT supported by the Apple TV. Apple TV does support content with a maximum resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps, which can be considered "720p" HD content, though not at the full cable frame rate.
    Yes, Apple TV can stream this content. I have converted several HD programs captured from ESPN (which broadcasts in 720p), converted them to H.264 at 1280x720x24fps using MPEGStreamClip (http://www.squared5.com/) and stream them to my AppleTV.
    You can find several samples here:

  • Free software/hardware guarantee when 802.11n draft becomes final?

    I have not found any information from Apple what will happen to my AirPort Extreme when the draft status will become final in a couple of month. "Draft" means there might still be changes in the final version. If there will be the chance of an update via software this might be easy, but what happens if a hardware update might be necesarry? Will Apple change all AirPort Extreme stations sold up to then? Will I have to buy a new one again? Should I rather wait to buy a new Extreme station until 802.11n draft becomes final?
    Does anyone found an offical information by Apple about this??

  • IMAC G5  ethernet port for 802.11n

    Does anyone know if you could get the 1GB ethernet port to work with a new 802.11n Airport Extreme unit ? 540MBS sounds pretty interesting.

    You have posted a question about your G5 Mac in the G4 iMac forum, so it might be getting overlooked.
    You can wire your iMac into the newe AEBS, but the Draft N networking that you are talking about is not available for your Mac. The only Macs that have support for the Draft N standard are the currently shipping Intel units. Even my first gen BlackBook will not support Draft N.
    The ethernet ports on the new AEBS are not gigabit ports either, so while your iMac can connect it will be limited to the 100mbps of standard fast ethernet.
    Unless Apple comes out with an adapter for us, we will be left out.

  • AC Adapter for 802.11n Base Station.

    Hi all,
    Does anyone know where I can get a replacement AC adapter for a 802.11n Base Station?

    Yes and they don't sell it separately.

  • Native Aiport cardbus/PCMCIA card for 802.11n

    My wife has a Powerbook. For airport we are using a Microsoft (gasp!) MN-720 cardbus card. This has the same Broadcom chipset in it as an Airport Extreme card and is recognized by the Apple Airport drivers as a native airport extreme card. It works great and no third party drivers were needed. I'm interested if anyone has found a cardbus card that uses the same chipset as Apple does for their 802.11n implementation. The object being of course to have the Apple drivers see it as a native extreme N card. I'm aware of the Quickertek nQuicky cardbus card, but that requires their drivers. I'm looking for something that the Apple drivers will recognize as their own. Thanks ... Perry

    Hardware differences. Core duos don't have the ability to be upgraded to 802.11n via the software update.

  • WLC recommended version for 802.11n

    Hello,
    I have to set up a wireless network using 802.11n. I was wondering if the 4.2 version is the best one? Is there any document that tells wich version to use depending on the the configuration we need to set up, for example?
    jr94

    Hello,
    Thanks for your replies. I know that I will only be able to manage 1252 with that version, and it is the model of my AP, so it is ok. But I was wondering if I should better use 4.2 or another train of releases. As 802.11n has been released on 9/11, I do not know if 4.2 is the best one.

  • Flash Air III, how do I set it for 802.11N mode?

    To whom it may concern: My Flash Air III is a very fine device. However…. My wireless receiver is setup for Wireless Mode: 802.11g with a rate of 48Mbps.  Is there a way to set the Flash Air III to transmit in Wireless Mode: 802.11n? I would like to have a faster data rate.

    It's really easy because it's mostly already set up... The AF-On button on the back of the camera already starts and stops AF.
    To set up true BBF technique, you turn off the AF function at the shutter button. I believe it's Custom Function IV, 1:  Opertaion/Others.... where you make button assignments.  Navigate to the shutter button icon and press "set" to enter the options for that... change to the center one "metering start" and press "set" again. Done.
    Optionally you can swap the function of the AF-On and "*" (AE Lock) buttons, using the same button assignment tool.

  • Original macbook, 802.11n (draft) and iTV

    Hi all,
    I have an original macbook (core duo). I'm wondering when the iTV comes out and streaming video to it. Most likely iTV will use 802.11n, but my original macbook has 802.11g.
    is the airport extreme card something that can be swapped out for a different card in the future, or am I absolutely stuck with 802.11g in the macbook?
    I know the new macbooks (core 2 duo) have g capability, however it's not enabled yet...but I'm wondering what the future may hold for my original macbook and it's ability to stream HD content to an iTV

    Same problem here with Macbook Pro i5 Mid 2010... I have an Apple airport extrem born (white box Wifi 300Mbps 5ghz) and impossible to have the 300mbps on this Macbook pro... It connect to 120/144 Mbps... Nothing more...
    With my other and older Macbook Pro Core2duo, it connect perferctly on 300mpbs, (10Mo /sec download/upload on local network) 270/300Mbps in Airport menu or in Network tool ... I remember i have pay 1$ to Apple after i have buy the Core2duo to have Wifi N working on my wifi component... http://store.apple.com/us/product/D4141ZM/A
    Any idea to retablish this Wifi N as it should be on my Mid2010 Macbook pro (should i pay one dollar again) ? http://store.apple.com/us/product/D4141ZM/A
    Thanks

  • Manual Static LAN IP address for 802.11n Base Station when using PPPoE

    We have a network of about 75 machines. We want to replace our main router with the new Airport Extreme 802.11n base station. WAN connection is PPPoE so we'd use the NAT function. All IP addresses of our machines on the LAN are statically assigned.
    Problem is our machines are assigned to find the router at a specific address: 192.168.0.254. The default base station IP in that subnet is 192.168.0.1. Is there any way to change the IP of the base station to 192.168.0.254 from the default of 192.168.0.1? We can do it if we have it join our existing LAN in bridge mode, but we want it to provide the main NAT functions AND connect to our ISP's PPPoE server WITHOUT having to change all our LAN devices to find it at 192.168.0.1. Possible?

    The HH will only show devices which use DHCP in the list of devices, unless you've set the device to use a static IP in the HH Home Network page.  It's a bit of a silly idea and IMO the software on the router is terrible, but you do it like this...
    - Set the printer to use DHCP to get an IP address.
    - Log in to the HomeHub 5 and browse to the Home Network page (http://192.168.1.254/index.cgi?active_page=9130)
    - Find the printer in the list of devices and click on it.
    - Click on 'Yes' next to the "Always use this IP address" option.
    - Set the IP address on the printer statically and update your devices to use the new IP address of the printer (if it changed from what it was before).
    That will ensure that the DHCP server in the HH5 doesn't lease the same IP to another device.  This will also allow you to see the printer in the list of devices.

  • G550 Wireless whitelist, which FRU to get for 802.11n upgrade

    I have a preconfigured T4300 G550 that came with a 2 antenna 11g WLAN adapter.  I want to upgrade to 11n and am aware of the whitelist.  But in looking at posts here an elsewhere not all Lenovo device IDs will work in all systems so it's not enough to just get a Lenovo branded card.
    Is there a dBase somewhere with contents of whitelists for various models?  IOW, where can I find out which FRU I need for this G550 upgrade?  Would a 42T0865 (Intel 4965) be suitable (knowing I'll run just 1 Rx)?
    TIA

    Ok, after doing a bit more searching I found a clue in a completely different forum:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2136789&tstart=0
    Apparently I must have a neighbor with a WiFi router set to a wrong country region (I'm in Brazil), and according to the (foolish, stupid, and all-around knobbish IMSNHO) 802.11d implementation that Apple has chosen to follow in Snow Leopard, it sets its internal card's country region to the region of the first router that broadcasts to it, rather than being smart (like they were in 10.5) and setting it to the country region of the actual router you are connecting to.
    I'm using the script that was offered on that page to reboot my Airport interface until it connects using Wireless N. Until then, this is a big AppleFAIL in my book.

  • NAS for 802.11n?

    Ok,
    The new airport is supposed to support USB drives, thus making them like a network-type drive (called NAS, I think). I use an external SATA drive to work with video (it's still slow) on my Macbook Pro and I also use it to store my iTunes library.
    My question is this: will the new Airport be fast enough for me to do these things WITHOUT being plugged in directly?
    Lawrence

    Hi Lawrence Ingram_Ii;
    You asked; "I wonder. . . if I attach the external drive to the new AEBS with firewire; can I still leave the eSATA line plugged in to the back of the external drive and just plug in directly when I've got video editing to do? Or would I need to dismount if rom the network, and disconnect the firewire prior to using the eSATA connection?"
    Leaving a drive connected twice is dangerous. If anything attempts to write to the drive over both of the connection simultaneously the drive will be corrupted. So the safest technique is to always have one and only one connection on a drive at any time. Anything else is asking for trouble.

  • AirPort Extreme (802.11n)  - Which draft version of 802.11n does it use?

    When the new AirPort Extreme 802.11n was announced, Apple didn't specifically state which version of the 802.11n draft it was using.
    At the time of the announcement, version 2 of the 802.11n draft had not been submitted yet for approval.
    So my question is what version of the Draft-N spec is it using?
    1.0?
    2.0?

    As I understand it, the big change was going from a single 40 MHz channel to dual 20 MHz channels because some b/g base stations would get confused by 40 MHz channels, causing problems on their networks.
    Here's a link to a Computerworld column about the new draft, which pretty much confirms that it's only a firmware update:

  • 802.11n (CISCO?) client adapter

    Hello,
    after the release of the 1250AP, I was wondering if the 802.11n compatible client adapters were planed or close to release, and if anyone had an information about that.
    I was also wondering if this AP had any particular CISCO features (like there was in some previous versions) that could require such an adapter to work properly?
    Regards,
    Laurent

    Cisco's 1250 series APs have been selected as the test hardware for all 802.11n Draft 2.0 client adapters. That means that for any Draft 2.0 compliant hardware to be certified, it must inter-operate with the 1250 series AP. There are some additional features that Cisco makes availible to client adapters (CCX, for example), but any Draft 2.0 certified client adapter should work with the 1250 without any problem, regardless of CCX version support.
    Below is from the Cisco Aironet 1250 Series Access Point Q&A:
    Q. What is the status of the Draft 802.11n version 2.0 standard?
    A. The IEEE 802.11n working group has passed letter ballot, and this is what is known as 802.11 Draft 2.0. Subsequently, the Wi-Fi Alliance commenced compatibility testing in June 2007 to ensure interoperability of products adhering to the 802.11n draft 2.0 standard. The Cisco Aironet 1250 Series Access Point was selected as the reference platform for the Wi-Fi Alliance test bed. All products receiving Wi-Fi Alliance draft 2.0 certification must be tested with the Cisco Aironet 1250 Series Access Point.
