  • Will airport extreme card work with my emac?

    I want to put an airport extreme card in my Emac. Please let me know if it will work in my machine. My Emac specs:
    Power PC G4
    CPU Speed: 800MHz
    L2 Cache: 256 KB
    Memory: 1Gb
    Bus Speed: 100MHz
    Purchase year: 2002 (before USB2)

    According to:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107440
    Only the eMac ATI Graphics model and USB 2 models could take Airport Extreme.
    According to:
    http://www.designedinca.com/macs/emac/may2003/800cd/
    the ATI Graphics model replaced the August 2002 to May 2003 which was also 800 Mhz.
    Thus your machine was the one before the Airport Extreme became available:
    http://www.designedinca.com/macs/emac/aug2002/800/
    So no, you can't put an Airport Extreme card in it. You can though get Airport Extreme speeds via a LAN capable WiFi access point via its 10/100 ethernet port.
    You can also buy the original Airport card from:

  • Will airport extreme card work on other wireless systems

    will airport extreme card work with other networking systems such as time warner cable with a router?

    Note, Airport Extreme on PowerMacs is limited to 802.11g.  If you find you get a router that is 802.11n, and have devices that need 802.11n speed, they should be on a different wireless network.  Otherwise you can set the network to be 802.11n and 802.11g for both 'n' and 'g' devices to hook up to it from the router in question.  Be sure the PowerMac in question does support Extreme, and not just the original Airport by visiting this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1621
    And identifying your Mac in this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3082
    If you can't find your Mac on the article, go to Apple menu -> About This Mac and tell us the Machine ID. If it is a notebook, the name of the machine is on the screen frame. If it is a machine with a display and a built-in optical drive that has no name, it may be an iMac.  That is significant as well.  Since you posted in the PowerMac forum, without telling us your machine, we can't help you further until you do.

  • Can't get Airport Extreme Card working

    I recently purchased a refurbished Airport Extreme Wiresless card for my EMAC from the Apple Store, installed it, but now when I try to configure the network connection, Wireless Airport is greyed out. I don't have the Extreme Station and didn't think I needed it, but I cannot figure out to make the connection to my existing wireless cable modem router in my house. Any help in this situation would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks, SBeck

    Technoqueen,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Does the card appear in Applications> Utilities> System Profiler under the Network> Airport Card heading? There have been a number of reports over the years from posters here in the Discussions to the effect that the Airport Extreme card is an extremely tight fit in the eMac. The card can fell as if it's fully seated in the slot, yet not actually be all the way in. It takes a surprising amount of force to fully seat the Airport Extreme card that last fraction of a millimeter; you need to push the card until just short of where the 50-lb eMac is shoved away from you on your work surface.

  • Airport extreme card with G4 ATI emac (1GHZ)

    I've purchased a previously used airport extreme card for my emac and installed it following the instalation guide on the apple website. But with the card inserted my emac wont boot. I just get the usual apple noise then a black screen and the caps lock lights up.
    The card seems to be in properly as i got the "little click feeling" you have when something goes all the way in and the antena is also connected properly.
    The emac boots up fine when the card is removed.
    any ideas?

    Thanks, I think i'm going to send it back as i thought that it was the card at fault but thought i'd better check all options first.
    The card was correctly installed and there's nothing wrong with my emac so it must be the card.

  • Can a "bad" Airport Extreme Card work intermittently, i.e.

    work sometimes and then suddenly disconnect and reconnect? I'm having trouble with Safari crashes, and slow or no page loads... it was implied that the Airport Extreme Card may be not working properly. Can this happen?
    I figured it either works or don't work, but maybe it's slowly dieing? I don't know.
    Anyone with experience with the card dieing or being intermittent? Is there a good way to test it?
    Thanks for any observations.

    Well here's a new one, but I might be speaking too soon. I certainly hope not!
    The AirPort checked out just fine at the Apple Store, and sure enough within an hour back home my connection/browsers crashed. I shut down the computer and unplugged the gateway. It ran smooth for three whole hours before crashing this time (the longest time on record).
    There's been one more thing in the back of my mind, and before calling the DSL company to return the gateway I figured I'd give it a try.
    I unplugged the KENSINGTON wireless optical desktop for Mac, keyboard and mouse with the RF receiver, and guess what?
    I haven't crashed in " 10 entire hours"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BIG RECORD!
    Who would know? Not I.
    I emailed Kensington Support and asked whether the RF reciever might interfer with a wireless connection via airport, but I don't expect a reply. Niether a reply from the Yahoo!SBC/DSL support, because nothing, i.e. no video works with Mac OSX on their homepage. Bummer! But that's another problem I CAN ignor.
    Has anyone here ever heard that a wireless keyboard and mouse can mess around your airport connection?
    So for so good.

  • Airport Extreme Card work fine on new Mac Pro (Early 2008)?

    I was looking at this Airport Extreme Card ( http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=MTg 5Njg&fnode=home/shopmac/macaccessories/networking&nplm=M8881LL/A ). Is it simple enough to install? And does it work? I'm not a complete noob, and I have built my own PC before, but I'm wondering if there were any quirks when installing this since I'm fairly new with Mac Hardware.

    You do not need to have the Extreme base station. It is possible to set up the Express to "share" the routers internet capabilities and provide it through the ethernet port thus to your computer.
    You do however need to setup the Airport express to match some setting at the original base station(router). Unless your IT savvy, this could prove to be a hard task for the everyday user.
    If your trying to sustain high transfer rates... wired is always the solution. I personally used a 100ft Cat-6 cable, wired up through my large apartment ceiling to give "connected" benefits to various electronics at the other end. And the cable costs less than 99 dollars
    Your other option is to get what is called an extender.http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=23680 17&Sku=N100-2096&SRCCODE=GOOGLEBASE&CMP=OTC-GOOGLEBASE
    This one here works on the G network, and is even a netgear product. This also costing less than the Express.
    Hope this helps

  • Emac does not recognise airport extreme card.

    I bought my emac less than a year ago and its running on the newest version of Mac osX. I also have a PC with broadband and a wireless router which is emitting. I was told that i needed to get an airport extreme card to let my mac use this internet aswell. I have bought the card and i installed the software on the disc and i then fitted the disc into my mac and i have checked to see that it is in firmly and so is the aerial. This said when i turn my emac on it does not search for available networks like it supposedly should and when i go into system profiler it says no information available for the airport card. I am not convinced that the disc actually installed anything onto my mac however since i cannot find any files that i would have thought would have come from the disc. Please any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Emac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    P.O.R.G, Welcome to the discussion area!
    There is no need to install the software from the disc. OS X contains all of the software needed to support the AirPort Extreme card.
    The early eMac's require the original AirPort card instead of the AirPort Extreme card.
    If you are using the correct card and the card is not recognized in System Profiler, there are only 3 possibilities:
    The card is not installed properly.
    The card is defective.
    The eMac's motherboard is defective in the area interacting with the AirPort Extreme card

  • My airport extreme is working but will not connect to my mac pro

    my airport extreme is working and all other devices connect except my mac pro computer,  How do I resolve this problem?

    Hi fdrussell,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  Were your Airport Extreme and Mac Pro communicating earlier?  If so, what changed?  
    First try shutting down the computer, and recycling the power to the Airport Extreme.  Then start the Mac Pro and see if that resolves the issue.  
    If needed, perform a Hard reset of the Airport Extreme:

  • Airport Extreme Card

    I couldn't find an answer so here is my post.
    I bought an Airport Extreme card from a guy and can't get it to work in both an iMac G5 and an eMac G4. It doesn't show up in the System Profiler. The guy claims it only works with older Apple Powerbook IBM chip laptops. From what I have read, Airport Extreme cards work with any mac with an Airport Extreme port.
    I need some clarity on who is right.
    Card info:
    Model no. A1026
    EMC no. 1951
    if you need more info let me know, and thank you anyone that replies.

    A A1026 AirPort Extreme card should work with your iMac G5 and the later eMac G4s.
    It will not work with any of the Intel based Macs.

  • AIRPORT EXTREME CARD compatability

    I have a G4/500 SAWTOOTH-AGP machine. Will an AirPort Extreme card work in this machine? I've looked everywhere, but cannot fine the answer. The specs for the card say "Will only work in machines that are Airport Extreme ready"...
    I've looked up the specs on the SAWTOOTH, and it doesn't say anything other than "Airport ready"...
    I've read LOTS and LOTS of postings by folks saying this card didn't work in their machines. Many where from G5 owners, so I don't know.

    Hi, Stacey!
    The Airport Extreme card will not work. You need the original Airport Card or a third party option... Please see the following current thread for some really good info/options concerning this subject:

  • Will Airport Extreme Network with Panasonic Viera TC-P50ST30

    Will Airport Extreme Network work properly with Panasonic Viera TC-P50ST30 HDTV?

    I don't have this particular model, but I do have a Panasonic TC-P42GT25 plasma which has no difficulties accessing the Internet through my 4th Gen AirPort Extreme Base Station or 4th Gen Time Capsule.

  • Computer won't recognize Airport Extreme Card

    Okay, I need a little help. I bought an Airport Extreme card for my eMac today, which is what my manual told me I'd need to connect to a wireless Internet connection.
    I followed the instructions to install it exactly, but the computer won't recognize that it's there. It still says "no information available" when I go look at the Airport card settings.
    I'm not sure if it's a fault of mine, the card's, or the computer's. When I insert the card, should it snap into place? Should it slide out easily? How can I tell if it's in properly?
    If anybody can help out, it'd make my year. I am dying to get this high-speed Internet set up. Thanks.

    surfingbaku, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Use the information in KB 86325, eMac: How to locate the serial number and identify your model to identify which type of eMac you have.
    If you have one of these eMacs
    eMac (ATI Graphics)
    eMac (USB 2.0)
    eMac (2005)
    you require the AirPort Extreme card.
    Any other eMac requires the original AirPort card.
    If you are using the correct card and it is not being recognized, one or more of the following must be correct.
    The card isn't installed correctly.
    The card is defective.
    The eMac's motherboard is defective and not recognizing the card.

  • Can't get security to work - Airport Extreme card and Netgear router

    This apparently is not as simple an issue as I expected, so I would appreciate some help.
    I just got dsl and a Netgear WGT624 wireless router to connect my wife's iBook G4 with AirPort Extreme card. I used a wired-in pc to set up the router via the web interface and can connect the iBook to the web wirelessly as long as I have security disabled. When I attempt to set WEP or WPA the connection fails.
    Initially, I assumed I just was missing something in the AirPort setup, even after looking through all the documentation I could find. I upgraded yesterday from 10.3.3 to 10.3.9, just to see, but had no improvement.
    If I select "WPA-PSK(TKIP)" in the router, it asks for a password, which I also then enter to login to the selected network via Internet Connect. I get "there was an error joining..."
    If I select "WEP" with 64 bit and shared key options, use the same password to automatically generate the assorted keys, I am not sure what to enter to login. I have received incorrect password messages or no response at all.
    I would appreciate any further direction or suggestions.
    Thanks
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.3)  

    One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
    In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
    The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
    One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
    Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

    "WPA Personal" on the Mac corresponds to plain WPA, with a pre-shared key (PSK) and TKIP encryption, on non-Apple wireless routers. The same alphanumeric password should work on both.

  • Airport Extreme Card just stopped working -help!!

    I've had my MacBook Pro since mid August with a built Airport Extreme Card. It has for most of the time been working fine with my Netgear router. Yesterday it just stopped working. The black bars aren't showing on the aiport, it keeps refusing to accept the WEP password.
    I have tried switching the airport on and off, and have also switched off the router and re started it, all to no avail. The WEP password is correct.
    I have a WIFI printer connection and the airport will not connect to that either.
    This has happened once before about 6 weeks ago but I can't remember what I did, if anything, to remedy the situation.
    I have 3 other laptops all working perfectly well on the system, and all printing from the printer without any problems.
    Any suggestions before I and the laptop go hurtling through the first floor window?

    Try resetting your MBP's PRAM ...
    Reset the PRAM
    o Shut down the computer.
    o Turn on the computer.
    o Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    o Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    o Release the keys.
