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.

  • I can't get airport extreme to work with iPad

    I can't get airport extreme to work with iPad

    Ok, thanks for clarifying that for me. We have two distinctly different printing problems. Let's try tackling them one at a time if you don't mind.
    In order for the iPad to print to a printer it would either have to be AirPrint-enabled or you would need another solution, like PrintCentral for iPad or Printopia. Unfortunately, I don't believe your Canon printer is AirPrint-enabled. There aren't many printers on the market that currently are. All of them, that I am aware of, are HP devices.
    Now for the PC. I would go with what you have already suggested and that is try disabling either the Windows or third-party software firewall. Which version of Windows is it running? Just in case it's XP, here are two excellent iFelix articles on how to do so with or without using Bonjour.

  • Airport extreme quit working with mac,dell etc.digital cable the issue? or?

    Hi! I had luck here before, so I'm hoping I can find luck again! I'm with my folks, who run a Dell Desktop with WIndows XP Home Edition with cable modem, my Airport Extreme running wireless with my Macbook (listed) and an older than old dell notebook with a wireless card. It has been running fine for the last year.
    Now, the new problem: My parents upgraded their phone to digital- so for the first week or so, every time the phone rang, I lost wireless- I presume from interference. On Monday, I was online, and was abruptly cut off. I was not able to get on again for the rest of the day. As sometimes the cable goes out- I didn't think much of it. Until the next day when I couldn't get back online, and the dell desktop could not get on either. My father called in to TW who walked him through several different solutions- none of which gave me wireless. I'm left with an old dell desktop to work on- (I'm a mac girl- I'm going insane). I need the stuff on my macbook- job applications to be sent, book writing for uploads- and my sanity back. Is it possible my Airport Extreme went? Is it the modem itself? Is it the wireless phone interference? My mac will show it can see the network- but can't connect to the internet- Any help at all will be greatfully accepted!
    Thank you!!

    What is the make/model of the new modem?
    Since it sounds like your parents now have VoIP as their phone service, it might more likely be a bandwidth issue as opposed to a Wi-Fi interference issue that you are seeing. This would make sense since the Dell desktop is not able to connect to the Internet either.
    One thing to try is to perform a complete power recycle of all the network components to see if this resolves the issue of connectivity. The simpliest method would be to first power everything off. Then, starting with the modem, power it back on; wait 10 - 15 minutes, and then, power-up the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS); wait 5 - 10 minutes. Finally, power on the computers.

  • Help.  Is the Airport Extreme Card compatible with my iMac?

    Probably stupidly simple, but I'm not sure of the answer. I've tried to get the answer online, but no luck. Can someone tell me if the airport extreme card will work with my iMac?
    TIA,

    Hardware Overview:

    Yes the AirPort Extreme card is the correct card for your iMac.

  • New Airport Extreme not working with my Quad Macpro

    Hi all-
    My Linksys 902.11b router finally died and our household is now completely Mac-based (all with Airport Extreme cards), so I decided to take the plunge and get an Airport Extreme.
    2 of the machines on my home's network are doing fine with the router and are getting good speeds - iMac Dual 2.4 (10.5.1) - Both the wired and wireless connections are solid with this machine / Macbook Dual 2.0 (10.5.1) - Both the wired and wireless connections are solid with this machine as well.
    I have a Macpro Quad 2.66 machine running 10.4.11. I cannot upgrade to 10.5 yet on this machine since it's being used in my recording studio business and there are known issues with some of my apps and 10.5 at the moment.
    The Quad can see the network and has seemingly strong signal from the Airport Extreme BS, but DHCP reception is inconsistent (the machine often eds up using a self-assigned IP for some reason) and IP connectivity in general is inconsistent, even when an appropriate static LAN IP is manually setup. I can often get to a few webpages while using a manually config'd IP, but only with very slow DL speeds and then the connection quickly disappears and drops out entirely.
    The AExtreme is setup like this: DSL Modem-->Airport Extreme (config'd with a static IP from my ISP) -->DHCP broadcast dummy IP's to my network. Currently I've not setup any security since I'm in the process of troubleshooting and I don't want to further complicate the situation. Radio-mode on the AExtreme is set to 802.11n (b/g compatible)/Channel 1. I've tried numerous config setups on the AExtreme, but none have helped the situation.
    I've also disabled IPv6 on all clients per some reading on the forums of possible issues.
    Anyone know what the problem might be? Is it perhaps an issue because the Macpro's using 10.4.11?
    FYI, I've also also got an extra Airport Express around that's not being used that could be used as a repeater/wired connection downstairs if broadcast strength is the issue, which seems somewhat unlikely to me. I'm not sure how to config the AExpress to work in this capacity though, so if anyone could point me to a tutorial I'd appreciate it very much.
    Thanks in advance.
    Lee

    I just did some more testing using an app mentioned here on the forums, iStumbler. The app offered these details:
    - Signal Strength is between 45%-56%
    - Noise is between 24%-41%
    - Freq = 2412
    - No websites load despite it's seeing the router and saying we've joined it.
    I also did a screen capture of the iStumbler's screen in case that's helpful. There were several bits of info I wasn't sure about.
    Here's the screen grab: http://www.pbase.com/infiniteposse/image/91793322/original

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Is the airport extreme card incompatible with my powermac G5 dual 2 GHz?

    I have installed an airport extreme card into my powermac G5 dual 2 GHz. It will only detect my router if it's in the same room and even then it has a very weak signal. Any suggestions?

    You need both for it to work, but don't you have the card already?

    Select Video Card / GeForce 600 Series and sort on the column header. There are no 640 cards yet.

  • How to configure airport extreme to work with Actiontec gt701d modem

    I have been trying to set up a new Actiontec modem to work with a new Airport Extreme with no luck. I don't know what the right settings are to get it to work correctly. So far the only way I have been able to get the two to work together is to have the AE connect with ethernet and bridge mode. However with this configuration I can't setup a guest network which I would like to be able to do. I have read some past posts and have tried other configurations but end up either losing internet connection or getting a very slow connection. If anyone has some idea how to get this modem to work with the AE i would really appreciate some advice
    Thank you

    Welcome to the discussion area, Meagan!
    The Actiontec "modem" that you mention is really a gateway...a combination modem/router, so with this device and the AirPort Extreme, you have two routers on the network.
    Whenever you have two routers on a network, the first router must be configured to handle the main routing chores and any other routers must be configured in Bridge Mode to function correctly. So, Bridge Mode is the correct setting for the AirPort Extreme when used with the Actiontec gt701d gateway.
    In order for the AirPort Extreme to provide a Guest Network, it must be configured as the "main" router on a network. This won't be possible unless you can re-configure the Actiontec device to act as a simple modem, not a router. You might want to check with Actiontec support to see whether this might be possible.

    Does your G5 have an Airport Extreme card installed?
    You need one to connect once a network is created.

  • How to configure Airport Extreme to work with Spotify

    Issue: Spotify no longer syncs Spotify files to my iMac or my iPhone despite me being a premium member. I've never had an issue with this until this past week. I can't see anything that has changed but I must be missing something. Anyhow...I'm posting this here because I need assistance with my Airport Extreme configuration (not Spotify).
    According to Spotify, I am to configure my (Airport Extreme, latest gen) router to allow the following:
    The following IP ranges should be open on port 4070:
    78.31.8.0/21
    193.182.8.0/21
    The number 21 is the prefix length.
    I've assigned the static IP to my iMac and my iPhone. I've also forwarded port 4070 (Public & Private UDP and TCP) to my iMac's static IP. I also tried it on my iPhone. What I don't know about is how to open the IP Range on that port as stated above.
    Any idea where this can be done? Thanks!
