Will AirPort work with my current wireless router?

I have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. I'm thinking about getting two AirPort Expresses for AirTunes. But I wanna know that if I get one AirPort Express in my room with my stereo, and my wireless router to my computer with iTunes, if AirTunes will work. Has anyone tried this? Thanks!

The answer is yes. Quoting the Airport Express FAQ:
Question: If my computer is associated with a non-Apple wireless access point, can iTunes send an AirTunes stream to the AirPort Express?
Answer: Yes, if AirPort Express has joined the network in client mode, or if it is connected via wire to a LAN port on the non-Apple wireless access point.

Airport Express with Belkin N1 Wireless Router

I saw Airport Express and am very interested to buy this. However, before I proceed to buy, it would want to see if it can work with my Belkin N1 Wireless Router and how.
Preferred setup is
DSL Modem <-> Airport Express <-> Belkin N1 Wireless <-> Laptop
Can anyone advise
1. Can Airport work with Belkin N1 Wireless Router?
2. How do i setup the above configuration?
If this can work, I'm going to get one immediately!! =D

Welcome to the discussions, Richard!
Preferred setup is
DSL Modem <-> Airport Express <-> Belkin N1 Wireless <-> Laptop
The <-> is normally a display for an ethernet connection. The AirPort Express only has one ethernet port, and it will be used to connect to the DSL modem in your example.
So, it would not be possible to connect the Belkin device the AirPort Express using <-> ethernet.

Using Airport Extreme with a Netopia Wireless Router 2247NWG

Hi, I'm trying to set up an airport extreme base station (AEBS) with a netopia wireless router and my XP SP3 Laptop. I have the extreme plugged into the router and the set up of the AEBS went fine. I have a solid green light on the AEBS and it appears to be working OK. When I move to another room in the house, I have two wireless networks available - the netopia wireless router and the AEBS. Whichever of the networks I connect to, the signal strength is extremely poor and the other is showing available with 5 bars. When I connect to the strong network, the signal goes weak and the original network is available with 5 bars. I've tried disabling the wireless on the router but this doesn't help. The router network is still showing as available with 5 bars but I can't connect to it.
First day with my MAC gear (haven't even opened the MacBook box yet) and I need help!!!!!!!!!!!

So, today I finally broke down and plugged them both into the two available ports in the back of the AEBSn via ethernet cables. My question is: Do I have to "turn off" the airport connection in order to make the ethernet connection the default connection?
That might help but it isn't necessary. You can simply rearrange the order of items in the Network preference pane.
Search on the internet and you will find many ways to check the speed. One is http://us.mcafee.com/root/speedometer/default.asp

HT1178 How do I set-up my Time Capsule to work with my existing Wireless Router?

The existing wireless router is my connection to the Internet and I would like to keep it that way. I really want the TC to fuction as an external Hard Drive/Server, Backup Disc! The TC is where all my Music and Photos are located together with my Backups!
I have tried different configurations and I get it to work for a wile, but after a few minutes it will disappear from my Air Port Utility, a rescan will not bring it back, but if I unplug and then plug it back in it will reappear. However if the TC shows in Air Port Utility or not the TC still shows up on my Desktop.
What Settings should I use in Air Port Utility, Should the Ethernet Cable be plugged into Ethernet or LAN Port?
My Current Settings are:
Ethernet Cable: Connected to the ETHERNET PORT
AirPor Tab:
Wireless Mode: OFF
Connect Using: ETHERNET
Internet Tab: Internet Connection
Connect Using: ETHERNET
Connection Sharing: OFF (BRIDGE MODE)
TCP/IP:
Configure IPv4: USING DHCP

I am Running OS 10.5.8 on a PowerBook G4.
Below you will see the Log (IP Address, AirPort ID, Eternet ID, Subnet Mask, Router Address, DNS Server Info has been removed).
I had the TC was originally set-up connected to a DLS Modem, all worked fine Backups over TM all was ok, but then the Modem died. (I upgraded to a Wireless Router). I did have it set up, but I nolonger know the settings, I wanted to do a backup with TM, which had not been done for a long time (6 months)
I tried to backup, but either it was not working or was taking sooooo long, that I decided to do the Backup over Ethernet (still took the hole day for 8.5 GB). I had read that I nedded to chang my setting to be able to Backup with Ethernet. Did not Save the previous settings hence my problem!

HT1731 Help installing Airport Express with Netgear N150 wireless router? I hav

Hi,
I just purchased the newer Airport Express (new) and am having issues using it in client mode with my Netgear N150 wireless router. All I want to use it for is streaming itunes from my aluminum macbook to my home stereo system, wirelessly.
I have followed the instructions that came with the device. No luck. I have followed the instructions that describe plugging it into an ethernet cable here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1731
With the apple instructions linked above it would connect fine to my existing wireless network, using airport utility, with 'excellent' connection, but when I tried to switch in itunes to my device from my computer i get the pinning wheel and an 'unknown error' occurs.
I have setup a new wireless account and password on my router as desribed at this page, but do get confused when it tells me to use the hex key and $. Haven't worked that out yet. Any advice would be appreciated if this would help.
http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20041017233832771
At best, after hard resetting the device several times, and following the instructions above at macworld, it now finds the device but only plays one blip second of a song, flashing amber from solid green, sometimes playing a second blip of a song, then pausing the song and switching to a flashing amber. By restarting my computer or opening AirPort utiliy I am able to find it again, but it either only plays one second of a song and drops again or turns green and is not able to be found at all by itunes (the button doesn't show up in the menu).
This is the second airport I have tried in 2 years. I purchased a used one and had nearly the exact same issues with a linksys router. Then it would play an album but reset if a song was paused.I had to hard reset it nearly every time i wanted to stream from itunes to my stereo. I assumed it was broken and sent it back. Figured I 'd give it a new go around with a new unit since i just moved into a new house and am now shocked at how difficult it is to set up. I have never had this many issues with an apple device.
My questions:
1) How can I set this up with my existing router? What am I doing wrong?! Why is it so difficult?
2) If not possible, what routers are compatible? I would gladly get a new router in order to stream music to my stereo from ITunes.
thank you for any assistance. i am pulling my hair out.

Try temporarily disabling the Windows 7 firewall, and then, try accessing the AirPort with the AirPort Utility again.

Will Airport work with Sprint Airave?

I have read this will not work together. I think i need a new router, and want to switch to airport. But have heard that might not work with airave, which is crucial for my cell reception at home.

I don't know, my AiRave has been crashing alot, and now the Airport Express is crashing at the same time. Green light remains on, ID broadcast is interrupted.
I don't know why. Very frustrating.

Will Airport work with WildBlue?

Will the Airport (any version) work with WildBlue satellite internet service? We have 2 Macs and 2 PCs in the house. Does each computer need the WildBlue software installed? Wireless is voodoo to me...

They say it does. The Mac system requirement is basically Tiger or better. You do not need any client software installed.
WildBlue FAQ
They do say you are "required to have an up-to-date antivirus software installed on your PC". I would infer that statement applies to PCs and not Macs.
I'd be interested to hear about your experience with Wildblue. I ruled out both Hugenet and WB some time ago due to lukewarm user reviews. I concluded dialup is cheaper and more reliable.

Does the Xbox 360 wireless adapter even work with the WRT54G wireless router?!!? If so, how???

I just bought a WRT54G wireless router (Ver 8.0; firmware updated to latest). I have successfully connected my wireless laptop using WEP security, but I'm at wits end trying to get the Xbox 360 wireless adapter to work. (It worked just fine with my Netgear router until that router recently died.)
When I do the "Test Media Connection" routine (you XBox 360 users know what I'm referring to), the Xbox immediately recognizes the Network Adapter and indicates that it is connected to the Wireless Network, but it inevitably fails the next step in the process: IP Address. I have the set-up for the IP address to be assigned automatically by the router (which is set for DHCP Server enabled).
I have gone around the mountain innumerable times myself and then with well-meaning friends who say try this, try that, try this, try that. I've had to re-establish my laptop set-up so many times I wanna scream!
Are the Xbox 360 wireless adapter and the WRT54G even compatible? If so, what am I missing here? I'm not too technical and obviously in over my head, but this ought not be that hard.
Please, please do NOT respond unless you KNOW the answer! I don't mean to be curt, but I'm over / past "suggestions to try."
Thank you VERY much for your time and consideration if you can help me.

I don't think that the X-BOX adapter is not compatible to wireless rotuer .... there are few settings you can try on the router ... Access router setup page ... Please click on the tab "Application and gaming" and click on sub tab "Port range forwarding" 1) On the first line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box type in 88, in end box type in 88, in protocol keep it both, in ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box. 2) On the second line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box type in 3074, in end box type in 3074, in protocol keep it both, in ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box. 3) Now save the settings 4) Once you return to the setup page, click on the tab "Administration" and disable the UPNP and save the settings. 5) Now assign the given ip address on your xbox ip address :- 192.168.1.20 subnet mask :- 255.255.255.0 default gateway :- 192.168.1.1 Please assign the dns address on the xbox primary dns :- 4.2.2.2 secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1 6) Please try to test your xbox live. Hope it works ...

Will airport work with a simple USB wireless adapter?

I'm considering setting my folks up with one or maybe two airports for wireless audio through their house. They don't have any wireless gear at the moment. Will it be ok to buy a cheap USB wireless adapter for their PC to transmit to the airports?
I'm considering this one: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/107691
My worry is that it might not send a strong enough signal. What do you reckon?
thanks!

I don't have first-hand knowledge of this particular USB wireless adapter, but it should be compatible with the AirPort base stations, as it is 802.11b/g-compliant and supports both WEP & WPA encryption.

Will airport work with direct tv genie?

I cannot get direct tv Genie to work wirelessly with my airport base station. Wireless works fine with macbook pro, ipad, and cell phone but not with direct tv genie. Anybody have any ideas?

No, not directly. If they offer an IOS app you may be able to use airplay to stream content

Just disable the gameport on "Device Manager" to see if it's the culprit.
Have you also played with mouse settings (acceleration and saple rate)?

Will leopard work with the current 2.16ghz mac book with 2gb ram?

hey just a quick question new to the whole mac thing and was just wanting to know will i be able to upgrade to leopard on my white mac book 2.16ghz with 2gb of ram and 120 gb harddrive?
will it run smoothly?
thanks simon

The terms of use actually says:
"Speculations or rumors about unannounced products."
I would take that to mean questions and speculation about products which have been announced would be okay. Stuff like "Do you think Leopard will be able to do this or that" would seem to be okay.
I think Apple's intent is to keep speculation and/or rumors about products which may not even exist to a minimum.
Granted, no one, apart from developers under a NDA, have experience with Leopard... and even they don't know what the "secret" features are... but I think we're okay chatting about that stuff. They have a major OS overhaul coming in just a few months. I can't imagine they wouldn't expect people to chat about it... beyond what they have posted.

Help! Will airport work with my laptop

My laptop is Powerbook G3 233 MHZ M4753 it has the system files from the airport card. But everytime I search on ebay for one they all look like the wrong one

Karl,
Possibly we do not have enough information. When you say it will not fit, are you referring to the PCMCIA card slot on the left edge of the powerbook? If you have tried to push a PC card into the slot and it does not slide in, possibly the card slot is locked...this can happen.
Open a paperclip and push it into the little hole next to the slot (the slot has a spring-loaded cover). If you push firmly enough, you will hear the lock disengage IF it is locked. Inserting a PC card requires extra effort as you reach the locking mechanism; you may want to hold the opposite end of the powerbook as you push the card in...you will hear it lock.
