Wireless 802.11n card for iMac G5

I am running a 802.11n wireless network (linksys) with WPA Personal security. Is there any USB or internal adapter to allow a wireless connection to my home network. I have a iMac G5 Power mac 8.2 and the airport card worked fine with the g class network? Apple's official stance is that they do not provide or support any external or 3rd party device to assist. They suggest I drop back dwon to a g network. So much for cutting edge...

rottencore, Welcome to the discussion area!
There is no internal solution. For an external USB solution, look at Quickertek.

802.11n upgrades for iMac & MacBook

For any who have been waiting for upgrades for older intel machines Quickertek has new user installable 802.11n cards for iMacs & MacBooks.

2 GHz Power PC iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

This has been said many times, but I'll say it again: Unless you're having them do the installation, the QuickerTek cards are a rip-off. You can save $100 by buying a Mac Pro Airport Extreme Upgrade card for $49. It's the same card that QuickerTek is selling for their MacBook, MacBook Pro, and iMac upgrades, which means they're getting about a 200% markup.

Recommended 802.11n cards for PCs w/ AirPort?

For PCs, are there any recommended wireless N cards for the AirPort? I know most of the generic vendors (Linksys, etc.) recommend you use their brand of NICs as well.
As Apple doesn't have PC NICs, what brands are recommended for maximum performance?

Any wireless card should work, providing that it is "n" capable. Of course the vendors want you to buy their stuff.
The letters (b,g,n) all indicate versions of the same wireless protocol.

802.11N patch for iMac?

I have an N-capable router in my house and would like to know if the N patch for Apples will enable my iMac Core 1 Duo or my daughter's Mini (Core Solo) to access my wireless at N speeds.
Also, if it will, then can I get a link to the download?
Thanks!

I was afraid of that.
Maybe it's time for that 24" model.
Thanks!

Will there be a 802.11n enabler for my core duo MBP in the future????

I bought this mbp for 2400. and you are telling me i cant even take advantage of the 802.11n when it comes out. Does anyone have NEWS on whether the core duos will have support for the 802.11n.

<hr>i hope we mbp CD owners can swap the non 802.11n cards for the newer 802.11n cards in the mbp C2D... let's see.
actually it would be nice if someone from apple could post here if that's possible, and if not, why....<hr>
Based on Apple's past track record, I don't see it happening. However, as I've pointed out in at least one other thread, all hope is not lost: For $119 you can get an 802.11n ExpressCard from Belkin. With the Airport card in the MBP turned off, you'll probably get about the same battery life.

Will 802.11n card fit into 2005 iMac?

Is there any point? Perhaps not, but I want to consign my iMac G5 to a workshop studio in my garden, and I need to get a wi-fi card for it first. Will the newer 802.11n cards fit in old 2005 G5 iMacs, or is the slot only intended for the older 802.11g cards?

Will the newer 802.11n cards fit in old 2005 G5 iMacs...
No
...or is the slot only intended for the older 802.11g cards?
Yes, only for the AirPort Extreme card.

802.11n Enabler for MacBook Pro not included

Apple's page about the Airport Extreme Base Station says, "Most new Mac computers ship with built-in 802.11n wireless support that can be easily enabled with the installation of enabler software included with new AirPort Extreme wireless base station (see sidebar)."
Yesterday I purchased the Airport Extreme 802.11n WiFi Wireless Base Station (Model MB053ZA/A A1143). I have installed it OK and it is running fine. But I now want to "enable" 802.11n on my MacBook Pro but can not figure out how to do it.
I have searched everywhere through the box and looked everywhere on the one install disk (disk version 2.1 2Z681-6107-A) but I can not find anything that looks like enabler software for the WiFi network card in my MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo. The en1 page in Network Utility shows Model: Wireless Network Adapter (802.11 a/b/g).
How is the enabler normally shipped in the AirPort Extreme wireless base station package? On a separate disk? On the install disk? As a free download?

Peter

There were several MacBook Pro models with 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo processors. Your computer must be have a Core 2 Duo processor to qualify for the enabler.
How is the enabler normally shipped in the AirPort Extreme wireless base station package? On a separate disk? On the install disk? As a free download?
There is only a single installation disk that is provided with the base station. The enabler software is located within the AirPort.mpkg package. There is a download, but it is not free. (ref: AirPort Extreme 802.11n Enabler for Mac)

802.11n card in an older MacBook Pro

I have looked around & it seems you can buy an Airport Extreme 802.11n card from the Fastmac online store. I watched the instructional video on Macworld of the guy installing it & it seems pretty easy & the performance improved greatly in his laptop. Before I follow through with this, I just wanted to check & see if anyone else has done this self-installed upgrade & how it worked out for them. I want to call Apple to see if they will do it for me, but I don't believe they will. My laptop is still under warranty (ends in mid 2009) & I would hate to void that warranty, but if Apple wont give me an upgrade that was available a year after I bought my laptop, then I will have to do it myself. I love Apple, but sometimes they just seem to zip by too fast & forget about their previous models & that customers still own them. So if anyone could shed some light on the matter, it would be really great. Thanks.

Well, I am not looking for a faster connection with file transfers within the house, what I am looking for is a solid, stable, consistent, connection. We just bought a new NetGear wireless router & the PC that is hard wired into it works fine, we were hoping that it would output a strong signal throughout the house for my laptop & the Wii & DS's. The Wii & the DS's work great, but for some reason my laptop can't keep the connection for more than 5 minutes at a time. It is VERY frustrating. I have read in several forums, where people have had the same problem, the MacBook Pro (older model) just can't hold onto a connection for more than a few minutes. I was in the same room as the router & my airport bars would go from 4, to 2, to 1 & then no signal & would have to search for an access point & then connect to it, only to have go through that same mess all over again. This is why I wanted to switch to a "n" card instead of "g". So that I would have a more stable connection. The router says that the "g" connection is supported up to a few hundred feet away from the router... I'm lucky if I keep a connection when I am sitting on a chair with the router underneath me.

Problems connecting on Wireless 802.11n with my T61 with Intel Wireless AGN

Hi, I live in Thailand and have a similar problem as others with my Intel Wireless AGN connection as others. I have a D-Link Model DSL-2740B Rangebooster N ADSL2/2+ Modem Router. It is supposed to support 802.11n draft wireless connections of up to a maximum of 270 MBPS versus 54 MBPS for 802-11G wireless. Of course, I don't expect it to reach the maximum transfer speed, particularly here in Thaiand, however I would expect it to produce results better than the 54 MBPS rate for 802-11G. I first tried it on my ThinkPad T61 which incorporates Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN. When connected, it shows a speed of 54MBPS (802-11G) instead of higher wireless 802-11n speeds. I've upgraded my router to the latest firmware and have tried different configurations with no improvement in performance. One think I have noted is that when I make an on-line configuration change to my router configuration then select "apply", immediately my ThinkPad rate changes to 150 MBPS momentarily then my connection is lost (to be expected as the router changes are being implemented), followed by reconnection of wireless signal only to return at 54 MBPS again. I also have an older ThinkPad model without built-in wireless capability so I purchased a Belkin wireless 802.11n USB adapter to connect to my router. Again, the maximum connection is at 54 MBPS. When I repeat configuration changes to my router as I did above, my ThinkPad connection momentarily changes to only 1 MBPS instead of 150 MBPS as in my other T61 ThinkPad then reverts back to 54 MBPS once the configuration changes have been completed. Has anyone successfully used wireless 802.11n successfully at the higher transfer rates (above 54 MBPS)? Is it possible that my TOT Goldcyber connection speed is artificially limited? I notice that my rated speed for my desktop computer connected to my same D-Link DSL-2740B only indicates a rated speed of 100 MBPS. I use Vista Home Premium 64-bit on my destop, Vista Home Premium 32-bit on my ThinkPad T61, but us Windows XP Professional on my older ThinkPad. I feel that my problem is either with my ADSL carrier (TOT) or compatibility with my D-Link DSL-2740B Modem Router and my ThinkPad T61 internal wireless card and/or Belkin wireless n USB adapter. IT-City is letting me swap out the Belkin USB for the D-Link Rangebooster n DWA-140 USB adapter next week when they restock. The only other think that I can think of is that wireless n just doesn't work in Thailand and that maybe I should just stick with wireless G and go with a higher powered wireless USB model such as the business rated EmGenius EUB 362 EXT. Has anyone used this model and had good success with it; I've heard that it is a long range model and has the capability of reaching 108 MBPS through some sort of magic? Looking forward to reading your replies and possible solution.

Hi!
Intel Wi-Fi cards support full 802.11n speed of 300 Mb/s working at 5 GHz range only. Your D-Link DSL-2740B works only in 2.4 GHz range. So to get 300 Mb/s you have to get another wi-fi router that supports 802.11n in both 2.4 and 5 GHz, for instance Lynksys WRT610N or Apple Airport Extreme or whatever.

Where Can I Get An 802.11n Card???

Anyone Know Where I Can Purchase An 802.11n Card???

Are you actually getting the 802.11n speeds? Have you checked the wireless card that is installed in your MacBook so that you are sure it is the newer card? Remember that these are backwards compatible. This was an add on for the newer core2duo MacBook Pro and C2D MacBooks. Apple did not include it until the newer versions came out.
I guess there is a chance you might have one if it was built in the last week of core duo models and they had already got the 802.11 modules in. Which as I said Apple did not start doing till the core 2 duo.
I only know that when these modules were checked by different people none found the new modules in the core duo. That is why people are upgrading theirs now.
I guess the important thing is your happy with the speeds you are getting:->

Wireless mini PCI card for Satellite P10

Hi all,
can anyone help me find a wireless mini pci card for my Satellite P10-304 in the UK?

Hi
I found several WLAn minPCI Wlan cards which could be compatible with the Satellite P10 notebook.
Wireless LAN card PA3212U-4MPC (Agere 802.11b)
PA3273U-2MPC (Atheros 802.11ab)
PA3300U-1MPC (Atheros 802.11g)
PA3298U-1MPC (Atheros 802.11a/g)
Please take a look on the WLan 802.11 standards!
If you WLan router support an 802.11 standard I would recommend taking the PA3273U-2MPC or PA3212U-4MPC

Range Extender not working on Wireless 802.11n

I've started a new topic to ensure this gets the correct attention. For the back story see this forum topic. http://community.linksys.com/t5/Range-Expanders/Can-t-find-Range-Extender-after-installing-firmware-...
Long story short the RE1000 Range Extender is not working (connecting, extending) on Wireless 802.11n after the firmware upgrade. As a result the device is not useful because the devices that attempt to connect to it are NOT expecting the wireless level to change and thus just get stuck in limbo land.
My wifi network (as of writing this) SSID is called "SeriesOfTubez" and is broadcasting on b/g/n. However as you can see by the wireless network survey (from the router) all other devices connect on "n" but the RE1000 is only connecting/broadcasting on "b/g" (not "n")
Is there a setting somewhere to force it to use "n" or does Cisco/Linksys need to fix the firmware again to get it right? or do I need to take the unit back to the store and buy another brand that properly supports 802.11n?

Great to hear that, Steve. Keep your eyes open and observe your connection. Don't worry, Linksys Support is available 24/7. I've had a number of great support experiences from them even at ungodly hours!

Tv tuner card for imac 400mhz powerpc g3

tv tuner card for imac 400mhz powerpc g3 - 256ram - I'm running os x 10.3.9. Does anyone know of a tv tuner card or device that I can use to watch tv on my imac?

Unfortunately most of these TV devices require USB2 bandwidth so are not suitable for the iMac G3.
The Firewire versions (EyeTV 310, 410 and 610 depending on input type) are the only options.
The EyeTV 250 is an analogue only Tuner that does work on USB1.1 but in a low quality mode only.
