Wireless Card Help

I have a Powerbook G4 Ti. 867 Ghz that doesnt have a wireless card. I was wondering what kind of wireless card that I need to have wireless capabilities. I was also confused about what drivers I need for each different card.
Thanks

here is the specs page for you computer.
http://support.apple.com/specs/powerbook/PowerBookG41GHz-867MHz.html
it came with an optional Airport Card. there are 2 different airport cards.
the regular " Airport" and "Airport Extreme" . you will be needeing the regular one. You will not be able to find one of these on the Apple Store Online. your best bet is to find a 3rd party reseller that still has some.

T400 wireless card help

Hi all,
My T400 lately has been having problems with its wireless. It used to just be that the computer would some times randomly drop me and say there were no connections nearby when I had been connected to my home internet for a few hours in a row. A restart would fix this.
However, in the last few days, it's been happening more and more frequently. If i hit Fn+F5, it would only show my bluetooth, but no option to activate my wireless antenna (it IS on btw). Checking the device manager, the wireless card is not visible, and some times upon hitting refresh and re-search for hardware, it shows up again, only to intermittantly drop out of visibility on the device manager again and back on.
My computer is less than 6 months old (got it in December), does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance

go into your control panel, system, device manager and right click on the wireless card and select property.
Under the property page, select maximum power output, switch off any power saving feature and select roaming aggressiveness to low.

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)?

Wireless Adapter Card Help.

I recently moved back to my parents house after living away at university for a year, since then they have changed the ISP from AOL Broadband to BT Infinity and I found my wireless card doesn't seem to be compatible. Whenever I turn my PC on I don't know if I'll be able to get an internet connection and if I do it'll only last about an hour, at which point it disconnects and won't reconnect until I restart my computer.
I need some help to see if anyone knows why it's doing this and if it is a problem with the card can anyone suggest a good wireless card.
I need a card compatible with my PC Specs, BT infinity and good enough for online gaming e.g. World of Warcraft, League of Legends etc.
PC Specs:
Motherboard: ASRock K10N78FullHD-hSLI
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 250 Processor 3.00 Ghz
Graphics Card: GeForce 9400 GT
RAM: 4GB
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit
I have tried two wireless cards both were TP Links, though I can't remember the model, and neither have worked with my internet.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
As you have already tried two cards and neither work buying a third without confirming that it is your WiFi card causing the problem may be a waste of time and money. If possible i would try to use one of the cards you are having issues with in another computer and confirm you get the same issue. Ideally try this with the PC in the same place as the problem one and also try it in the same room as your home hub. If you card works on the other machine then some more investigaion would be needed to find out what is causing the problem on your PC.
If you just want to buy something new then i have found this pair to work well together, the connection is very stable, the Antenna is optional, but has helped me get even more range out of the card.
TP-Link TL-WN951N Advance Wireless N PCI Adapter
TP-Link TL-ANT2405C 2.4Ghz 5dbi Indoor Omni-Directional Antenna
I bought the pair of these off Amazon for just under £30, so not the cheapest but they have worked well for me.
A brief look at your motherboard spec suggests it has the required PCI slot, but i'll leave that to you to double check

Wireless Card Upgrade Help!

Hello,
First post so be gentle with me! I need some help upgrading my wireless card on my Compaq nx6310 laptop. I have the original card in there since new and I now have a much faster fibre connection with a Hauwei HG533 wireless router so I understand if I upgrade the wireless card to an all singing all dancing 802.11 b/g/n one I can connect at a faster speed. I´m running XP Home SP3. I understand the card must be a genuine HP product or on the bios whitelist but I don´t know if one is available for my kit and where I can get one. I want the best available. I have attached some pics. of the existing one.
Thank you in advance for any help......
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Since your interest is in upgrading to an802.11b\g\n wireless adapter then you simplest solution is to purchase a Type I, or Type II , or Type III Cardbus wireless card. You may have to look for that type of card in the preowned market.
The card plugs into the slot(s) on the left-hand of your notebook.
There are no internal network adapter currently made that will fit your notebook.
Your notebook is of a notebook generation when only 802.11 a\b\g existed and that is what makes cardbus adapters your best option.

Help With Third Party Wireless Cards

Hello, I am needing some help with third party wireless cards. I have purchased and installed the Linksys WMP54G wireless PCI card into my G4. From what ive seen on the discussions page here, this card is known to work with the G4s in place of the more expensive Airport Extreme card. The only problem is that my G4 doesnt even recognize that the card is in the PCI slot. Ive tryed the other PCI slots and still nothing. Previously, i have tried using a belkin and a d-link card that have been known to work in the G4s as well, and had the same problem. I am 100% sure that the card is seated correctly, and cant think of any other reason why it shouldnt detect that something is in the slot. If anyone can inform me what im doing wrong, or has any info on how to get it working, that would be great. Thanks for your time,

Powermac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.8) 2 gb ram, 200 gb hd, dual display

Yes, i run Digidesigns audio editing program called Protools on my Mac. It uses a PCI card to import mic/line audio signals into the program from the hardware interface. I tried moving the Digidesign card and putting the wireless card in the same slot, and still nothing, although the Digidesign card works fine in the other slots. Each time i moved the Digidesign card, it showed up in the different slots, although the ones that were open did not show up at all. Only the PCI slots that are in use show up in ASP on my machine. I have the FW-800 version of the G4, so im not sure if that makes any difference. I have never erased the PRAM before, would you be able to give me directions on how to do that? Thanks a ton for your help. =)

Help Laptop Cannot Detect my Wireless Card Satellite L305 S5946

So I had to re-install windows to fix a couple of issues I was having. I currently have everything working except now this laptop is not registering that it has a wireless card. I can connect through ethernet and it shows that connection, but it shows no device for the wireless connection and will not read any wireless networks. THe only thing I have under Network Connections in Device Manager is for the Realtek RTL 8102E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC NDIS 6.0. Also under Manage Connections, it shows only a Lan Connection for wired connection. Anyone have any ideas? This laptop is running vista currently. Any help would be appreciated, I am completely stumped at this point. Thanks! (PS yes I know there is a button to turn wireless on and off, and it is currently switched to on and the light is lit up for wireless)

I checked a couple things. On your computer you can turn off the LAN in the Bios, but not the wireless card. Your computer came with an Athros 802.11b/g card. And the computer should be seeing it. But if it isn't, try reinstalling the driver. Or have a technician look at the computer and verify that the card is there and not half out of the slot or damaged.

KT4AV hates Wireless Card. NewB Help

Hey all. My computer runs to perfection up until I install a wireless network card (D-LINK G520 rev.b). After installation I can get an "excellent" connection to my wireless network but my computer runs like heck and locks up constantly. Sometimes everything runs smoothly. But the instant I run too many programs or download something... I'm asking for it. It's as if I can see the network activity in my mouse movements (i.e. mouse pointer jumps as network connection jumps).
My computer is a good 25-30 feet from the wireless router so I don't want to thread any ethernet cord over.
Any insight?? I would really appreciate the help as I'm about to bash my head in with computers (My other computer's motherboard is out on RMA).
here are my computer details to the best of my knowledge:
KT4AV MSI mobo, I haven't altered the bios... original/default version & settings
AMD Athlon XP 1500+
F.S.B is 133MHz (??)... not to sure on that one
512 MB RAM Kingston Aluminum
ATI RADEON 9600 Pro with version 4.6
Power supply is 330W unknown brand
Primary IDE Master is 40GB HD
Primary IDE Slave is 60GB HD
Secondary IDE Master is TDK CDRW 241040B
Secondary IDE Slave is JLMS (LiteOn) DVD-ROM
PCI Slots (other than vid card and wireless card) is the USB card that came with the mobo
Windows XP Pro with SP1
I hope that's everything. I'm not sure how to check the core temp other than the BIOS. I have some Thermaltake heat sink monster thing (was big and expensive)... two other standard fans...
And this is my secondary computer so there's not a lot installed on here... (33GB and 57GB free respectively per HD)
Any ideas???
Thanks -> Mr_Self_Destruct
P.S. the fact that I made it to the end of this posting w/o a crash is remarkable!

Well there's a 400W PSU in my comp now and my computer is still running really rough. Real herky/jerky. I attempted to download something and the OS froze up almost immediately. So the PSU wasn't the solution.
And yes... I do have the latest drivers for this wireless card (just checked http://www.dlink.com).
Any further ideas??
As I said before... I can put in an ethernet cable and the comp runs fine. But I don't want to.

Verizon Wireless installer for a wireless card not working. Help?

I have this wireless card from Verizon Wireless that lets me use internet anywhere i want. Its called the USB727 manufactured by Novatel Wireless. Bundled with this toy came a disc with the installer. When i tried to pop it into my iBook running OS X 10.4.11 it wouldn't begin the auto run. When I clicked the disc on my desktop i was given a .dmg file instead of the normal Verizon logo. When i opened it i was given two options the user manual and the actual installer. The installer logo was a piece of paper instead of the normal open-cardboard box. When i clicked it I'm given a window with the title folder actions setup, the setup doesn't show up.

Hi Eddie, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Not sure why it looks like that, I'd try this...
Not certain, but this can fix myriad problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then reboot & try to install.
Found this...
The main thing is, you need to install the VZaccessmonitor to get the right drivers, but after that you can connect through Internet Connect, as if it twere a regular modem. If you open internet connect, or the system prefs while configuring and setting up initially with the VZaccessmonitor, it will cause the repeating dialogues. I had to uninstall, make sure not to open system prefs while the VZ install ran, and then reboot--and the install had produced a new location for me.

Wireless card BCM4313 no connection at boot

Hi,
I have an HP Pavilion dv6 with a Broadcom BCM4313 wireless card. I use NETCFG and before the last kernel upgrade I was able to connect to my home wireless connection at boot without troubles. Now I have to do it manually and I need to try 2 or 3 times to see my connection active.

You could see that first I get the connection and then I lost it... for 2 or 3 times, then I could connect without problems.

I've tried to use the wl driver but it doesn't seems to work properly.
Could anyone help me please?
Thank you,

Hmm it seems your card now takes longer to connect, the 'deauthenticating by local choice' often means that the default timeout is reached and netcfg disconnects. You can try adding a specific timeout parameter to your netcfg profile:
TIMEOUT=60
That doesn't explain why it takes longer to connect than before, but at least you should be able to connect in 1 try again.
Hi,
thank you for your time!
I'v tried adding the timeout line to my profile but it doesn't change nothing
I could connect at 3rd try.
Any other idea?

Startup gets 'Network cable unplugged' on mini-PCI wireless card

I recently installed a Netgear DG834GT wireless router and now have an intermittent problem connecting my Tecra 9100 to it. If the 9100 has been shutdown for a while (like overnight), when I restart I always get 'Network cable unplugged' for the wireless connection. Rebooting a number of times (anything from 3 upwards) I eventually get connected to the router and all then works fine for hours. Even a quick restart at this point (i.e. once the wireless card has connected) does not cause a problem but as soon as I leave the machine shutdown for a length of time it fails again at reboot.
There are no errors in the Event log.
I am using the built in mini-PCI wireless card and have already upgraded to the latest driver.
Any ideas gratefully recieved, at the moment each morning is a 20-30 minute frustration of rebooting trying to get my connection working.
(Running Win2K Professional)

Checking other boards for help (Netgear etc.) it seems that the 'Network cable unplugged' is a common message when wireless connectivity is failing. However, to prove the point, I have disabled the other LAN card (for which I was also getting 'network cable unplugged' but as expected since it was). I still get the same issue with the wireless card, although now the reboots are slightly more predictable - it normally seems to succeed on the third reboot. I guess disabling the other card has changed the startup timing slightly and in that way made things slightly better.
Again, any other suggestions gratefully received. As this seems to be a timing issue at startup, I am suspicious that one of the other things that runs at that time is causing the problem.

New to the wireless world, help...

Ok, i got my first iMac a few days ago... love it btw, just getting use to the change from pc.... anyway, my question.
1: All we have is just a modem right now for the PC downstairs, it's a normal cheap compaq PC, I really wanted wired internet but i don't believe the cable guy will be able to wire from downstairs to upstairs since it's across the house and upstairs, is that possible or not?
2: My mom called the company when we were first getting the internet and she told them we want to connect two computer, the lady on the phone said, we would need 2 modems..... now i heard you can't have 2 modems on the same internet connection.. or can you? if so, that solves my first problem, i can then do wired for my computer.
3: If 1 and 2 fail and i have to go wireless, iMac comes with a wireless card/access point in them right? if so, the down stairs computer, i would need a wireless router and a wireless card for it correct? (there is no wireless card in the cheap compaq) ok well, i would think installing a wireless card would be no problem.. i hope.. if it is hard, any tips?
4: for those who have an xbox 360 and wireless network, does that wireless apdator work good? fast connection and all?

Your cable installer will more then likely run the cabling externally, up an outside wall and into the room where you want the modem.
However, you don't need two modems, and there is no reason to pay the cable company for two accounts. You can use a single account and a single modem, just connect the modem to a wired/wireless router and then plug your computers into the router, problem solved.
As to running the wires upstairs, can't help you with that, since it is to dependent on your homes floor plan. But to give you some common ideas for how to run cabling between floors:
I ideally in a two story structure you want to use the basement or crawl space for distributing networking wiring to the first floor, and the attic to distribute wiring to the second floor. The usual problem is to get wiring from the basement/crawl space to the attic.
1) Use closets, when a closet on the first floor aligns with a closet or unused area on the second floor, they (the closets) make it easy to run cabling between floors.
2) Use utility rooms, laundries, furnace, etc. These rooms like closets usually good choices to use to run cabling between floors.
3) External, when no other method is available, you can run Ethernet cabling rated for outdoor use along the outside of your home to tie the basement and attic together. Usually when run externally, look for a way to run the cable without it being plainly visible. Good choices are at the corners of a house, near drainage pipe or gutter down spots. Penetrating the house can be done via basement window sashes, and attic soffits or vents. You can also drill through the external wall to closets or utility rooms which in the house.
Remember to use outdoor rated cabling, it is resistant to cracking a breaking caused by UV exposure, as well as freeze/that cycles. Using plain Ethernet cabling can lead to having to replace it at a later date as it breaks down from exposure to the elements.
If you live in an area of the country which commonly receives thunderstorms, yo may also wish to have the external cabling connected to a lightning arrester. Good networking stores sell small lightning arresters for Ethernet cabling. You usually won't find these at your local computer store, but a search online should bring up dozens of sources.
Lastly, you can of course run wirelessly to avoid the wired cabling. However, I usually recommend wired networking whenever possible as it provides faster network access and a great deal more security.

G500 Driver_Power_State_Failure problem most likely related to Wireless Card

I recently upgraded my Lenovo G500 laptop to 8.1.
After that, I've been constantly getting BSOD every time I modify some settings on my WIreless card (Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter). For instance, changing my MAC under the"Locally Administered MAC Address" causes the Wireless configuration window to stop responding, then my wireless adapter becomes permanently disabled (I try to enable it and it says that it is enabling but the adapter remains faded out and locked in a disabled state) unless I restart or power down my laptop. If I restart, the laptop hangs for 3-5 minutes and then a BSOD comes up and suggests that I look online for DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE.
I have updated the adapter as well as most, if not all outdated drivers on my laptop with the 8.1 drivers offered on Lenovo's support pages (This includes power management, BIOS, LAN, Audio, etc.). Even attempting to voluntarily disable my wireless card causes the BSOD.
As long as I don't touch/modify such settings, I have wireless internet and all seems fine but once I do what I stated above, my laptop crashes with a BSOD. I have looked up and searched about such a BSOD but my laptop has zero problems when I put it to sleep or wake it up. My laptop functions practically flawless except for when changing/modifying settings on my wireless card.
For instance, on Whocrashed.exe:

I ran SFC /scannow and it did detect corrupted files but that has been resolved using the Restorehealth command prompt. I have tried booting to safe mode, uninstalling the adapter and then updating straight to the most current 8.1 driver and that still causes the BSOD.
I'm almost certain that my wireless card probably is defective, or the laptop is defective. I'm still under warranty but I'm hoping to fix this issue before resorting to what I deem as last resorts of factory restoring the laptop or calling Lenovo support.
I am also providing minidumps, driver lists and a whole ton of useful information on my Skydrive:
http://sdrv.ms/17OIYda
Any suggestions or help on this matter would be greatly appreciated as I feel like I've exhausted all other methods.
Moderator Note; subject edited; system type added

"If I restart, the laptop hangs for 3-5 minutes and then a BSOD comes up and suggests that I look online for DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE."
I had the exact same problem on a Thinkpad Helix after upgrading to Windows 8.1, although I do not know if it was in anyway related to the wireless hardware as you described. However, I noted that in the Device Manager many wireless hardware components had been highlighted with an exclamation mark since the problem had occured (e.g. Bluetooth, Geolocation, Broadband). Here is how I fixed it:
1. I went to System Settings / Device Manager.
2. Disabled all devices that were highlighted with an exclamation mark. I noted that the Device Manager would not respond after disabling so I closed it and then chose to not wait (i.e. forced the Device Manager to close).
3. Repeated step (2.) until all devices highlighted with an exclamation mark were disabled.
4. Restarted the laptop (I don't know if I had to force the shut down via power off at that time, but it may be necessary or you wait for the BSOD).
5. Repeated step (1.) and uninstalled all the drivers of the devices disabled in steps (2.) to (3.), enabling the option to remove the driver from the system, where possible.
6. Restarted the system. This time the shutdown should only take a few seconds.
So far, everything works fine again and I cannot identify any limitations through the disabling and uninstalling of devices (esp. wireless devices do work flawlessly).
Hope this works for some of you guys out there as well. Let me know.
Good luck!
