Wireless internet cards

Hey,
I am planning to go for vacation in India and i am looking for data cards which will be compatible with Mac Book Pro. If any one have any experience with data cards in India and their compatibility to mac, please let me know the type of cards or the company providing the services in India.
Thank you,
Happy Halloween.

What do you mean by a data card? What is it you want to do?

Welcome to the discussions, Diane!

Unfortunately, you received incorrect information. The USB port on the Time Capsule will only support a printer and/or hard drive. Modems are not supported.

How and where do I install a wireless internet card in G3 PowerBook?

I own a G3 PowerBook "Pismo", Firewire, M7572. Not being familiar with working with the internals of a laptop, how and where does one install wireless internet card? Any help would be appreciated

The G3 Powerbook "Pismo" takes an original Apple Airport Card, and NOT the extreme card. The original airport card is available here:

HT2494 The wireless internet card in my macbook pro 2009 is damaged, where can I have it repaired?

The wireless internet card in my macbook pro 2009 is damaged, where can I have it replaced or is there any alternative way so that I can connect to wifi?
Thanks

Really? The AASP I went to services both Macs and iPhones (and was actually within that list,) and I was very surprised earlier that they refused to help me with repairing my iPhone 5, even if I voluntarily and expressly said that I am willing to pay for the cost. The service provider said he can't help me with anything and advised that I have it shipped to Singapore (and since that is very difficult for me now, I came here instead to ask for advice).
I will try another AASP very soon and shall update you. Thanks for your help, Clinton!

Those usb wireless internet card things ...?

My father's been pushing me to find a more budget friendly alternative to our current internet situation. We're connected with a DSL modem, it's not wireless.
He's been asking me about the usb wireless internet cards that he's seen on TV, like the ones that AT&T promote in their "find the internet everywhere" commercials.
Now, I'm finding that the service for these cards is more expensive then what we're paying now, so we probably won't be purchasing this sort of service any time soon, but I am confused as to what exactly it is.
I'm assuming that if I had one of these cards that I could get rid of the box that's connected to the wall (the modem that I connect my computer to to get the internet). But as I'm researching this I'm finding that there are "wireless internet cards" cards that allow older computers to connect to wireless modems (something that my computer can do... that most new computers can do). I would think that these wireless internet cards are different from the wireless internet devices that I'm looking for. (but maybe they're not?) I'm really confused.
If anyone could shed some light on these cards I'd be grateful Thank you!

They, for all practical purposes, are a cellphone of sorts that you attach to your computer and then it dials into the network (AT&T's, Verizon's, Sprint, etc.) and provides you with internet service just like a cellphone gives you phone service. They work just about anywhere again just like a cellphone.
AT&T's Laptop Connect cards seem to be primarily in the ExpressCard form factor, which Apple only supports in the MacBook Pro right now. They also have the older PC Cards that might work with older Apple notebooks (I think). Then there's the USB version.

This seems to be designed for business customers. I couldn't find anything suggesting that this is made available to the regular consumer market.

Wireless internet card for powerbook 1400

Can anyone recommend a wireless PC card for the Powerbook 1400? (I know...an anchient machine but I want to throw it in the kitchen for looking up recipes and other light futy stuff.) I think it needs to be a PCMCIA card or something like that. Thanks.

Richard,
You can run an 802.11b 11Mbps PC card on the 1400 with the correct wireless drivers and this is dependent on which version OS you have installed on the 1400. The card you want is the WaveLAN or Orinoco wireless PC card. And if your 1400 were running OS 9.1, you could use Apple's AirPort 1.2 software.
Here is a more extensive guide to your wireless setup:

Cant install wireless internet card

I purchased a 15" mac book pro last week. For internet, i use a Huawei data card EC 168 C, which works fine on my windows laptop. But the app file wont install on the mac.
Is there any other app file i can use for installing.. or any other tip??
Thanks
Atul

Have you contacted your wireless provider to see if they have a modem script for Mac OS X? Have you checked the Huawei data card EC 168 C forums to see if anyone else has had a similar issue and/or resolution? Have you done any google searching?

MacBook Pro (Wireless Internet) - ethernet - Windows XP (no wireless) ?

Hello,
I have MacBook Pro with wireless internet that works just dandy.
I also have a cheap IBM ThinkPad running Windows XP. It's from the stone age, so it has no wireless internet card.
Ethernet cable successfully connects the two, and I can transfer files back and forth using smb://, no problem.
But I really want is to be able to get internet on Windows using connection from my MacBook Pro.
Is this possible? Can I do it in system preferences somewhere, or would I have to go buy a router or something?
EDIT: I'm a Web Developer, so I just want to be able to connect to see how HTML files look on IE. If there is a way to setup a localhost and plug IP into Windows XP, that'd be a good enough solution.
RE-EDIT: Just figured it out on my own :S
Thanks,
-Adam

Wireless Internet Connection Speed (WRT54GS)

Have three computers. One with a hard line and the other two wireless. One of the wireless has a WVSB54GS USB Network adapter w/ Speed Booster. Well I have no clue what the problem is. My brother use to manage our internet system and he has gone off to college leaving me w/ this mess. My computer has a wireless internet card and the speed use to always be at 120 Mbps, now though it rebounds back and forth and lately it keeps at 48.0 Mbps and sometimes it just all out fails to 1.0 Mbps. The other computer w/ the USB adapter has always had a crappy speed of about 54.0 Mbps and I would really like to fix this.
Any ideas what happened to degrade my speed so much? Could I have accidentally screwed something up when I was messing w/ it previously? The one w/ the USB adapter consistently looses it's access point or when it has it cannot find the internet yet the other two don't have any problems. So I have to reset my modem/router/computer a lot till it finds it again.
Any Help or Info is greatly appreciated

There are many causes for poor wireless connections. And there are many cures:
First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna should be vertical.
Hope this helps.

Basic CD-ROM drive to combo drive/wireless internet

I have a 12-inch iBook G4 with a basic CD-ROM drive - but I want a combo drive so that I can play DVDs on my computer. Does anyone know how I can get this done and about how much it costs??
I'm also looking to find a wireless internet card for the same computer - any suggestions??

You may want to look here for drive upgrade options:
http://store.fastmac.com/advancedsearchresult.php?keywords=SuperDrive+8x
That was only a superdrive. If you are looking for an internal combo only you may want to look at otherworld computing:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/optical-drives/superdrives/
Another option is an external. This works for me for playback w/ the Apple player. If you find a cheap one and have issues look to vlc. Bus power is a major plus here.
If I were you I would consider looking into an external bus powered burner, as this will be portable to any other machines or future ones.
ex: any of the products here: http://www.lacie.com/products/range.htm?id=10037
There are successful wireless options from third parties. This link should give you a rundown of options:
http://www.macosxhints.com/search.php?query=usb+wireless&type=stories&mode=searc h&keyType=all
Unfortunately, many of these products are specific down to the last tiny letter on the outside of the box. Some are mystery products where the actual device inside the box may or may not work. As far as I know, none of these are directly supported by Apple and that, to me, is a serious drawback.
Good Luck

Can't connect to wireless internet with my airport extreme card.

hello, i need some help connecting to our wireless router. i do not have an airport base station, i am trying to connect to a third-party, secure wireless network. anyway, i've called apple, i've called linksys (the router company), and i am still using hardwire connected to the router. whenever i click the airport icon on the top taskbar, no networks show up. i have had my pc laptop in the same room as my iMac G5, and the laptop can autmatically connect to the network, but my iMac cannot. i am running out of options. i connect with a secure, wireless internet. its wep, whatever that means, and i've tried my user name and passcode numerous times, but to no avail. what do i do????

thanks for your help, but sadly this did not work. even when i click the wireless airport icon on the top taskbar, no networks show up on the pull down menu. the only option i have is 'other.' shouldn't my secured network at least show up in the pull down menu, to which i provide the password?
is there any way to get this extreme card to work? has anyone else had this same problem with their iMac G5? this is ridiculous, thanks.

Wireless internet, Do i need a card?

Okay, i've never owned myself a apple computer but i know my fair share on the pc side. I know on a pc laptop you need to have a wireless card to connect to a wireless connection (the little card thingy you stick into the side of a windows laptop). When i was looking at MacBook Pro's i noticed there was no field on wireless connection card (thingys), when i searched about internet connections i didn't find much to answer my question(s).
So, do you need to get a card to connect to wireless internet sources or is the hardware for that already built into the laptop?

Yes, you need a card. MBPs come with an Airport card already installed. If you take some time to check the specifications you will learn what is included with all Mac models. You can find specifications here:

Powerbook G4 Laptop, wont use PC card for wireless internet.

I have a G4 powerbook laptop and this model was actually put together prior to airport being installed. What I've been trying to do is insert a 802.11g card into the PC slot. I've tried both netgear and motorola and while it will detect both, it won't see it as a viable wireless internet option. I've been told that the Motorola card, wn825g, is one of the more successful options. Does anyone know a way to install the right drivers *or where to find* so that my network preferences look for aiport cards? I've been told that this card would be detected as airport but i've had no such luck.

You should be able to find the right Netgear driver ...

HELP ME UNDERSTAND WIRELESS INTERNET PLEASE!!!

IM looking into purchasing a laptop but do not have internet currently, IM totally confused on how works. Can I get wireless internet without a phone jack? Some people have also told me that a satellite laptop would be best but I would need a wireless router to connect do you have to have a service provider or can I surf the web right away? PLEASE help me!

Lets not Confuse Toshiba Sattlelite with wireless capabilties, its just a brand name and does not imply functionality in a specfic way.
There are legal ways to get free wireless internet, one i just mentioned which is the library. If you use your wireless card and find other locations over the airwaves, and they are unsecured, you could essentially hop onto them but its very illegal and there are ways of catching people stealing wireless access from other users.
If you are in the market for High Speed internet such as Comcast, or Verizon, you can go here:
