There are faster speeds offered through two techniques: proprietary "speed boost" systems and "pre-N" technologies. The proprietary systems work ok, but both your wireless router/…

i see more expensive wireless access points out there. would it even be worth it to get a better one? if so what is a really good one around 120 dollars?

So, my beautiful new MacBook showed up on my doorstep yesterday. Happily I unwrapped it (amazing how Apple can even make their packing styrofoam look cool) but I was immediately b…

Need more info: network settings, particularly your router's security settings, are probably the culprit. Using WEP? That is a bit of a pain when adding a Mac to an existing netw…

So you've got access to your wireless LAN, but the internet doesn't work through the MBP? That seems really odd to me, I can't imagine what settings on the Mac would prevent intern…

Thanks for the suggestions and offers for help! I accidentally came across the solution. I simply needed to change the "Channel" setting on my linksys router from channel 6 to ch…

It could easily have been an interference issue; just about EVERY new wireless access point/router comes out of the box set for channels 6 or 7, and not many people do anything but…

How long has it been since the airport extreme debuted? The airport express was a nice gadget but shouldn't there be another update to the airport family soon? I have never worke…

You must be cautious when considering a third party's extremely high rate claims; they ALL depend on having THEIR client hardware and thus you cannot reach those speeds with an Air…

Glenn, thanks for the words. I'm personally not concerned with range as I have a G5, my wife has the XP laptop. In fact, I may use the ethernet connection on the ABS. I also hav…

Yes, the Express will act as a range extender for an AirPort Base Station. Will it act as a repeater for an AirPort card? Good darn question! Sorry I can't help with that...I …

I wonder if anyone has figured out how to get the Airport Express to support the modem on its usb port. Since I have a Macbook Pro I had to buy the modem. But I would be much hap…

I just got a new modem from Verizon Online (thank the guy who invented negotiations...i was able to talk them into a new free modem!) Anyways, i dont have airport in my mac and i p…

are you sure...all i see is aboutt routers... im referring to the wifi card that should go into the computer itself...

hi I've been using an unsecured wireless network for sometime, with permission but without knowing anything about the router (there's a language problem happening because I'm in ja…

I have an indigo 366mhz G3 iBook & would like to set it up with wireless access so I can access my home network around the house. The thing is original Airports cards are hard…

Mac-compatible ones are very hard to find. There are a few on eBay but at inflated prices. I decided to go with a wireless Ethernet bridge instead.

I've never heard of one of those. Thanks for replying I'm off to google 'wireless ehernet bridge'

An ethernet bridge converts/connects two different networks. In the case of a wireless ethernet bridge, it's going to connect a wireless network with a wired one. This effectivel…

nice find that list, cheers!

Hi, I've bought a Apple refurbed Mac mini which came without Airport Extreme installed. If I buy something like the Belkin Wireless Network Access Point, I take it I can just plug…

I don't think that's the device you're looking for. This one joins your wireless computers with your wired network. Belkin offers this device which will plug into your mini's eth…
