airport

(Moderators feel free to move this thread, I didn’t know where to put it) Here’s the deal: I don’t have an AirPort card for my G5. Now, the logical thing to do is to buy a used one from eBay but I don’t want to spend money. I have a few Ethernet cables, an old Apple airport router from early...

So here's the situation I am in. I am trying to use my AirPort express in my university dorm room but the main network uses 802.11x authentication method that the AirPort Express does not support. To fix this, my university offers a second Wi-Fi network where each device gets a unique password...

My Airport Extreme died & I replaced it with an ASUS router: all good. My apt. building is old & wireless coverage is not great, so the way I had connected to my Roku in the living room from the internet access point in the 2nd bedroom was as follows: Cable modem-->router-->MoCA adapter...

I have the five and sixth generation airport wifi routers and I believe both are called AirPort Extreme. I also believe that although the sixth gen looks different and taller that it does not contain any sort of hard drive inside. With that being said, I hear that both mode also allow for an...

I have been using 3 airport extremes connected via hardwire for a number of years and I am considering upgrading to something else. Our house is two stories and I currently have the three extremes (latest model) spread pretty evenly throughout the house. I have had to reboot them more often...

I've recently taken my early 2008 MacBook Pro 15 part to make some component replacements and diagnose a few things. This included taking the fans out, the logic board out, and the screen out. After putting it all back together and booting it up, the system is not detecting the wifi card (the...

Has anyone heard of rumors of an upcoming release of AirPort Express, Extreme, and Time Capsule by Apple? The Eurasian Economic Commission's website published a notification on April 29, 2021 for a product release of Apple-branded Access Points for AirPort Express (Model A1392), AirPort...

My router was on the fritz so yesterday I purchased a Netgear R6900v2, so far the performance is far less on my wireless apple devices than my apple airpport extreme 802.11ac. my apple tv's, iPads, phones all have good signal but are running seriously slower speeds. what am I either...

Talking specifically about the original AirPort cards that shipped during the G3 era. From what I understand, the original AirPort cards lacked an antenna. So lets take a Clamshell, for example. It has both a modem and antenna built in, but you'd still need an AirPort card to connect...

I want to use a program that in the past has had some security issues. (I'd rather not say what it is because I don't want the discussion to turn into a debate about the program.) As such, I don't want to put it on my Mac that I use for bank accounts, etc. I was thinking to get an iPad or maybe...

Hey, I'm from Belgium and I wanted to buy the new iphone SE 2020 here in Belgium. It got advertised as a $399 phone so I thouht that it would be even cheaper in Belgium due to the currency difference, but no, it's €489 wich is just too much. So I thougt, I have a friend in America that can just...

Is it possible to access my Data->File Server files if I'm not on the Airports network at home. I have a large collection of movies in this folder that I'd like to access abroad. Is this possible?

According to this, the airport card slot on an iBook G3 is just a regular PC Card slot. I was wondering if anyone here ever tried a third-party PCMCIA Wi-Fi card -or even other PCMCIA cards, like a USB adapter- and if something like this would work, disregarding obvious size differences.

I have a 2nd gen AirPort Express running 7.8.1 firmware (latest version) and keeps either disconnecting WiFi periodically or staying connected but with no internet connection even when Comcast router is working and connected to the internet. I did a Factory Reset yesterday but that did not...

Hi, A friend of mine dropped his MBP 15" Retina Early 2013 and the wifi stopped working. I helped him buy and install a "new" AirPort/Bluetooth board (661-6534) as well as installing macOS Catalina, and everything seemed to be working just fine. Until he tried to log in to App Store/iTunes that...

I have a Mac mini 2018 i7 256GB storage and 8GB RAM. It runs Mojave. Very happy so far. I had to save money on the storage of course so I was lately running out of space. I sometimes connect my MBP on the network and use my other's Mac storage. A couple of days ago I used an old HDD and...

One of the offsite places I work at regularly has two open wifi routers (same name). macOS 10.14.5 keeps selecting the weakest signal (both on 2.4GHz, one on Ch1, other on Ch8) How do I force connection to a certain BSSID, airport prefs JoinMode=Strongest has no effect. airport -BSSID etc has...

Just wanted to get some opinions on mesh networking from anyone who cares to chime in. I have decided to retire the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express that I’m currently using, and I was about 2 days away from buying an Eero setup when the Amazon news broke, so I had to go back to the drawing...

I've always found these details so useful within Apple's AirPorts and was wondering if anyone could let me know of other routers that have a similar *live* feature. And all of this info is available within both the iOS and Mac apps. What I want is to see is; current data rate/link speed, current...
