Re: airport card

[D. Fabel]

Success - finally!!!  But only because I've turned off wireless on the FIOS 
router and have hung a wireless DLink off one of the FIOS's wired LAN ports.

So, the original airport card, in a G3 iMac will support WPA!!!

Thanks for everyone's patience and suggestions!

Re: airport card

[D. Fabel]

Ok, I think I'm finally killing this thread.

I've gone into the FIOS 424 router and have tried every iteration of WPA 
settings available.  Nothing will work.  WEP works fine, but I don't want to 
leave the entire network at the WEP level.


All this is frustrating, and odd, as I can connect to my Airport Express via 
WPA without problem.  It is the 424 that I cannot connect to.  So, I'm off to 
rethink my network topology.  Maybe something that will incorporate the AE as 
an access point.

Just in case, here is the error the 424 gives me.  Does anyone recognize it?
"The password you entered is not correct for the AirPort network "Galaxy".

Which is utterly odd, as I can see the password I'm typing in and it matches 
what the router is showing me.   :(

That's categorically false. I had my old pismo set up with WPA; as others have 
stated in this thread, you have to make sure your router supports the limited 
WPA modes that the original Airport card works with.

The original AirPort card will not take a WPA so I just turn off encryption on 
mine when I need to use one., And no I'm sure not scared of nefarious users,

I'm pretty sure I've hit all the permutations that my FIOS router can do.  The

This is a bit of a long shot, but I seem to recall a discussion on
this list how certain Airport devices only support TKIP (or was it
AES?) encryption. Have you tried looking on the FIOS router to
determine which encryption type it's set to for WPA? If it's set for
one, I'd try toggling it to the other and see if your Airport will
talk to it.

The 424 works just fine with Airport cards.

Start with the basics.  Turn on the SSID.  Turn off all encryption - 
both WEP and WPA.  Make sure the Mac can connect and talk thru it 
properly.  Then enable WEP, and make sure the Mac can talk.  Then 
disable WEP and enable WPA, etc.  One step at a time.


If you're unable to do those steps, then show us what you've got. 
Show us the Airport settings and the router's settings...

Thanks everyone for all the help!  

We've determined we can connect to some, but not all WPA networks.  If our 
Airport Express is hosting the network (or other Apple gear), we are good to 
go.  If the FIOS router is the host, then we are hosed - no mixture of settings

I've got a few older routers around the house that I'd like to try out.  I am

left will be to determine which parts of the network will go.  But at least we

Re: airport card

[D. Fabel]

Sorry, I misread the B mode comment.  It "looks" like my router should support 
a B device.  I was hoping for a B only mode to further eliminate things, but 
don't have that option.

Agreed, the issue is with the security, but I'm having a hard time pinning it 
down.  I've done the WPA TKIP, WPA AES, and WPA TKIP and AES.  I've had no 
success with either setting.  However, I'm still thinking the issue is with the 
FIOS router because if I use my old AirPort Express to set up a new wireless 
network, I can connect to that without problems.

I was just now trying to get my AirPort Express to join my existing FIOS 
wireless network, but that is no longer working.  I'm finding this whole 
process rather frustrating, as it was working and hosting a USB printer prior 
to my messing around with the old iMac.  I can't figure out why I can't get it 
all back to where it was...  :(

I've enjoyed computers for MANY years.  I love tinker with them, even old ones. 
 But it always seems the most frustration occurs when playing with wireless 
network settings...

Thanks,
Doug

Make sure it's set up to use 802.11b.  Many 'g' and 'n' routers can be 
configured to not allow 802.11b devices to connect.

Try, as a test, disabling the security.

I did a test some time ago and here is what I wrote up:



We wrote here recently about how Apple included support in Tiger (and perhaps 
Panther) for using WPA with the original Airport card. Some people here said 
they couldn't get it working.


Well today I tested it out.  It works but with a specific configuration.

I tried it with my Pismo with an Original Airport card and the base station is 
an Airlink 101 Super G.

I tried WPA PSK and WPA2 PSK (WPA PSK is the same as WPA Personal) and using 
TKIP and AES with both.  The results were:

WPA PSK
TKIPWorked
AES Doesn't Work

WPA2 PSK
TKIPDoesn't Work
AES Doesn't Work

Only WPA PSK with TKIP worked.  So those trying to do this would be well 
advised to try that combo.

My D-Link "N" AP/Router supports WPA and WPA2 both enabled simultaneously and 
also AES and TKIP both enabled.  My Pismo doesn't work with that router.  I'm 
not in a hurry to test it out as a it's the main router and several computers 
connect through it.



And here is the Apple link that discusses WPA on Tiger with original Airport 
cards.

Re: airport card

[platnicat mewr]

I guarantee that an original AirPort card will work fine on a WPA/WPA2
hybrid network that supports TKIP. That's what my AirPort Extreme (latest N
model) is broadcasting, and all my G3s work fine with it.

It may depend on the OS, but the older Airport cards support WEP and WPA+TKIP. 
My old Pismo running 10.4 did.

Re: AirPort card for imac G4?

[Cyrus Griffin]

There's basically the Apple Airport card (which is a/b), the AirPort  
Extreme (which is b/g) and their current micro Airport cards that are  
not as user-installable. If you find an Airport Extreme card, it's the  
same in their laptops, iMacs, and desktops from that time. (For  
example, I could put my Airport card from my G4 iBook into our G5  
tower, it's the same card) So basically, here's the info on the three  
Apple Airport cards there are:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirPort#AirPort_802.11b_Card

Good luck. :)

Re: AirPort card for imac G4?

[Simon Royal]

Hi

Airport Extreme cards are all the same. If you have one that has it  
BTO (built to order), then this is something different and one newer  
Intel machines is a small board on the inside and not a physical card  
like the one Jim has.

The card Jim has is I presume a silver card which is user installable.

The original Airport card was used in G3 iBooks and G3 PowerBooks  
(Pismo) as well as PowerBook G4 Titaniums, early eMacs (700 and nVidia  
800Mhz), iMac G3 (slot loaders with additional Airport bracket), iMac  
G4 (upto 800Mhz), PowerMac G4 (AGP graphics 'Sawtooth up to the August  
2002 Mirror Door).

Airport Extreme cards were used in machine models after those  
mentioned above, inc: PowerBook G4 Aluminums, iBook G4, eMac ATI  
800Mhz and above, iMac G4 1Ghz and above, PowerMac G4 Mirror Door  
FW800 and above. PowerMac G5. Plus PowerPC Mac Minis.

All Intel machines have built in Airport Extreme on a mini card as  
mentioned above. Some of the very last PowerPC models also had it  
built in via a mini card.

So in short, the Airport Extreme card Jim has from his iMac G4 will  
fit, so will one from the above machines I listed.

Hope this helps.

Simon

According to this Apple web page 
, your USB 2.0 iMac requires a standard Airport Extreme card. The  
one in my hand I pulled out of my 17" iMac G4 with USB 2.0 is about  
1-7/8" wide by 2-5/16" long. The model number is A1027 and that's

Yes, there are a variety of Airport Extreme form factors in Apple  
laptops, including some that include bluetooth as well as wi-fi  
capabilities. You want the one I describe.

Re: AirPort card for imac G4?

[Steve from Raleigh]

Ah, the Apple support page specifies M8881LL/A as the model number of
the AirPort card you need, and that it is no longer available from
Apple--no surprise.
Do shop around, prices vary all over the board.
