Dead correct Edward! It will have absolutely no effect on it at all. It be
nice if they had changed the name for the Airport Extreme since this new
model is so radically different.

Thanks, David Moyle

Hi David

Thanks for the info.

Does this mean there is no point in getting the enabler for my Intel  
based MacBook Pro unless I am going to purchase a new airport  
extreme? It will have no effect on my 'old' extreme base station?

Best wishes
edward

Hey Edward

In basic no.

The IEEE specification of IEEE 802.11n is the new standard of wireless
transfer to eventually replace 802.11g. It has a transfer rate of  
108Mbps
compared to 802.11g's of only 54Mbps. The new standard is also  
supposed to

get better range and quality.

Only the brand new Airport Extremes (In a square box which looks  
like a
miniature Mac Mini) can work at 802.11n or any other new Access  
Point which
operates at 802.11n. Now take note, the update provided by Apple  
which costs
a few dollars I believe only works on the latest Intel Macs minus  
the budget
17" iMac. (I just checked, it costs $2.99AUD) (Important note: The  
Enabler
is included free with the new AirPort Extreme Base Station with  
802.11n. If
you purchase a new AirPort Extreme Base Station, you do not need to  
purchase

the Enabler separately.)

Another thing to throw into the equation is the specification of  
802.11n
hasn't been ratified by the IEEE and isn't supported by many  
companies or
access points, despite this Apple has released the new Apple  
Airports and

the latest computers with this feature.

I hope that answered your question and didn't confuse you more..

Thanks, David Moyle












Hi

Can someone explain please how to enable 802.11n on a MacBook Pro?
Does it require purchasing a 'key' to activate it? Will doing this
improve the quality of the connection to an airport base station?

Hey Edward

In basic no.

The IEEE specification of IEEE 802.11n is the new standard of wireless
transfer to eventually replace 802.11g. It has a transfer rate of 108Mbps
compared to 802.11g's of only 54Mbps. The new standard is also supposed to
get better range and quality.

Only the brand new Airport Extremes (In a square box which looks like a
miniature Mac Mini) can work at 802.11n or any other new Access Point which
operates at 802.11n. Now take note, the update provided by Apple which costs
a few dollars I believe only works on the latest Intel Macs minus the budget
17" iMac. (I just checked, it costs $2.99AUD) (Important note: The Enabler
is included free with the new AirPort Extreme Base Station with 802.11n. If
you purchase a new AirPort Extreme Base Station, you do not need to purchase
the Enabler separately.)

Another thing to throw into the equation is the specification of 802.11n
hasn't been ratified by the IEEE and isn't supported by many companies or
access points, despite this Apple has released the new Apple Airports and
the latest computers with this feature.

I hope that answered your question and didn't confuse you more..
