    Late 2005 PowerMac G5 - Remove Airport and place in another PowerMac G5

    I have two Late 2005 PowerMac G5's, a Quad and a 2.3Ghz DC. The Quad has the original factory fitted AirPort + Bluetooth combined card which I want to place into the 2.3Ghz DC. Apple seemingly decided that it would be a wonderful idea to fit this in with stupid plastic pins as opposed to...

    2011 Mac Mini - Wifi upgrade

    I've recently picked up a 2011 Mac Mini for about the equivalent of $35. No real reason, other than the fact it was cheap and wanting to be bought. :D I've taken it apart, cleaned and re-pasted it, added the dual drive kit and messed about with some newer MacOS installs (although it will get...

    How can I set up this old router?

    (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...

    Wifi / Airport card backwards/forwards compatibility?

    Hi all MBP A1502 early 2015, airport card stopped working, wanted to buy and replace myself. Seeing lots of listings only for 2013-2014 A1502 models, and was curious whether or not those parts are forward compatible with my MBP? I.e. can I buy a 2013-2014 one and install it in my 2015 A1502? TIA

    What Does an Airport Card Actually Do?

    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 tried to replace original AirPort Extreme card with another one that I bought from eBay. Both cards look very same and is BCM94360CD model.

    Late 2009 iMac and Gig Internet

    Good Morning, I have a late 2009 iMac, which I recently upgraded with 12GBs of memory and a SSD hard drive to give it new life. I just upgraded my internet to 1000Mbps. I was wondering if there was a way to upgrade my computer to handle speeds anywhere near that via WiFi. Can I just upgrade my...

    Relic of the Past - Inquiry

    Not too long ago, I dissected an old MacBook. It's been dead for years so, I wasn't expecting much from it. Anyhow, the most interesting part taken from it was an Airport Extreme card. After some quick research, I learned that it was used for internet connection and other data movement. My...

    Late 2011 MBP Wifi issue

    Hi, I've been having issues recently with my wifi dropping. Weirdly, if I jiggle the power connector or remove it, it seems to kick the wifi back into life, until the next time it drops. Today I have replaced the airport card and the problems are identical. I can't seem to find anyone with...

    iMac G3 WiFi Questions

    I got this computer a long time ago from an older man who worked on them for a school. When I was a kid I loved to mess with computers but all I knew was PC so he gave it to me to play with. Well, I loved it for a couple years and eventually pushed it aside for a normal working computer, but I...
