#Wireless router for mac os x 10.4.11 how to

There are plenty of websites that will guide you through how to install dd-wrt on your specific router. If you're running a different version on this router, look up on how to install dd-wrt on your specific router, do not assume that just because your version is close to mine that it will work. This is for a Linksys WRT54G v5, it is how to install different (3rd party) firmware on your router. Ok, i'm done venting, here is the solution that worked for me: They're not helpful what-so-ever if you know anything about networking, they are just going to tell you to do a bunch of worthless crap that you've probably already done.

Not a single one of their 'tech support' is knowledgeable enough to help anyone fix this problem. IT IS THE FIRMWARE on the ROUTER, don't let Linksys tell you otherwise. I've been on many fights on the phone with Linksys, and Mac, each one of them blaming the other, and whatnot. I ended up limiting down all of the culprits to one, the firmware (version 1.01.0). This happened right after I re-configured my router with a bunch of new settings and updated the firmware. Okay, I've got a Linksys WRT54G v5, and was having major problems with the router allowing my MacBook online, however, it would allow all of my XP machines on with no problem. If not, there may be some settings in my router (not specific to the Mac though) that are different than yours.

You should see the SSID of your home wireless network here.Ī pop-up will prompt you for Wireless securityįor 'Wireless Security', select '40/128-bit hex'įor password, paste in the hex key you got earlier from your WGT624Ĭheck 'Remember password in my keychain' so that you dont have to repeat step 8 ever againĬlick OK and your Mac should be connected to your router. 108 Mbps is firmly in non-standard territory and vendor specific.Ĭlick on the Airport icon in the Mac menu bar. I'm guessing your Mac wont be able to connect if it is in '108 Mbps only' mode - because Airport only supports the standard 802.11g. Or at least, make sure it is in 'b and g' mode.

Make sure your WGT624 is running in Auto 108Mbps mode (so you get 108 Mbps on your Windows machines while being stuck with 54 Mbps via Airport on the Mac :-( ).

You can find this value under the 'Wireless Settings' menu of the web-based administration tool for WGT624. Either write it down or save it as a file on your Mac. NOTE: Before you begin, use one of your other computers to get the hex equivalent of your WEP key from the the WGT624 router.

I used the excellent wireless driver from Orangeware to get full 108 Mbps connectivity.Īnyway, 2 days ago I decided to try and get the built-in Airport (can do 54 Mbps max.) working with WGT624 (disconnected the WG511T card).

Initially, I had my Mac using the Netgear WG511T adapter via the PCMCIA slot (which is - sadly - missing from the Macbook Pro - the rationale escapes me!). This same router also serves Windows 2000 and Windows XP Pro laptops. I have a Mac Powerbook G4 at home working fine using the built-in Airport with a Netgear WGT624 router (that's what I'm using to write this post right now).
