WiFi and Airport Extreme

[Warubozu]

Has anyone got the NZ90 with WiFi card and the Airport Extreme base station to work together? I have an Airport Extreme at work and would like to try to get them to work together. I can't get it to work at home with my Netgear MR314 wireless router at all.

Search the nx70v site for this info I think it doesn't work with the extreme but with the older model. I saw a thread on this before.

Actually it does work with the Extreme but it will only work in 802.11b mode it will not work in the 802.11b/802.11g compatibility mode.

Maybe it might work, others who have conmmunicated say it doesn't. Part of the problem is some of the standards with the 54g hasn't been finalized.

If you do get it working please share and let us know so we can assist others, Thank you!

Will do, I'm going to try it at work tomorrow. Hopefully I can get it to work. We also have about 9 Orinoco AP 1000's so I'll see if I can get it to work with them as well.

Right now I'm only able to connect to the Internet, email, and hotsync via Bluetooth. WiFi is a no go for me at home.

The Netgear should work, but the base unit is only part of the equation. It depends on what type of OS, connection and ISP you are using too. Cable modems seem to be the easiest.

On your base unit, set it to DHCP and the WL100 should be infrastructure mode, DNS & IP are set to auto. PowerSaveOn unchecked. SSID: set to "any" without the quotes. Do not use a WEP Key until you get things working if possible, keep it simple if you can.

Please go to the Wireless Forum for a list of routers/hubs/switches that work and those that don't.

Hi,

Just a little idea : try to set the channel to '13' on your airport base station.

Cheers,
