If my questions sound stupid or naive, forgive me.
I gotta admit, finding the answer to some questions is tough. Any help will be appreciated!! I often feel like I am messing around with old arcane DOS configurations.
----------------------------------------------
I am on a network that uses a D-Link 2XR router. Laptop is PowerBook G4.
I have a weak area that I would like to boost the signal to.
I went to see the genuises at the local Apple store, but the advice I was given did not apply (At least I couldnt find applicable commands.) They told me to choose the command/menu item, Join available network. I cannot find it anywhere.
I have an unused Airport Extreme Base Station (54 Mbps) (NOT an Express!) .
When I plug it in for power (no cables, just AC), it gives off a unique, very steady & powerful signal called Managed Apple Network 310d51. iStumbler (the App.) also picked up a weaker signal -- from the D-Link network.
So the long & short of it..
1. How do I use Airport Extreme Base Station as a booster and employ that strong signal?
2. Do I join the Apple signal or the old D-Link signal?
Whenever I tried to connect to the Internet via the Apple signal, no browser could connect.
All computers are running System 10.4.11 and pre-Intel.
Thank you!!!
