Hi,

 

I have D-LINK DWA-547 which uses atheros AR5008 chipset working ok in leopard 10.5.3...and it's recognized as airport extreme card 802.11a/b/g/n...but i cant get it working in N mode...the connection speed is always at 130Mbps...never higher...has anyone using similar card connected with the router at N speed? my router is apple gigabyte airport base station working in N mode only(2.4Ghz)...

I just bought dwa-547. Previously i use tp-link 651g recognised as airport. I switch to dwa-547 and now it doesn't recognised anymore, it said airport not installed. I wonder if mac still remember previous config, how do i erase previous config? And hopefully it will recognised new airport in dwa-547

ok, problem solved, using IO80211family.kext from kalyway 10.5.1 dvd works. recognised as native airport.

 

AirPort Card Information:

 

Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x3A6B)

Wireless Card Locale: Unknown

Wireless Card Firmware Version: 1.2.2

Current Wireless Network: AIREXPHM

Wireless Channel: 6

 

now the problem is, streaming to appletv still doesn't work well, no delay but still would like to see better transfer rate. transfer rate only 700-800Kb/s. both streaming and sync gives the same rate.

 

i use airport express 802.11n and surprise no 802.11n transfer rate ?

in network utility - Info tab

 

Link Speed : 130 Mbit/s

Link Status : Active

Vendor : Apple

Model : Wireless Network Adapter (802.11 a/b/g/n)

 

transfer rate is the same with tp-link 651g @ 10.5.3 can achieve 800KB/s-1.2MB/s, but after 10.5.4 upgrade, performance really drop to 100-200KB/s.
