msantoso Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/113056-atheros-ar5008-d-link-dwa-547/#findComment-818916 Share on other sites More sharing options...
msantoso Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 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 ?

msantoso Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 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. qthaothao: have you found a solution yet?
