Apple Airport Extreme Card Compatibility

Thursday, January 26, 2006 / Wireless

It was advised that I buy an Airport Extreme Card A-F8881LL/A-REF for my new wireless service. It arrived but I don’t want to open it until I’m sure that it is 802 11B or 11G compatible as advised by SBC Yahoo. Would you confirm?

That Airport Extreme Card (A-F8881LL/A-REF) is both 802.11b and 802.11g compliant and it will work with any hardware that supports those connections, like your SBC wireless router. Go ahead and open that up. The manual that came with your computer will have excellent instructions on how to install that card. Also Apple will have copies of those instructions at http://www.apple.com/support/manuals/ for you to print out.

Good luck and enjoy the wireless Internet.
