Hi, I have a two year old intel imac that serves as a wireless router for our house - it fuels the family's wii and a work laptop). We want to take a 2nd generation imac (running 10.2) and put it in my son's room, but I don't have a wired connection in his roo,. My question is simply should I get an airport card for the old machine or buy a usb wireless stations. I appreciate any feedback.

Best,
Mark

Welcome to Mac-Forums!

Another option to consider. These work extremely well. (I have an updated version of one)
