So after a few weeks of trying I haven't been able to get my mac pro connected to the wireless network at the house.
After speaking with apple who confirmed I cant just stick a airport extreme card in and away I go, they said I need to send my computer away to a specialist to have something done... costing in the region of £100-200 ($200-400)
I did a bit of searching and found an article (see below) where a guy used a D-link DWA-140 USB network adaptor. Unfortunately, I have had no luck with that either.
macosxhints.com - Add AirPort Extreme suport via a wireless USB adapter
So I am rather stuck, as I dont really know how the airport works on the mac I am un sure what steps to take next. The only option I have is to either send it away and spend heaps of money on it. Or just run a silly long cable from the front room up the to office so I can connect.
Please tell me there is another way!!
Thanks
Joe
