Hi,
I expect this is covered ground but I cant find anything to specifically answer my questions.
I've bought (but not yet recieved) a 1.25 g4 mac mini without either wifi or bluetooth.
What is the best way to get wifi enabled?
USB wifi dongle - are there any that work?
Ethernet bridge
Or install an airport express card? - I work with electronics so not too scared.
Or just run a wire round the room to the router and stuff wifi.
I want to use the mac mini in my lounge to access spotify, youtube and internet tv through my hdtv.
I'd like to be able to use my iphone to control the mac mini, I have an app that allows me to control my macbook using wifi, both touchpad and keyboard. If I was to run a wire from my mini to the router would I be able to use my iphone to control it?
Or does the iphone connect directly to the mac not the router?
If I was to do an ethernet bridge would it behave as if it was a wireless mac mini or does it connect differently to the router.
Sorry if all this has been covered before and if I've confused anyone!
Oh and by "What is the best way to get wifi enabled?" I mean easiest and cheapest!
Thanks in advance.
