IMac G4 - Can I connect to Internet via WiFi?

Hi, Ive been given an old iMac G4 from 2004 and I want to set it up so it can be used to browse the Internet. I'd ideally like to set up a wireless connection so I'm trying to find out if it can be done in the first instance and if yes, what I need in order to set it up.

Any suggestions welcome

If it has an Airport Extreme card fitted, yes but at slower 802.11g speeds.

And depending on the model iMac G4 which you have not provided for further help, read this:-

Hi Harry and thanks for the info.

Some more info on the model which I got via the serial number:

iMac G4 20"
Processor:1.25GHz G4 (PowerPC 7457)

It doesn't actually have a wireless card installed so I need to go out and get one. By the looks of it (from article) I can get a card which supports 802.11g. I'm based in the UK so just wondering where's the best place to get an Airport Extreme card.

This is the airport card you need (airport extreme card):



There are places on the internet that still sell them...but buying them used on e-Bay is probably your best bet.

I thought so after having a look around.
