[QUOTE="badmojo, post: 166851"] If your DSl router is wireless capable you can get an Airport Express, provided your older eMac has an ethernet port. The bridges I looked at on line were $75+ and they have limited fuctionality. The AE can act as a bridge, a wireless print server, a range extender (when coupled with the Extreme Base Station), a wireless streaming audio device, etc. Apple has a refurbed one on it's website for $99, which is a good deal, too. Plus, the AE is 802.11G. The original Airport cards are 802.11 B. This is the way I'd go, if I was in the same situation.
