[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 57916, member: 3850"] Yeah, just buy a wireless router, any brand will do really, as long as it is 802.11g compatible (54mb/s) then you're set: Simply plug it into your broadband connection using a ethernet cable and then you can surf with any computer in range that has an airport card (i.e. your G5 and ibook later) For the printer and scanner you can buy a bluetooth adapter to plug into your G5's usb port and access the scanner & printer (which also need adapters or built-in bluetooth capability) using that. The iBook can be ordered with a built-in bluetooth option. Right, you should be set then! Theoretically you could surf using bluetooth, but it is quite slow and you wouldn't get speed benefit of your broadband connection. (ca. 5mb/s compared to 54mb/s) Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
