[QUOTE="MacWinUser, post: 160066"] I have a four year old PowerMac G4, model 2001.07, 733MHz, 384mb SDRAM. I also have 3 other computers which [I]are[/I] online via my Linksys 802.11g broadband wireless router (one of the 3 online is a brand new iMac G5). I've upgraded my old G4 by installing a superdrive and Tiger OS X, now I want to get it online via the wireless system. The "Apple genius" at the nearest Apple store (90 miles away) told me that I need an Airport card - not an Airport [I]Extreme[/I] card. He said the Extreme card won't work on my old G4. :confused: My question is this; Okay, I can buy an Airport card online - [I]is that all that I will need or do I also need an Airport base station too?[/I] My iMac G5 works just great with my wireless system [I]without[/I] an Airport base station - no problems whatsoever. Thanks in advance, and Happy Halloween :spook: [/QUOTE]
