[QUOTE="MacLicious, post: 1337172, member: 133300"] So a USB dongle D-Link DWA-130 will not work? I have found a page with a driver for it for mac. Still not working. Or could be mac-newbie-ness. I haven't had to play around with my new 24" iMac as it came with everything. Read above and on the internet that USB wife dongles even though mac is supposedly not supported that they can indeed work on these machines. I have mine plugged in and not working after installing the mac driver I found on the internet. Unfortunately even though I may not have the knowledge and expertise most of you here on the forum seem to have, I am like a dog with a bone. I can't seem to leave it alone til it's gone - or in this case fixed! So onward and upward (and probably backwards at times) whilst I try to work this out on my own. Wish I didn't have to work. It interupts my mac playing time!! Just like buying something online is frustrating because then I have to sit back and wait for it when I want it RFN. (right f***ing now)! I wanted to go USB dongle route mostly because A) I already have two of them; and B) I don't want to have to open up the G4 and risk damage - or the shock I have read I can give myself; and most importantly C) my D-Link USB dongle is wireless N so therefore better range, which is something my daughter complaining of losing connect in her room and the mac I am fixing up is for her. So because I have no airport card installed and cannot so far get the D-Link correct driver and/or working, onward I go. However tomorrow's another day! [/QUOTE]
