[QUOTE="Tuppy, post: 1887561, member: 408224"] Hey, that looks like a solution to getting this G5 onto the Internet: by using a modern dongle with a special driver to run it in OS 10.5 Leopard. Thanks for the link the Youtube video. The person who put up that Youtube video showing how to do it, and who provides the driver on his website, says that any cheap dongle will work, and he says he's had good luck with the TP-Link brand. So I just now went over to Amazon and bought a TP-Link USB WiFi N-150 Network Adapter for $10 (see screenshot). This is one of those dongles I looked at earlier, that says it will work with Macs, but only with OS 10.9 through 10.15, so I passed it by. However, with the special driver downloaded from that fellow's website, it should be able to work in 10.5 as well. We'll see, when it gets here on Friday. After it arrives I'll report on whether I was able to get it to work. Thanks yet again Patrick! [/QUOTE]
