[QUOTE="hkintner, post: 902902, member: 119726"] I moved to a new place a few weeks ago and have to connect to the internet wirelessly now, which I've never had to do before. I ordered an Airport Extreme card for my tower, which is a Dual 2 GHz Power PC G5. I followed the instructions from the internet for installation, however I hit a wall when I got to the part about connecting the antenna to the card. There are two black wires coming out of where it seems the antenna should be, but they do not connect to the card. (See image below: the black wires are on the right of the image, the airport card is in it's slot at the bottom right of the image.) I got the tower gently used from a company that would have never used an airport card, as they had their own network to connect to. Is it possible that the tower does NOT have an antenna? Or is it a simple fix, like I'm looking in the wrong place for the antenna? And if it doesn't have an antenna, what can I do to make the airport card work? I've seen something about an external "T" antenna, which I do not have... Would getting one of these allow my card to find my router? Or is that something that I need in addition to the interior antenna hook up? Thank you for any insight and feedback...
