Running diagnostics on a Powerbook G4 Airport Card?
This might be my school's wireless system (because it's unreliable and ***** 90% of the time), but due to other issues that've recently plagued my computer I'm worried that it's something to do with my wireless Airport card.
I've been having EXTREME difficulties finding and connecting to my campus wireless today, particularly in buildings and places where I should be getting full bars if not exceptional reception. Instead, my computer can either not find the wireless network CatChat (my campus wireless system), or it can't get above 2 bars of service (which is slow as anything). It's also been cutting in and out HORRIBLY today in a room where I normally get uninterrupted exceptional reception.
Is there any way to run diagnostics on the airport wireless card myself from this computer, or do I need to take it to a professional and have them run the diagnostics? The warranty expired 2 years ago so that's completely out of the question.
