iMac 2003 bluetooth and WiFi

Hi!


I have two questions. I have an old iMac, and want to get wifi an bluetooth (for keyboard and mouse) on it.


1) Is it possible to get it on wifi? If it's possible, how?

2) Is it possible to get bluetooth on it? If it's possible, how?


Type: PowerMac4,5 (version = 2.1)


I hope anybody can answer :-)

iMac 17” flat panel model, from 2002 to early 2003. There was an optional AirPort card. Otherwise, you’ll be using a wired network bridge, which will be a network box or two, connecting between the wired and Wi-Fi. Wire to the switch will be cheaper, and probably also more reliable. As for Bluetooth, that was not an option back then. That’s maybe then a third-party dongle. USB 1 speeds will stink for anything past keyboard and mouse, if you can still find a dongle that will work with USB 1.
