How do I make my iMac g4 wireless?
I have an iMac g4 with 10.4 running. How can I make it wireless? If I can where is a good place to buy the part. I know apple does not make it anymore. Thanks for any help in advance.
iMac G4s of different ages could run different versions of the Airport Card. If yours was only compatible with the original Airport Card, then I would just get a WiFi ethernet bridge, since it won't support 802.11g, or WPA2 encryption. Apple's UFO like Airport Extreme base stations can all function as a WiFi ethernet bridge that is easy to setup on all iMac G4s. Some third party routers work as well, but you have to isolate which ones can run on 10.4. Those that came with Airport Extreme capability you can find an Airport Extreme card made for them, and while it is limited to 802.11g, unless you are doing major local area network traffic, or streaming to an AppleTV, 802.11g is plenty good with WPA2 encryption. To find out if yours qualifies, use this guide to find out which iMac G4 you have:
