Airport card for powermac g4 agp graphic model

New to apple and I just got a imac g3 original and a powermac g4 (agp graphic) model with OS 9.2 running on it and we also have a emachine desktop in our house and I want to go wireless for my apple's. What can I do or what do I need to get.

Someone told me I need to get a airport card/ router, but apple site does not have the apple airport card anymore and I need OS X to run airport card extreme. What can I do? Please let me know if there is a way or even yet a cheaper way about going wireless?

Help! Help!

Imac G3 original, Power Mac G4 (agp Graphic), Mac OS 9.2.x

I would hesitate buying an AirPort card on eBay unless the vendor has 1000+ positive feedback with a 98% or better rating, has been selling for two or more years, and offers at least a 90-day warranty on the card.

I had an AirPort card quit working on me. That doesn't happen very often (at least I don't often see it reported here), but it can happen and should be a consideration when you're deciding from where you want to buy one.

that card will work for my powermac g4? It will fit in the place where you put the apple airport card?

yes it will work in your powermac g4 but not in the airportcard slot, it is a pci card, it goes behind the video card. look at this > http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2529296

that one will only work if you have OS X and newer on your computer. I have OS 9.2 on my powermac g4. Thank you anyway.
