    How can I set up this old router?

    (Moderators feel free to move this thread, I didn’t know where to put it) Here’s the deal: I don’t have an AirPort card for my G5. Now, the logical thing to do is to buy a used one from eBay but I don’t want to spend money. I have a few Ethernet cables, an old Apple airport router from early...

    What Does an Airport Card Actually Do?

    Talking specifically about the original AirPort cards that shipped during the G3 era. From what I understand, the original AirPort cards lacked an antenna. So lets take a Clamshell, for example. It has both a modem and antenna built in, but you'd still need an AirPort card to connect...

    Can compromised computer affect others through Airport WiFi?

    I want to use a program that in the past has had some security issues. (I'd rather not say what it is because I don't want the discussion to turn into a debate about the program.) As such, I don't want to put it on my Mac that I use for bank accounts, etc. I was thinking to get an iPad or maybe...

    iBook G3: Third-party network cards?

    According to this, the airport card slot on an iBook G3 is just a regular PC Card slot. I was wondering if anyone here ever tried a third-party PCMCIA Wi-Fi card -or even other PCMCIA cards, like a USB adapter- and if something like this would work, disregarding obvious size differences.
