Hi list,
I have a new imac. Now I want to set up my G4 in another room. My
G4 doesn't have an airport card and I don't believe it would work
anyway cause the new imac has airport extreme and the G4's airport
card is just an airport.
It will work just fine.
I was told by maczones that I should use a router and they suggested
Netgear RP614NA Platinum 4port cable dsl router.
Does this sound correct? The router is about $50.00. Everything is
so expensive!!!!
This will require you running an ethernet cable to the other room,
which may or may not be a problem.
An original Airport card will run you about $25 used; a USB WiFi
Dongle the same or a bit more, and you can share the network access
off the iMac via the iMacs wireless card (unless you have a WiFi
router already connected to the DSL.)
