yes, but if you can add any sort of wifi to an older iMac, it doesnt
matter.

??? You're saying that feeding 54Mb to a 12Mb-capable port is fine?

He's saying it's not going to go faster then 12MBps.

It's called handshaking. No network system simply sends data out continuously, hoping the receiving end can handle it.

It's just as fine as sending data from your computer at 1000MBps to a router, from the router to your ISP at 15MBps, from there to another ISP at 500MBps thence to the target computer at 20MBps. Each leg only sends data to the next leg at a speed it can handle.
