Mac Forum / General / Hardware / January 2006Wirreless networking on older g3 crt mac
I have older Slot Loading G3 MAC CRT all in. In the manual it says you can install a Airport card with appropriate adapter. Older airport cards are quiet expensive even second had and was wondering if I have the appropriate adapter, do I have to install an Airport Card (802.11b) or are there any other compatable wireless cards I can use as an alternative? > Older airport cards are quiet expensive even second had and was wondering if > I have the appropriate adapter, do I have to install an Airport Card > (802.11b) or are there any other compatable wireless cards I can use as an > alternative? If you want to install the card internally, you simply need to use the Airport card. You may use an external solution, but I doubt that this is much cheaper. For example, the DWL-900AP+ from D-Link can act as an external "WLAN card" if it is configured accordingly. Christian.  SignatureChristian F.

I have an old 233 Mhz iMac running Panther. Is that the slot loading type or the tray loading type? Anyway, it's at least as old as yours. I bought a D-Link DWL-G122 USB wireless network adaptor on ebay. This does not officially support Apple, but I found a driver on the web that works! I found this article: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050201091946184 tells me that any USB wireless dongle that uses the Ralink Technologies 2500 chip set will use this driver. I paid only $14 on ebay, so I am extremely happy. This system is far away from my wired network, so this works well for me. The wired network is on the first floor of my house, and the computer is on the third floor. I still get a good quality signal. Tom |
