Hey all, I bought an iBook G3 AS-IS, it's 600MHz, 256MB memory and 30GB HDD. I popped it open and it even included the Airport card, all for $20. I have since maxed out the memory and it's running pretty well.
Currently I am running 10.4.11 on 640MB RAM.
I am having plenty of trouble connecting to WiFi though. I did all of the Software Updates that were optioned through Software Update in the dropdown menu, through ethernet. I now went from WEP passwords to WPA Personal.
The problem seems to be that the security on my computer is WPA 2 so the laptop is not able to connect.
Is there a walk around to this that doesn't consist of changing my router security? I use WPA 2 at home, office and school.
This computer is planned to be just an internet and word processing computer, but it's sounding like it will only be able to be half.
Any input is appreciated, thanks!
Here's the iBook before the Tiger install for whoever's interested
