Not sure if this is the right forum. Couldn't find the airport forum.
Bought a used G5 dual processor on Ebay for my son's birthday. Installed an Airport card and hooked everything up. Been working fine for two or three days and tonight the signal strength dropped down to almost nothing. If I turn Airport off on the computer and then turn it back on, it goes to 100% strength and then seconds later starts to degrade to almost zero. Main computer downstairs running fine. Airport seems fine. Do I have a bad card in my son's computer? How often do these cards go bad?
Thanks for any help.
