Wifi Adapter for USB 1.0

[RaeBlu]

Hello! I am trying to find a wifi adapter that will work on my old Mac G3 (OS 10.3.9) that seems to have USB 1.0.

Ideas???

I need to do this ASAP.

Would it be easier to update the USB jacks? How would I do that?

correction: likely USB 1.1

I would probably just get the cheapest one from OWC, such as the $15.99 Newer Tech one. But you are probably better off not spending any more money into that machine. I would use ethernet if you can arrange the wiring as USB 1.1 is very slow (1.5 Mbps max).

Thanks for the input.

I found a new USB card at a local shop and put it in. Here's hoping all will work! Ethernet is not an option- this is set up in my studio, which is at the back of the property and doesn't have phone hookups.

airport extreme to ethernet cable to ethernet port... would cost 100$

airport express to ethernet cable to ethernet port... would cost 100$

FTFY
And this setup would provide much more speed than a USB 1.1 wifi adapter.
