I have 2 desktop Power Mac G4s (model #8570 with the mirrored drive doors). One is hooked to a cable modem, and I would like to get wireless on the other, but don't know how to do it. The cable provider told me to buy a wireless router and a wireless adapter, but I have no idea which one I need.
I was looking at the Linsys E1000 router because it's cheap enough that if it doesn't work, I'm not out a ton. I know the router hooks to the modem that is on the 1st computer, but what does the 2nd computer need to have to make the connection?
Does it have to have an Apple Airport card, or can something else be used?
Is there something you can just plug into a USB slot rather than having to install a card? Or do you have to install something no matter what?
