We are thinking of making our entire house nothing but a complete wireless network. In otherwords, every computer online with no cables running into their ethernet ports. Computers include the following:
- Powerbook G4 15.2" (will buy in April, new models by then)with AirPort Extreme Card
- iMac DV 400 MHz with AirPort Card
- Apple Beige G3 (no wireless networking card)
- Possibly a Power Mac G4 tower with AirPort Extreme Card
We want to setup a wireless router in the middle of the house as the base station. I'm assuming both the original and AirPort Extreme cards can connect to a 802.11g wireless connection to the wireless router. Now - would the wireless router work as a base station for both the Powerbook and iMac DV (with AirPort cards)to connect to, or would there be something else needed? Finally - how do we connect the Beige G3 to the wireless network? (it can't hold a AirPort card)
