airport

[zillbill]

Hi
i have a G4 imac and am trying to sort out wireless broadband on it, i cant find airport as an option when i go into network.
Im sure it has an airport card but can anyone tell me if it would have or if there is anything else i need to do like install it separately or something. I cant remember as ive had it for about 3 years now and never needed to know anything about airport until now.
Hope someone can help,
thanks
matt

Check your System Profiler and see if the machine actually has an Airport card.

It was most likely an add on option when you bought the machine.

ah thanks
it says no information found so i assume its not there which is weird as i did software update and installed airport update.
is it possible to get one installed in a G4 imac? if not is there anything else i can do ?
thanks for your help

You can install the Airport card yourself.

You need to know which model iMac you have. There are two different cards. Airport and Airport Extreme.

The first iMac to use the Extreme card was the 17-inch flat panel, 1GHz, 2/2003 thru 9/2003
