I am setting up a wireless network at my home connecting to the internet via satellite (HughesNet). I have a Powerbook G4, imac (new), and a Quicksilver G4. The Powerbook and imac have built in wireless capability, and I use an Airport Express to connect. A sales rep at the Apple Store said the best way to equip the old G4 for wireless was to get a second Airport Express and plug it in to ethernet port. He said it would act as an external airport card. I received the two Airport Expresses yesterday and everything works except the old G4. After trying unsuccessfully for a long time, I called Apple back and was told the second Airport can't be used to accomplish this task. Now I'm told I should have bought the Airport Extreme or I'll have to buy an internal card on ebay. So here are my questions:
1. What is the best solution for getting the old G4 wireless ready?
2. Do I need an internal card? If so, which one?
3. Are there devices which connect via a USB port which would accomplish this task? Do they work well?
4. Will an Airport Extreme work or would I need a card also?
5. If I use a non-Apple solution would I be able to use the Airtunes feature?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
