WiFi iMac...

[Bottlelot]

Does anyone know of something that I can plug into an iMac G3 (Tiger) to allow it to gain access to the internet through a WiFi signal?...

You need an airport card and also a Airport Adapter for iMac Slot-Load. iMac G3, slot-loading, AirPort-ready computers require this adapter to install an AirPort Card.
Certain G3-based iMacs are not AirPort-ready and also not compatible with the Adapter or AirPort Card. These include any tray-loading iMac G3 and the 350Mhz G3 Indigo slot-load iMac.

That seems extremely confusing... I guess I'll just run the CAT-5 cable instead. Thanks for your help.

Not too complicated...
You need one of these:

and one of these:

Just makes sure you iMac isn't one of these:
-tray-loading iMac G3
-slot-loading 350Mhz G3 Indigo iMac

Ignore all previous posts...I presume there is an existing network available so all you need is a WiFi to Ethernet Bridge. Plug it into the Ethernet port of any Mac/PC/Printer/Device and you're connected.
This one is £60 but there are similar for around £40

As long as the user has a slot-loading iMac, they can install the components I mentioned easily. It costs the same as the wifi to ethernet bridge and would look neater than having external device.
