Hello!

I am in the process of upgrading the RAM and hardrive on my G3 DV500 iMac with a view to upgrade the OS to OSX (currently at 9.2). Broadband has just become available in my Greek village and due to the design of my house I think it would be better for me to go wireless.

My question is, what kit do I need to do this? Do I need an airport card? What sort of router etc.?

Also is performance affected by use of wireless networks. Our ADSL speed is a bit slow at the moment (768/ 192 Kbps, 1024/ 256 Kbps, or 2048 /256 Kbps) I would be prefer to keep the costs down so will be going with the cheapest option and therefore the slowest!!

Thank you in advance for any help!
 
Original Airport cards for G3 iMac's are hard to find and expensive. Go with an external USB wireless adapter such as the Belkin F5D6050 or the D-Link DWL-122. I used the Belkin and it worked fine. Paid less than $20US for it. As for a wireless router, I've used the D-Link DI-524 and the Belkin F5D7230-4 successfully. They are each available for around $30US or less. Be sure to check respective websites for latest drivers.
