Comment:

I have a new G5 Quad without built-in Airport Extreme
wireless card, though I do have an Ethernet card. When I
connect my Ethernet card directly (wiredly) to my LinkSys
router I can connect to the Internet, etc. What I would like to
do is make the connection wirelessly. What can I do other
than install the Airport Extreme card. I want to do it
externally.--Tom

Do yourself a favor, get the Airport card installed. The
external options available are flakey.

I would also recommend the AirPort card unless you have
one of the current PowerMac G5 models. These require
something called a runway card which is, of course, more
expensive than the AirPort card.
If you are still searching for an external option probably the
best choice thus far is the AeroPad mini. In effect this is a
wireless card placed external to the computer and connected
by ethernet cable.
Good luck!
