Hi Tim,
Your G5 should take an Airport Extreme card, don't know what else, if
anything, might work.
I finally went with a Linksys wireless router, because I got a good
deal and it came with a PCMCIA card for my wintel 'book.
My iBook has an original Airport card and it works just fine with the
Linksys base. I've found that I can access Netgear and 2Wire base
units as well. (Some neighbors haven't found time to set up security
on their networks)
Setup was a non-issue for the Airport card... the iBook was online as
soon as I powered it up. The wintel 'book... well... it =was= a
wintel!!! Had to run a setup/install program and it was a little
quirky, but everything is okay now.
HTH,
Amanda

I need some opinions.
I'm moving to a place with a wireless router. I've always been
hard core cable connected up until now. I'm getting a little
forced to move ahead.... :))
What card do I need for my G5? What is the fastest for the money?
Does it matter what kind of router they have? What do I have to do
to set it up once there?
Help and thanks!
