I'll had that it is easy to mix wireless and wired networking. I have an AirPort Extreme base station which is connected via cat 5 ethernet cable to a 4-port 10/100 switch. My desktop G4 is connected to the switch, with another cable handy at the desk to connect whatever laptop I choose, be it Ma

Re: Another wireless question

That's a good point! An 802.11b wireless access point, or bridge (depending on how you're using it) is just the same as a 10MB network port. That's not true. Firstly, 802.11b is "rated" at up to 11 Mbps, not 10 Mbps like 10base-T ethernet. However, 802.11b has tons of overhead (as does 11g),

Hi Diane, Wireless is just as good as wired these days. You can go 802.11b at up to 10MBs, or the more current 802.11g at 54MBs. I have an iBook G4 1GHz talking to an 802.11b access point, and the web pages load super fast! Download speeds are equally speedy. 802.11g is newer, and faster, bu
