iBook and Wireless-LAN


Recommended Posts

Hi there.

I plan to buy an iBook, and i've a wireless network at home (D-Link DI 614+ Switch/Router). So the question is, can it connect to this wireless-network (with AirPort), and is it able to go online via the router. It's important to know it, because i have to work looooong and haaaaard to afford it :)

Thanks for your help :D

Your iBook will only be able to support one or the other. Look at your manual to see. Anything made after (I think) March of 2003 uses Airport Extreme, anything before that uses standard Airport.

G3 iBook = Airport

G4 iBook = Airport Extreme

Thanks for clarifying that. I was going to say that, but I couldn't remember for sure if the last of the G3 iBooks had AE or A.

I would imagine it does, but you're better off getting an AirPort card because it gets hidden under the keyboard and doesn't hang off the machine.

i recommend a regular airport card becaue 54g suffers massive signal loss if there's a wall or something in between, plus the rest of your equipment is probably 11b.
