Use a D-Link DWL-G122 USB WiFi Dongle - revisited
Hi,
Use a D-Link DWL-G122 USB WiFi Dongle - revisited
Trying to find a cheap wireless solution for my old iMac DV, I picked up a DWL-G122 ver. B1. After reading all of the information above, I first tried installing the Railink drivers and they worked just fine, but they were a bit clunky to work with. I then uninstalled them and installed the ones on the driver CD. They work perfectly. The installer adds a new preference pane and it also adds a nice signal strength gauge by the clock. A few hints...

My iBook is a G3 (336 MHz), now updated to OS X 10.3.9 (Panther) with 320 MB total RAM. The guy I was talking to at the computer shop said he has solved the problem of going wireless on an older Mac without a (costly) airport card.His solution is to use the Asus WL330G wireless accesspoint. He connects it to the laptop's Ethernet port via a supplied cable that makes the Mac think it is connected to a LAN. He then fired up his internet browser and typed in the URL of the WL330G (supplied by the device's documentation), and from which he could make the settings on the WL330G to connect to the area's hot spot. He says the beauty of the setup is there's no software nor driver to install and is compatible with any computer with an Ethernet port. |
