Product DescriptionHave you ever wanted the freedom to use your computer and surf the Internet from anywhere in your home? Or how about being able to use more than one computer to surf the Internet at the same time? Now there's a simple, affordable way to bring the Internet to every room in your home.Instead of using traditional cabling to create a network, AirPort is a wireless LAN technology that provides efficient, reliable wireless communication between multiple computers and the Internet. With no ugly, messy cables to tie you down, you'll enjoy unprecedented freedom to move about the home or classroom. What's more, AirPort enables everyone at home to simultaneously surf different web sites and access e-mail through a single Internet service account. There's no more waiting for your turn to dial into the Internet. Students can move about the classroom freely with their computers and learning takes place wherever it needs to, not just where the computer cable is located. An AirPort Card is about the size of a credit card. It fits easily into a conveniently located slot inside each AirPort-ready Apple computer.

Pricey card that I bought used. Its technology has since updated. The card works fine.

Switched to Mac? Switch back.
I built an 802.11b network for the PCs in my house. I set up everything and had it working and tested for a few weeks before tackling the Airport install. Since I'm not usually a Mac user, I thought I'd make sure everything else was working first.
Well, it was the right decision. 8 months later, my Airport card still does not work. I put it in our iBook, and it's recognized, but there is an error message that locks up all the wireless applications ... Read More
Rating: - Wireless rocks!
Like everything Apple makes, it was trivial to install and setup. End of story.
The real glory is being able to carry my iBook all over the house and use it everywhere. Combine that with the great battery usage in the iBook, and I am finally not tied down!
Go Mac, and do it without wires. You won't regret it for a single moment.

What a wonderful investment this Airport card (and the base station) was! I can walk anywhere in the house and even into the garden out back with my Powerbook and remain connected to the Internet. I take the computer everywhere, and at this moment (as I write from the living room while watching Discovery-Italia) my Internet connect utility tells me I have been connected to the Internet for the last 2,000+ hours! Almost three months! And that's despite taking the computer wherever I want it to go, up ... Read More
Rating: - Absolutely flawless installation and performance
I've had this wireless card for over 9 months now. It installed in a few minutes on my iBook running OS X. Signal strength has never been an issue. It's worked well on several different access points (Airport and otherwise). A Netgear brand card purchased for an XP laptop in my house failed after 3 months of use ("driver" problem I think). No such problems with my Airport card. Get it and forget it!
