10.2.8 iMac wireless advice required please...

[crazymissdia]

Hello there!

I am need of some advice. I have an old imac version 10.2.8 and am moving house on Friday into a house where there is Tiscali wireless interent available. The wireless router is made by Netgear.
What I want to know (as I have been very badly advised on too many occasions now) is how can I pick up the wireless signal in the house without having to hard wire it to the actual router. I have told to purchase usb's and access point equipment and download drivers etc which either do not work or are not for version 10.2.8.

I have been suggested to buy an airport card to go into the computer itself!! I am I have to say very 'green' at this and just want to know what information I need to provide and be up and running once I move to the house.

Can somebody please advise and assist me as soon as possible. I am very grateful for your time and help, any further information required please do ask.

Thanks

Hi crazymissdia and welcome to the forums,

Can you tell me the model iMac you have? Is it a G4 or G5? Just go to Apple Menu -> About This Mac
