Verified Buyer Reviewer: joji22 Location: Lacey, WA Age: 45-54 Experience Level: Power User Owned Product: less than a month Rating: 5/5 Got this for my old clamshell ibook ApI didn't know if it would work but for the price I thought I would try it out. But the adapter is working fine, as far as I can tell.
A bigger limitation is the browsers that will work with 10.4, which make many web pages inaccessible. But my G4 is in a first floor bedroom and the router is in the basement, so at least it can get through the floor and a wall.
#USB WIRELESS ADAPTER FOR MAC HOW TO#
Even then, I wasn't entirely sure how to turn the device on, but somehow I got to a window that showed my network and asked for a WPA2 password - and once I entered it, I was connected! I can’t vouch for its range it’s amazing to me that it works at all without an antenna. So I downloaded the 10.4 driver from the Edimax web site using a different computer, moved it to the G4 via a USB stick, and executed it from there.
#USB WIRELESS ADAPTER FOR MAC MAC OS#
I had a couple software false starts - the adapter comes with a mini-CD that only works with Mac OS 10.5 and up, though it said on the web the device would work with 10.4 (which is the upper limit for my old Mac).
I needed an alternative to my original Airport card, which couldn't handle WPA2, and this adapter did the trick.

SeptemThe device arrived today, and ten minutes later my old Mac G4 was wirelessly on the web.
