I have a wireless network in my house using a linksys SRX router, and a linksys range expander. right now I have 3 PC's connected to the network, and im interested in getting my Mac mini onto the netowork. Is there something i can buy to do connect my mac to my linksys wireless network? thanks

Doesn't your Mac-mini have built-in wireless support? If so, you should be able to simply enable it and connect to your wireless network, providing the security key when asked for it.

Peace...

i'm not familiar with the mac mini but my son added his macbook as mentioned in post #2.

No, unfortunatly I bought this Mac mini when the model first was released by apple, about 3 years ago. At that time the mini did not have the build in wireless feature.

You could wire it to your router or buy a wireless usb adapter.

Yes I am aware I could wire it to my router -_- but I am in need of it to be wireless. I am planning on getting a usb adapter, but my question is, which brand will work with mac? i know linksys wireless G adapters are only for PC's, and im wondering if any of the apple brand or third party brands will be compatable with linksys.

You can try the apple store, and see if they have anything.

It should work with any brand.

You could also go on ebay and see if you can get an old macmini airport card, that should pick up the network as well. I did that with an old G3 Ibook

i got a couple airlink101 usb 54g adapters at fry's for $20. ez to setup and work great on laptops and pc's running thru a linksys 54g wireless router.

depends if the mini mac has a usb capability.

[ferrija1]

Mac Mini's have USB ports.

basically anything should work.. for me even though i could buy any brand ... i like the cheaper ones because they don't come bundled with all the software its just the plane jane adapter and thats it.
