totallybonkers Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hi, My Airport card was buggy so I had to replace it. But rather than just replacing it I thought it would be nice to take advantage of the new 802.11 N speeds and range. It wasn't easy to find a cheap and easy to install solution for my iBook laptop. I finally found that the Belkin F5D 8053 Wireless N USB adapter worked on my ibook. As a matter of fact as long as you have a USB 2.0 port this will work on your MAC. I get pretty good range with it and it downloads very fast too. So if you have a Mac and you want to get wireless N on it, this will work. Just Google for drivers. Look around for a good deal on the Belkin F5D 8053 Wireless N USB adapter. I got mine for $50.00 You may be able to find it for cheaper.
