Ok, So I have a Powerbook and a belkin wireless G router.
My dad has a clamshell g3 with an original A airport connection, we haven't bought the card yet. Just wondering if we will have a problem with the card on our router? Will it work?

APC and APEC will connect to any wifi available through any wireless router.

As long as the router is set to B/G (not G only) mode it should work fine. The original airport card is a 802.11b card. Your 12" Powerbooks have b/g cards, if they have wireless.

Also, this seems to be more about wireless networking then your powerbook, this should be in the networking forum.
