How do you get a PowerPC Mac Mini to work as a wireless router? I want to connect my MacBook Pro wirelessly to the Mac Mini.

After getting a wired ethernet connection to the Internet working with the mini, go to Sharing Preferences and enable Internet sharing. Select to share the connection on the ethernet to users over Airport. Select wireless preferences and you're good to go.

This method of sharing an ethernet connection wirelessly through another Mac will work, but its performance, in my experience, is not as good as with a real router. Also, when using a real router, you will have many more security options as well as other configuration options. A wireless "g" router can be obtained for as little as $25 and an "n" router for about $50.
