After days reading about WiFi I have come up with what I hope is a practical plan to hook up a canteena to my G4 descktop mac and point it line of sight off my metropolitan hi rise balcony.This seemed like a good deal $45, http://www.computers4sure.com/produc...d=934&adid=934
Figure to buy a pigtail through fab.com hook it from the coffee canteena to the dlink and connect the access point to my mac through its ethernet port. Is this practical with the G4 tower twenty feet from the antenna and dlink? Have I missed something crucial in my search or do I have workable plan? Thanks for any suggestions.

Thought the DWL900AP was a good choice as some have said dlink is mac friendly. I run 9.2 and OSX.
