Mac-compatible ones are very hard to find. There are a few on eBay but at inflated prices. I decided to go with a wireless Ethernet bridge instead.

3mb/s isn't that a bit slow?

Tomchu said "3MB/s" which I take to be "three megabytes per second," while the 802.11g standard gives us a theoretical max of 54 "megaBITS per second." That is a theoretical max (…
