AirPort Wireless Connection

Your iMac G5 has an AirPort Extreme Card installed. You can configure your AirPort
network and Internet connection using AirPort Setup Assistant, located in the Utilities
folder within your Applications folder. The assistant helps you configure the AirPort
Base Station and set up your computer to use AirPort. For more information about your
AirPort Base Station, see the guide that came with your base station.

If your AirPort Base Station is already configured, in most cases your AirPort Extreme
Card is ready to access it immediately.
