    Mac help ....

    Right, I have a wireless router > Linksys Wireless-B Broadband Router 2.4ghz, 802.11b : Model 'BEFW11S4'

    And It uses an antenna like accessory -

    [​IMG] , as used on the back of that image. but there's no port on the back of the mac that will fit it...

    Is there anything I can do to get it to work? Or will I have to get the airport express accessory from Apple?

    If it doesn't use the USB ports, then Yes, get the MAC accessory

    Drivers,

    Should I have a non-bluetooth USB adaptor?

    Nail on head.

    The one above is a "802.11b Wireless USB Network Adapter", you need a 802.11b/g adaptor.

    Bluetooth won't work with the router you have.
