I just moved into a new apartment and learned that the router is on a different floor from my room. My Mac Pro doesn't have a wireless card in it. What are my best options for solving this? I'd rather not run a 100 foot cable through the house. When I went into Radioshack they said they only had Wireless adapters for PCs and that most USB adapters that claim to work for Mac, don't. Is this true? I also have an extra wireless router. Would it be able to gain signal from the wireless router downstairs? Could I set it up near my computer and run an Ethernet cable to the Mac Pro tower? Or do they not work like that?

Naffer posted:You should be able to set up this extra router in wireless bridge mode where you'd plug your mac into it and have it join your existing wireless network. I connected my wireless router (Netgear model WNR1000v3 I believe) to the Mac Pro through an Ethernet cord. Now in the System Settings>Network section on the Mac, the "Ethernet 1" port is listed as "Connected." Yet when I try to load any sites, I have no success. How do I set this up?
