How do I use this? It has a funny little connector on the one end. Can i just hook that up to a rj45 with the right connector? What is that connector called?
Can I buy a wireless version of this thing? Would it work on this ancient computer?
Thanks as always. |
The product specs for that say this:
Connectors: RJ-45 cable LAN connector
So it should just plug right in.
You can get a wireless adapter either USB or if you can find a compatible PC card to replace that 10/100 card.
USB that old will be USB 1 , so you might have a speed issue since it is quite a bit slower than a USB 2.0
In fact, I have a PC card for sale in buy and sell ,
here. I am 90% + sure that this card, or another card of its type will work. Maybe someone can confirm as I always get confused about PC card types (hence the reason I bought the wrong card type for my computer).
