Got an antenna port, no antenna. The guy I got it from said it didn’t have AirPort installed so it didn’t come with one, and the folks at the Apple store said it didn’t need it. Plus it said on the Box “No antenna needed” and in the instruction manual they even do a Q&A:
Do I need to install an AirPort antenna?
No the antenna used by the AirPort extreme card is built in.
Well, I guess I HAVE to spend $110 total to get this bugger to connect Wireless. The sad thing is that I really don’t have ANY faith that for just $30 more it will finally work.
The Airport Express manual means that the antenna came with *the computer*. No *additional* antenna need be installed.
The antenna was in the packaging that the G5 came in. You bought an incomplete computer. Your computer’s previous owner didn’t fully assemble the machine.
It’d be like buying a Dell laptop with no battery and then whining that the thing wouldn’t work without the power adapter plugged in - you bought an incomplete system.
Oh, I suggest you contact your computer’s previous owner to ask for your antenna. It’s not Apple’s fault, they shipped the unit with an antenna.
