Apple PowerBook FW800 Wifi
A lot of newer wireless adapters are plug-n-play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will handle everything from there. Finding a WiFi adapter is easy due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the current operating system on your Apple PowerBook FW800. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, makes use of a wireless adapter to send and receive signals to and from your wireless router or modem. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a common WiFi USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have.
