Chosen Solution
I just purchased a airport card for my mac mini. I have a dumb question. Don’t I need a airport antenna and if so why don’t they sell them together?
I believe the Mac mini included the built-in antenna even if the optional Airport card was not installed at time of purchase, i.e. it’s already installed inside the case - just need to plug it in if you later install an Airport card
This is not necessarily the case. I have two mac mini computers, one is a G4 1.25mhz and the other is a G4 1.42mhz and neither has an aerial.
Mine is a G4 1.42mhz and it doesn’t have an antenna or a wireless interface card. It was purchased as Apple Refurb and had never been unpacked (was still in the plastic cling wrap). Model A1103, Order Number M9687LL/A, Model ID: PowerMac10,1. Had a Superdrive but no Bluetooth.
