    Not without gear. Check for breaks in your aerial. (whereever that is on an ig4). Without it everything will report ok, but not be in range of anything.

    would airport card die like that?

    Potentially yes. Not likely, but potentially. But if AHT tests it as being ok, it sounds more like a signal problem than a hardware one... meaning either interferrance or an aerial problem or maybe just software or configuration. What are you trying to connect to?
