dudley Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Hello all, I'm about to get a PowerBook (cheers), and will set up a wireless network in my new place - What wireless routers work well with APExtreme and Panther, and which should I avoid? User experiences helpful. (Let's avoid the 'wait 'til Tiger' discussion 'cause is it April, or June...) A combination cable modem/wireless router would be ideal at this point.

PureEdit Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 I have a netgear router and an airport express. Both work great. I have a printer and speakers attached to the airport express and anybody can use them both wirelessly and with an ethernet cable.

AnimeUSA Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 I use a Wireless G Linksys Router. Works with both B and G frequencies. And you can download customized firmware to enhance it more. :) I highly recommend trying Linksys.

Vice Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 They are all compatible aslong as they conform to the 802.11B/G WiFi protocol. Which basically every single one sold is, netgear linksys so on are all fully compatible and work aswell as they do if they was being used in a Windows computer environment. so just read some online reviews of Wireless routers and buy the one that the real reviewers suggest to you.
