I've just purchased a g3 ibook and I'm looking to buy a wireless router (I've already purchased the airport care) . . . any advice as to which brand etc. would be best choice . . . or will any fill the bill . . . get as cheap as possible???

Thanks in advance.

Forget the 802.11b.

Buy an 802.11g unit; they're backwards-compatible, and you'll have the full 54Mbit when and if you get a new machine later on.

I really like the idea of the Airport Express, though my D-Link DI-624 (you can get them for about $75) is flawless, once the proprietary special Xtreme G mode is switched off.
