I have a airport card installed and I am wondering if whether I can use another wireless router with the airport card?

I'm definitely not the expert here, but I use an Aiport card with a Netgear MR814 wireless router and it works great.
I noticed it was on sale yesterday at buy.com for $49.
I had a bit of trouble getting the security stuff set up, but GHPorter gave me good advice. There is lots of info in posts about this subject on this forum.
I hope I understood the question. Good luck!

You should be fine as long as you can access the setup software. Most of the routers are web based so you can use any computer but if for some reason they could only be accessed by PCs and you don't have one, that would be a problem. Otherwise for original airport you're looking for 802.11b compliant routers, for airport extreme look for 802.11g compliance.

So you can connect through the wired LAN ports OK? If so, try disabling ALL security options untill you get connected wirelessly and then re-add them later.
Are you getting any error messages?

I've had good experiences with an SMC Barricade 7004AWBR - 4 ports 10/100 plus wireless.
I've got 2 Macs (iMac and G3 MT) and a WinNT laptop wired and 2 iBooks wireless.
Admin is through any web browser, and it has a virtual server function so I can forward the SSH port to my server machine and access it from anywhere.
As a bonus, I inherited an old HP LaserJet III and hooked it up to the printserver parallel port, and with GimpPrint I can print to it from any machine on the network,.
