Hi,

I would like to know how to deal with my actual crappy non wireless router while adding a wireless one aimed to feed my Nintendo DS with wi-fi service.

Actual set up, three Macs sharing internet thourgh a non wireless router, all of them lack Airport goods, the more likely to get it would be a 2003 MDD G4 1,25 GHz model.

So… I guess I need to 'add' a wireless router, there is a list of compatible routers at www.nintendowifi.com Both, Airport Express and Airport Extreme are there, but they are honestly, kinda expensive just to feed the DS' wi-fi. So I could check another options like linksys models (BEFW11S4 and D-Link DI-624 / 524), but I know 'nada' about actual Tiger compatibility. Not to mention I unknow the needed proccess to get a new router working 'inside' the actual network configuration I have here.

Let me show you the list of wireless routers that have been tested. If anyone thinks about a good option there, please let me know

There are a number of ways you can go about setting this sort of thing up. I'd go with one of the "recommended" routers, like the Linksys WRT54G, the D-Link DI-624, or the SMC SMC2804WBR (all of which should be significantly less expensive than either the AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express).

All you have to do with any of these devices is connect their "WAN" or "Internet" port to your broadband modem and your computers to the wired ports, then use a browser to configure things-it's not too complicated, and you can always ask "what do they mean by..." kind of questions here.

Was I helpful?
