I'm sure this has been asked often already but I couldn't find it.

I want a wireless router for my home network. I have a MDD G4 without a card that will need to use a regular Ethernet cable but also a 12" Powerbook 1.5 with the Airport card built-in. Now, I'm not doubting the quality of the Airport stations but they are way overpriced compared with Linksys and others.

Question is, will I have any problem setting up a Linksys with only Macs in my home?

No. They all use web interfaces for configuration. The vast majority, if not all, will work with Safari, and those that don't should work with Firefox.

I use Firefox and can configure my Linksys devices without any problem. I've found the browser interfaces for Linksys, USRobotics, and SpeedStream devices work just fine with Firefox (both Mac and PC versions, by the way).
