I bought a 12' powerbook just the other day and I want to be able to use the airport extreme card in my house. Currently I have a router in my house which connects to two computers and another hub which has 2 computers plugged into that. To set myself up for wireless connectivity I want to use one of the ports on the hub that is not being used. So my question is do I need to buy a wireless router or a wireless access point? Depending on which one I need can anybody recommend one to me that is easy to set up and connect to.


Any help would be great!!!

Um ya you need a wireless router. you can get them for under $50 from Netgear. Linksys sucks.

If you want to spend lots get the Apple Airport base stations.

P.s. don't bother with a access point, the usually cost more then the entire wireless router.
