Hi there,

In a couple of weeks i am going to get a new imac. I am currently running a Dell laptop with the router that i got free when i signed up with Tiscali last year. Now when i get the imac i want to go wireless, any recommendations on a wireless router? Bearing in mind i want a good quality one, but don't want to pay the earth...

Sorry i don't really know a great deal about computers, so be paitent

thanks in advance...
Martin

What's wrong with the one you have?

Oh - sorry - it's not wireless? Well, Apple's range of wireless routers are excellent, and very easy to set up.

I don't know, the Airport express is about 90USD, and the extreme about 170 both worth it if you ask me - yes - you can get cheaper routers, but, well, you get what you pay for.
On the other end of the spectrum, I have a Linksys that I got for 30USD that has only ever been a mild PITA.
