Does anyone use one of these? This is what the one employee at Staples that knows anything about Macs sold me but I am still skeptical. I find very few Mac references on their website for support for this product but I did find one thing in the knowledge base. just wondering if anyone else has one.<br>http://www.linksys.com/Products/product.asp?grid=33&scid=35&prid=508<br><br>

Routers like this tend to be configured from a web browser so it should work fine, just plug it in and look in the documentation for the IP type it into a web browser and bingo you should be able to configure it.<br><br>"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman

Thanks I have it right here. This weekend we are putting an Airport card in the TiBook and then it is just a short time until we get satellite internet. The router will go on the B&W G3 running 10.2.8.<br><br>
Should be no problem. There is hardly any set up. Last week I plugged a Linux machine into it (which I know NOTHING about) and it just worked, and now I can share things with it and the Macs without any problem.<br><br>
The only place where lack of Mac support on a router matters is that you can't run any firmware updates... and that's never been an issue with my network.<br><br>
You do know about Mac TFTP though right? I've upgraded my linksys firmware without too much trouble.<br><br><br>The firmware mine shipped with wouldn't work with dyndns.org, so I needed an update<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by Trog on 02/26/04 12:16 PM (server time).</EM></FONT></P>
That's pretty sweet. Thanks for the link. Ironically, I started using a DLink wireless router when I bought a Powerbook (it was the cheapest one I could buy at the time). When I'm ready, I'll buy a nicer router with 802.11g instead of just b and I think I'll look at the more Mac-friendly brands... now if I can only remember the names of the brands.<br><br>
