With the modem, you have little choice. Buy whatever basic model Adelphia says you need (they're $50-80 last I saw). Don't buy one that includes a wifi AP in the modem (can't upgra…

ok, gotcha ya. hows the d-link compared to the linksys?

I had lots of trouble with D-Link and Netgear. My Linksys has been going strong. tooki

Linksys and Netgear (twice!) have both had brain-dead security holes ("super"). Many people like the Linksys WRT54G because they can load different software on it, but I'm very ha…

which one has better reception? range? quality? i gotta pick one

Would something like this offer the same features as an AirPort Extreme at a lower price? http://www.usr.com/products/networki...es&sku=USR5461 Would the printer sharing confi…

Range and performance depend on so many different variables that it is impossible to say which one works better in all cases. I would look for a device that offers external, high-…

how do i add an access point? i'm moving into a 5 bedroom, 2 story house. i'd like to be able to walk aorund the house and at any point have my macbook function with a nice conn…

Adding an access point is as simple as pluging it into a LAN port on a wired router. You still have to set up the access point, but you do that via the network. And most likely y…

aah i got ya, i thought "access point" meant something else.

Access point means only the wireless connection between your wired network and your wireless network; it is different from a "wireless bridge" or "game adapter" because those two d…

There are faster speeds offered through two techniques: proprietary "speed boost" systems and "pre-N" technologies. The proprietary systems work ok, but both your wireless router/…

i see more expensive wireless access points out there. would it even be worth it to get a better one? if so what is a really good one around 120 dollars?

So, my beautiful new MacBook showed up on my doorstep yesterday. Happily I unwrapped it (amazing how Apple can even make their packing styrofoam look cool) but I was immediately b…

Need more info: network settings, particularly your router's security settings, are probably the culprit. Using WEP? That is a bit of a pain when adding a Mac to an existing netw…

So you've got access to your wireless LAN, but the internet doesn't work through the MBP? That seems really odd to me, I can't imagine what settings on the Mac would prevent intern…

Thanks for the suggestions and offers for help! I accidentally came across the solution. I simply needed to change the "Channel" setting on my linksys router from channel 6 to ch…

It could easily have been an interference issue; just about EVERY new wireless access point/router comes out of the box set for channels 6 or 7, and not many people do anything but…

How long has it been since the airport extreme debuted? The airport express was a nice gadget but shouldn't there be another update to the airport family soon? I have never worke…

You must be cautious when considering a third party's extremely high rate claims; they ALL depend on having THEIR client hardware and thus you cannot reach those speeds with an Air…

Glenn, thanks for the words. I'm personally not concerned with range as I have a G5, my wife has the XP laptop. In fact, I may use the ethernet connection on the ABS. I also hav…

Yes, the Express will act as a range extender for an AirPort Base Station. Will it act as a repeater for an AirPort card? Good darn question! Sorry I can't help with that...I …

I wonder if anyone has figured out how to get the Airport Express to support the modem on its usb port. Since I have a Macbook Pro I had to buy the modem. But I would be much hap…

I'm in the middle of porting InfoNES to the Mac in Cocoa and I'm looking for someone to work with me. Specific skills of interest would be Core Graphics and Core Image/bitmap graph…
