I'm so glad this subject came up. Scot, you mention using an Apple router. I have 3 PCs in the house and one Mac. I can connect my PCs to my router and get a wireless connection for my laptop. Router has external antennas and is a linksys. However, when I try to connect the Mac to the router it refuses to work. I have to keep it connected to the hub directly. Do Macs only work with Apple routers? Betsy At 02:28 AM 5/2/2010, you wrote: >Actually I would disagree on the internal verses external antennas >in all cases.
