Hello Scott,
I really appreciate your views on this subject. Of course, this is why
I posted on this list. Primarily to find what works with Safari and
VoiceOver. One of the reasons I mentioned an Airport Base station is
because of its interface. Everyone has his or her particular
experiences and that makes for a clearer summation of what we have all
used and have experience with. I'm really glad I brought this subject
to this forum. I will probably be making my decision in a few days or
so.
Thanks.
Dan

I would not recommend getting any combo unit. I'm sure some will
argue, but I would prefer to rent the modem in the event it fails or
there is a problem, it's the cable company's problem. I would also
recommend the Apple routers. They may not be the cheapest option,
but they are very reliable, accessible, and configurable. I have
not found a configuration they could not handle. I have a DSL modem
from Verizon and luckily they provide it at no charge once you have
met a one year commitment to the DSL service. I've met that and work
with them to replace the modem if damaged. Besides, it's cheaper to
keep you as a customer and provide the modem then have you drop the
service.

Hello Alex,
Thanks for the Lynksys observation.
The other thing is that I want to install without any of that
useless CD install crap. I want to do it manually.

Hi,
So, yeah, Comcast.net eh. A Visually Impaired person works at
Comcast out of curiousity. There isn't any reason they shouldn't,
I am just pointing out that Comcast is accepting.
Also, Steer clear of the Linksys, unless you are absolutely sure
it will work with Safari. Some do, until you go to save and get a
Safari error.
Thanks for listening,

Hi Alex,
If we do this, we would be switching to Comcast.

Hi,
Which ISP, out of curriousity?
Also, Lynksys are aweful from my experiance, since every other
moddel needs Firefox or IE and won't work with Firefox.
Basestations are the best bet I think.
Thanks,

Hello everyone,
We are getting ready to purchase either a wireless router and
Cable modem or a Cable modem Wireless Router combined.
So my question is this. Which router has the best and clearest
interface for Safari and VO?
Or would I be better to consider an Airport base station.
We will also be connecting a few windows machines and a Linux
box as well.
Thanks.
