Hello Scott,
Fantastic. It's looking more and more like I'll go with one of the
Airport routers. I was just reading the manuals for both the Airport
router as well as for the Time-capsule. The instructions are well
written. One of the things I really like is that when the amber light
is on, the utility will open and display all pertinent information. I
am really sold on Airport and I am just about to the point of making
my mind up along that direction.
If you don't mind, I do have two other questions.
1. How should my Son log on with his Ipod Nano? For example,Wood it be
best to set up a MAC address?
2. If you don't know, perhaps someone else might know about this one.
How should I set up my Icon to work on the Airport?
Thanks so much to everyone.

with the drive built-in. I have also used Linux machines on the
network and I currently have a windows and Linux VM running on my
Mac and yet have had no issues at all in these setups either.

Hello Dan,
Thanks for your observations.
That's another option to seriously consider.
While I doubt if there are really any problems, along this line, I
do have a question.
Are there any particular problems associated with setting up other
platforms on the airport router, such as Windows or Linux?
Thanks.

Hi, at onetime, I did have a Linksys, and had no issues with it
in Safari, however, I'd often lose my connection when I'd be right
in the middle of something, , and as a result,have to unplug the
router for a few seconds,and plug it back in. THese times of
having to do that got so frequent, and plus I wanted something to
back up my Mac, and use TIme Machine with, so I got a 500 gig Time
Capsule, and haven't had the experience of things cutting out at
all like I did with the Linksys router. So I'd highly recommend
going with an apple base station of some sort.

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.
