I have not priced Ethernet routers recently, but I paid a similar amount for my Asante many years ago and still use it. I've seen many of my friends' cheap Linksys routers get trashed since, so you get what you pay for. If you're concerned about speed, run the ethernet cable, or get a wireless bridge, like those used by console gamers. An Airport Express would work, but some older routers can be setup as bridges. A used one should be cheap.

My G4 doesn't have an airport card and I don't believe it would work anyway cause the new imac has airport extreme and the G4's airport card is just an airport. I was told by maczones that I should use a router and they suggested Netgear RP614NA Platinum 4port cable dsl router. Does this sound correct? The router is about $50.00. Everything is so expensive!!!!
