This may be out of our bailiwick on this list, but here goes:
DP 1.8 G5, running Leopard 10.5.8, 4 gigs ram, hardwired into the
Airport extreme (saucer, model A1034)
an iPad 1
2 or 3 iphones (if daughter is home)
2 mac laptops (when both girls are home)
netflix via wireless (airport extreme) on the home entertainment system
Hp 5-in-1 printer, which must be hardwired into the computer for
scanning.
Cable modem
She who must be obeyed has expressed displeasure with the Airport
Extremes performance, constant reboots and associated interruptions in
movies and playing on the iPad.
Is there one that is better for a home system than others?
Anyone had good luck with refurbished units?
Limits: G5 does not have an airport card, so needs hardwire
(currently ethernet) entry.

WEP 128 bit security? Should I assume WEP 256 is better? Or is WPA
adequate?
Will updating into the n-bands have a large increase of speed for
phones and laptops?
Is the Airport Extreme the only router? If not have you tried hard
wiring the G5 to test?
