Hello! I am considering a subscription to RoadRunner. My understanding is that in order to hook up several iMacs (in this case 3) to the cable modem, I will need a router. Two questions: Do I need a separate hub or do some (or all) routers also function as hubs. Also, can anyone recommend a brand of router. I�d appreciate hearing any pros and cons regarding a particular type or brand of router. I�ve used Macs since 1988 but am new to networking so any help or resources would be greatly appreciated.
I have an original Bondi (Rev A) iMac running System 8.6 and will be networking with a 400Mhz iMac DV SE (System 9.1), and a 500 Mhz iMac (System 9.2.) One additional question, I'm planning on having cable modem and router in an unheated garage which can get quite cold in winter (though unusual, it could go down to as low as zero degrees Fahrenheit.) Is there any problem with this? Thanks! -Michael -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
