Is anybody using a Linksys Wireless access point with their macs ? I had been debating between Linksys and just going for the Airport Extreme Base Station. Of course there is a huge difference in price between the two but I had also heard that many users had trouble setting up the Linksys and then getting a constant connection.
I am on cable modem and have an iMac and a new Al 15" Powerbook that I want to have hooked up.
I'm sure the Linksys will work, but ISTR that the Airport Extreme Base Station has features that aren't in the linksys -- a USB port for printer sharing, a second Ethernet port for a hard-wired computer to use, a built-in AOL-compatible modem (important for people cursed with that "service") ...
If you need any of that stuff, or think you might need support for the Base Station down the road, I'd go with Apple.
