What you need depends on what you want to do and how many computers you have. If you only have one computer, the usual setup would be an Airport Base Station (or similar wireless router made by another company) connected to your cable/DSL internet connection, and an Airport card in your Mac. If you have more than one computer, you can still use the Airport Base Station, OR if one of your computers is always turned on and conveniently located you can plug that computer straight into your internet connection, and use that computer as a wireless router, this is usually called a "Software base Station". -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
