We make it a rule on our network (I don't want their home traffic on my wireless network!) Best Buy can sell you an elCheapo (DLink) for $39 (after rebates). Linksys and Netgear are usually $49 (after rebate). They're not like Eje's with a serial fail-over. 2: About 5% of my customers have Macs. Ranging in OS from 7 to X. I've noticed weird things about most of them and don't know how to debug. Most of them don't have any problem picking up an IP from their router, but one lady has 4 MACs (X,9,?,?) and only 1 of them will pick up an IP from her DLink 604 router (btw... it generates a javascript error on her browserS when you try to configure it. My laptop has no problem getting an IP from the router, and has no problem configuring it. My Win2K server can configure her router too. Go figger!) But they're all up and running, so I'm not worried about it! None of them freeze their airBridge (but only 1 of them is connected directly to her airBridge. All the rest are connected into a router). You need to charge for problems that aren't yours. You'll spend a lifetime chasing down other people's problems for free. We charge a minimum of $40/hr to fix their stuff.
