Which wireless router for Mac + PC setup

Which router for iMac G4

I'm a poor British ex-pat living in Southern Spain! I have land line through Telefonica and I believe they can supply me with 1Mb broadband, but can't jumb to 3Mb because of the poor line quality!
I have a iMac G4 running 10.4.7. Any ideas on which routers are compatible, don't want to get stuck with something I can't use!
There appear to be people on this thread with similar problems.

The AEBS is also the only 5GHz 802.11n router I've seen commonly available. Last time I looked, all of the Linksys/etc. ones I looked at were only 2.4GHz.

Doesn't 5Ghz result in less range? I suppose with the cr-Apples, it's hard to see what the problem is. Netgear sell a fair number of 5Ghz routers, and the WRT600N I recommended is dual-radio, dual-band.

I have a WRT54G and it works great with the mix of Macs and PC's here.

When I upgrade though and when 802.11n becomes a standard, then I'll see what's available...I personally wouldn't buy a router until then.

Airport Extreme. Or just an Express to save a buck. You can plug it into your current Router and disable the wireless on the old one.

kinda pointless to two routers daisy chained like that though...

I use an Airport Extreme Base Station and I have no issues with using it with my Macs, my work laptop (I refer to it as "El Crapo"), my Drobo/Droboshare, and my HP printer all on network.

I do have to admit my work laptop spends very little time on the internet, and only at work related sites. So, I can't really speak about security..........

Some people are missing the features that the AEBS has, Wireless N, gigabit, USB port for hdd or printer etc. well worth the money imo.

those are all great features but im just looking for a router....
