Wireless Router Suggestions???

[jackfrost9p]

Hi, I am looking for a Mac friendly wireless router, except I dont want to spend $170 on the Airport Base Station. I have a new Mac Pro that would be wired to the router, and a new ipod touch that I would like to connect wirelessly. I appreciate your help.

Do you have the Airport Card in your Mac Pro? If so you could just turn internet sharing on.

I have two D-Link's DIR-635s and they work very well with my iMac.

A Linksys WRT54G will do you well. It is one of the best routers in existence, and very well priced. You don't need a wireless N router because the iPod touch is wireless G. It is only 100mb/s wired, but since you say you only have one computer on your network and I assume your internet connection speed is well under 100mb/s, a gigabit network is overkill.

I recommend the Buffalo WHR-HP-G54. I use it and set them up for all my family.

Thanks for your replies. I did not get the wireless card, but oh well. I think those router will do fine.

Thanks again.

I may be a bit late, but I've got the Belkin N+ router and it works great for me.

I've got a Dell XPS 410 and PowerMac G4 hooked up via gigabit ethernet and a Mac mini, Dell Studio 540, iPod Touch, PS3, Wii, and soon a Dell Studio 1537 connected wirelessly.

Setup wasn't too hard either.

I use an AirPort Express at my house shared by a MacBook Pro, iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch. It's been awesome--very easy to use; great signal and I have it set up to stream music from my computer to living room speakers via the audio out (1/8") port on the router. It's like the size of the power brick for a MacBook pro so very tiny -- I take it on trips sometimes to use at hotels that only offer ethernet.

The Time Machines have built in wi-fi too right? If I was to do it all over again I'd probably go for one of those to use as a file storage server but for $99 the AirPort Express has been awesome.
