Wireless Routers for Macbook Air?

Get the Apple Extreme. Longer reach, better throughout, etc. than the Express. It's the best router I've ever used. Haven't had to reset it in the 2 years I've owned it.

Also Apple devices tend to have issues with non-Apple routers.

That is just plain not true. Both of my non apple routers in the past 5 years have worked flawlessly with all of my apple products (air, pro, iphone, ipad, atv, etc.)

Also when going to a coffee shop and using their connection I have never had issues (and I guarantee you they do not use apple routers)

I have never heard of such a thing as Apple devices have issues with non-Apple routers. That's not true at all.

Do you have any examples to support this claim?

What is your basis for this? That would be VERY bad, as MOST routers out there are non-Apple.

My personal experience shows that while an AEBS that I purchased worked well with my iMacs, it did not like both my HP wireless printer and my Dell laptop. I had to return it and instead have been using a Linksys WRT610N dual band router for over 2 years and it has worked flawlessly.
