I know that this question comes up over and over again, as recently as today. I have just read threads upon threads on this until I got a headache, and I am not lazy or dumb, depending upon who you ask.
I am looking at (and possibly bidding on) Linksys G54S (with "Speedbooster", various Volume #s) on ebay. I am getting all sorts of conflicting info on these forums about Linksys. Auctions end Soon, no big deal as more stuff to buy comes on every two minutes.
I just purchased a gorgeous shiny gently used MacBook (2GHz Intel Duo Core, Superdrive, with a paltry 512Mb RAM, OS10.4.8) last week, and only want a Reliable wireless router for my Cable Broadband connection (which I may switch to DSL). I do not want to jump through a billion hoops to have wireless, and don't need huge range. I don't really want to spend hours on the phone with some tech support, tho, nor can I spend much over $100 unless it's warranted. I do plan to download Music, but not much else, yet. I just feel like AirPort is Overpriced, but maybe not? I invite the floodgates of wisdom and opinion to open yet again on this....
