Lynksys will work, as well as any others. THe biggest problem i've seen is that most of the non-Apple units fail horribly at 1. allowing Appletalk (ie for printing, filesharing, etc), and 2. Apple interfaces..
I did have an SMC unit (dunno who'se chips it runs on) that actually had a set IP# for configuartion, so you could just http: right into it to configure. but it still refused AppleTalk, which meant that I had to manually connect to a printer in order to print. Considering that the cost difference is only about $80, it wasn't worth the hassle of going to a printer to connect, resetting my appletalk , rebooting, and hopefully getting a connection.. And then, I still couldn't do Appletalk filesharing to another Mac on the network because Linksys (as well as most of the others that I looked at) refused to offer routing of Appletalk over the ethernet-wireless bridge. All this hassle just to save $80 on a product I would use EVERY DAY? I don't think so.. I sold the units, then went & bought a $149 brand new Airport base station, which works perfectly with everything I have, fully integrated, fully controllable, and hey, it even looks cool. But hey, to each his own.... : ) In a message dated 3/29/04 11:37:40 AM, you wrote: > >Interesting. I have used Linksys in the past.
