Good morning All, I live in the Seattle area and we have all of the electronic and office big box stores, independent Apple dealers, and at least two Apple Stores. I am getting ready to go home wireless with my Pismo, and in reading the Sunday paper and all of the ads, my question is this; why do I need Airport, when there are several name brand WiFi routers on sale for less than $100.00? Aside from Apple loyalty, and the "cool" factor, which may be negligent as the router is often in a place where the casual visitor to your home may not see it and therefor not be impressed by your "cool" factor, is there a compelling technical factor for using an Airport over any of the other good products on the market ? I have been a rabid Mac user since 1985 and love the "look and feel" of the products and how they work, and work, and work! Thanks Jim.
I am very happy with my SMC Barricade "g" "Wireless Access Point"/4 port switch (like a router, only better) and with the "b" model I used before it. Far lower cost, better range, and (to me) no down side. 24/7 tech support (good quality, but from India, so understanding their accent is sometimes a challenge).
