Generally routers works fine for both PC and Mac but manufacturers
had the habit of putting in their box that product works ok with
Windows -- XP etc and no mention that it works ok with Mac. Perhaps
they are not targeting Mac users as their clients.

That's what I was getting at. Plus, as far as my bespectacled eyes
can tell, the box says "Designed for Microsoft Windows XP" on most,
if not all of their products. That's enough to make me look the
other way. No blue X = not buying...

Huh? Their routers all seem to have web-config and they're all
802.11, so I don't see how it can not be mac-friendly. I havent used
one yet though, so correct me if I am wrong.
As long as you don't need their support, you're fine. But if you
ever need
to call them and tell them that you're using it with a Macintosh,
they will
almost hang up on you.
FYI, Over the period of two years, I had 2 Linksys cable/dsl
routers. Both
stopped functioning without any apparent reasons. Right after the
warranty
ended up. I decided to go with D-Link and so far, after a little
bit over a
year, it's still running fine. They were all Ethernet routers, not
wireless,
though.
YMMV...
