The truly amazing thing is the actual stupidity you come across in
this PC dominated world when it comes to Mac Networking. Back when I
used PC's I used a wired network and I was really new to networking
back then. I even took a course on it at a local community college.
With that under my belt and a couple of texts to refer to, I went at
it. I bought my routers and all of my cat 5 cables and then the PC's
still wouldn't cooperate. One would see some but others wouldn't
see others. It took me weeks to finally get it to where I finally
have everybody able to share files and printers. When I was able to
afford a Windows NT server, that helped quite a bit.
Then I made the switch in 2001 and started going over to wireless,
obvious choice was wireless and networking has never been so easy.
Using only Apple hardware probably has made it a lot easier on me
than using 2nd and 3rd party equipment. Everything works right out
of the box and works with little to no configuration. As far as
wireless networking, Apple the top of the line. I would not consider
using anything else.

Reminds me of when I went to Staples, and asked a salesperson about
setting up a wireless network between a PC and a Mac. They didn't
know, so they called over a "higher up", who told me it could not
be done.
I got a Linksys WRT54G (not from Staples), installed an Airport
extreme card, called Linksys tech support.... and very soon after,
Voilà, the "impossible" was actually quite easy, even for a tech-
impaired person like me.

I called customer support and got a very unhelpful person at the
other end who told me that "you shouldn't be using this with a Mac
in the first place".
So they really don't want Mac users buying their product.....
