NetGear also supports the "clone Mac address" feature (or lets you type it
in).
I just bought 3 of their routers this week.
BUT while they note Mac compatibility on the box, there are no Mac
instructions "in" the box, and their tech support seems to love command line
access. I had to use Telnet and an FTP client to update the firmware. But
once updated there are many more features in the web browser based setup.
So they are improving and the new routers shipping should have the new
firmware that will make easy to just use any web browser to configure.
Although this really isn't a Mac/PC issue, using telnet and FTP to configure
a router is difficult for normal users on ANY platform.
I would have happily bought an Asante or Farallon version but they are not
carried in most stores and with the CompUSA sale having the NetGear under
$50 (and even lower once employees get their discount) I couldn't pass it
up.
BTW the $129 -$50-$30 = $49 sale is good till tomorrow 7/7/00

or the Wireless(airport) Linksys 4 port Router is $199
