There's little difference between the basic setup on any of them. I have a D-Link in my office and a NetGear at home; both work fine with Macs. The only brand I couldn't get to work well with my PowerBook was Microsoft. (Big surprise!) Apparently, Microsoft recently abandoned the router business, so there might be some good deals on a Microsoft router. By the way, Linksys was recently acquired by Cisco, so the future of the brand is hazy. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be June 22.
