do you go wirelessly to both? and with what router (looking into netgear)?
- jox0
nope. I have three desktops (2 macs, 1 PC.. all of which have cables) and 2 laptops (one PC, one Mac) wirelessly.
Also have 2 printers hooked up wirelessly and a security camera :)Got the D-link 514 router. It works, but I've considered getting a complete Airport system with the extreme station and everything.

i have a netgear router. It is super easy to set up.

if you get an airport express, be sure to use WEP Password and NOT WPA Personal as your security setting...the latter caused my cable connection to drop about once an hour and frequently required hard resets to get it back online...now that i have my settings working right it is awesome

get the cable modem from your cable company, or buy your own. Motorola makes some good ones.
get a Airport extream or express. or a linksys Wireless router.
make sure to turn on WEP encryption. (wouldnt want any freeloaders would we)

dont forget NOT to buy wires, these guys in shops will still try to seel you some cables even though you're buying wireless.

maybe
I can get some help here without starting a new thread.
why does my itunes or any sound output cut out for a sec once every minute or so with the wireless router running (even tho the mac is running WITH wires thru the route throughput - with no internet software running) or if streaming the stream cuts out completely even tho the pc (the wireless machine) is not running ?
