The Airport Extreme is a pretty good router, but both Cisco and Dlink
make better, cheaper products.

This is an all-Mac house (G4, Mac Pro, MacBook Pro), but my routers are
Dlink (an older DGL4300) and Engenius (as an AP at the back of the
house). I buy Mac computers, nothing else; I don't buy overpriced
Seagate HDs from them (that I can get from TigerDirect) or their
monitors or mouses or Time Capsules or Apple TV and certainly not a
wireless router ...

So it really does NOT mater what wireless router to
use?

I can use a non-Apple router with an Apple device ok?
