Best modem/router for a Mac / PC Combo

Hey guys

I've got a mac pro and macbook pro hooked up to an aging Netgear modem/router - the former via ethernet, the latter via wireless. I also use it for a wired connection to my playstation 3 and a Windows PC

I basically need a new, faster modem/router that works well with both mac and PC. One day I'll bin the PC, but for the moment, it's part of the equation

I need at least 3 ethernet connections (high speed if poss), and support for 108 / wimax / mimo / N / whatever protocol happens to be out there

I know I won't get the 'perfect' router but am prepared to compromise in certain areas.

Price is a factor, but I'll spend more on something robust

Any help appreciated - sorry if my explanation if oversimplistic, but that's how I like it 🙂

Cheers, L

I have a few-years-old LinkSys G which works fine with my PCs and Macs. It's Leopard 10.5.6 friendly after the most recent firmware update. Completely problem-free.
Any newer model should work at least as well. It's a combo WiFi and wired router.

Hi,

I have similar to this one ( http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=29&l2=172&l3=743&l4=60&model=1277&modelmenu =1 ), but a one or two years older and till now I haven’t lose a connection.
I’m accessing to this with iMac, Win (HP, IBM) laptops, iPhone… one of the best investments (beside iMac and iPhone.. 😉 )


I have a PC with an ASUS MB (see my profile), and have great respect for ASUS products. I was not even aware that they made routers.
Thanks for the information.
