need a router and I'm confused about options
Hello, I need a wireless router so that I can share my internet connection between my imac and a mac mini in my small home. Also, I need the wireless signal so that my Kindle fire can access it as well. When I started looking at routers, I became really confused just based on prices alone. Some are so inexpensive and others twice as much, but all seem to have similar specs? Am I missing something? I was looking to buy a non-apple product because I'd like to keep the cost down and can't spend a bunch for a airport extreme. Then I read a bunch of horror stories about people not being able to get their routers to work. Is it really that difficult to set up the network that I need? I would like to keep my main imac wired to the modem I have, then also connect the modem to the router which would broadcast it to the other mac and Kindle. Also, would like to share the printer wirelessly. If anyone has advice on current options on the market now that might work for my needs and be user friendly for a networking novice, I'd really appreciate it.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
