Router Suggestions? Dell and old G3 iMac

Need some expertise on what router to buy (I am a data IT man not network)

Have iMac G3, no wireless
Have a Dell Laptop with wireless
Possible 3rd mac being bought

I need a router that is both wired and wireless. Not sure what brand is the best or ease of use (Belkin, Linksys, etc)

Thanks!

Hi Jeffrey

I have been using a D-Link DI-624 for over a year now and I like it. I have never tried any other brand so I can't compare.

I have a Mac mini Intel (airport), Dell desktop wired and a Dell laptop wireless. I also had a G4 wired to it and it worked fine.

The configuration can be quite puzzling for someone who doesn't know Windows (like me!) but I got through it(I guess it is the same for all routers!) For the Mac, it does all the work for you, as usual...

Hey Jeffrey.

You can mark the messages with either one of two 'helpful', or one 'solved'.

These designations give each person points that accumulate.

If you look right below the person's name you will see a blue progress-type bar.

This designates how many points a person has accumulated.

So if you have the time maybe hand out some credits, and don't hesitate to ask more questions. I do on a regular basis when a search of the forum doesn't return an answer.

See ya.
