Linksys WRT54G wireless router works great

I updated my old G3 iBook with an original Airport card. Just spend $49.99 on a Linksys WRT54G wireless router, and wanted folks to know that the iBook recognized it immediately. I didn't have to use the software that comes with the router (it's for Windows machines, anyway). I downloaded the manual from the Linksys site, then went through and configured the router for security purposes. My iMac is hooked directly to it. Seems to work great.

I always have trusted D Link since I've been using Mac's. I'm in the market for a wireless router, sounds like I might give Linksys a try.

If you only have macs on the network, I wouldn't worry about security. Just keep them updated...

Unless you keep the plans for your unpatented time machine on your system, that is.

For what it's worth the new firmware seems to be working fine. See this other thread for others who have upgraded...

hacked? seriously now, hacked? So much for the 128 bit encryption or whatever they say its safe, when it could be hacked...
