Hi everyone,
I am looking for recommendations for a wireless modem/router which is Mac 10.6 compatible and in the best MSE tradition gives the best combination of performance and price.

Thanks in advance!

SB

    The router is independent of whatever operating system you have on your computer, you don't need a mac-specific one.

    If it doesn't need to be white ;), you can chose any wireless router. Router are not dependent on the operating system as you connect through an ethernet cable or wireless to it.

    Thanks for your replies and advice that modems are not OS dependent.

    The reason I'm having to upgrade my old modem/router is that it won't work on intel Macs. I'd been looking at the specs of new ones and most specify what OS they are compatible with.

    To clarify - it's simply a case of buying the modem and router I want and by default it will work with my OS?

    Thanks

    That's it in a nutshell.

    Don't bother with the CD that comes with the modem/router, you access the routers configuration page using your web browser.
    Remember kids, it's the volts that jolt and the mills that kill.
