[DM-MUG] wireless router?

[Jon Thompson]

Hi Jon,

All of the Apple gear is useful in different ways:

Airport express - small, allows audio to be played through iTunes to  
it.  Allows printers to attach.  Only has one ethernet port (for the  
incoming connection)
Airport Extreme - Allows multiple hardwired computers to attach,  
allows external hard drives and printers to attach.
Time Capsule - Airport Extreme with internal hard drive - only  
supported wireless time machine solution

There are third party wireless devices, but I would suggest sticking  
with one of these three, depending on your needs.  They are very easy  
to setup, as well as all being draft-n devices.  Some of the other  
wireless devices I've played with have been a bear to configure.
