Hi:
As a pre-newbie to the wonderful world of the MAC, I'd like to find out... HOW ARE YOU CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET? Seems to me that a hardwire connection, directly to the cable modem or DSL, is the best way to go. Some people swear by the wireless Airport Extreme route. Let me hear your views, ok? JET... |

Before going the Airport way, I'd wait Apple upgrade its hardware at last to support the upcoming "g" norm which is wayyy faster.
The choice of wireless is only if you plan to work let's say with a laptop away from your usual working place. If you're using a desktop computer, there's no reason to, hardwiring is just simpler and faster. On the geeky side, if you want a mixed network,something like the linksys WRT54G/GS/GL (the models you can change the OS) can give you reliable wireless, good wired network, extensive security options. (note, this is a geek solution, and some rare ISP are not friendly with it even if it's one of the best wireless touer/firewall around) I'm on DSL, which is way faster than any wireless anyway (24 Mbs). And I plan to move to a Linksys WRT54GS (of an old version) soon as I use a netgear router a friend is lending to me. -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
