Hello, wireless internet now works, i have the linksys wrt160 which comes with
setup software that works on the mac. You can also of course use the
webinterface.
Setting up wpa2 protection was a breeze.
Greetings, Anouk,

I got it a few years ago so I don't recall off the top of my head. It was
just whatever BestBuy had for a reasonable price at the time. Previously I had
another router and while I was away on vacation a nest of ants decided to make
their home in it, eggs and all. I just put the whole thing in the trash and
bought the Linksys.

I've been pretty happy with my linksys router. Pretty much works like an
outlet strip for internet connections plus adds wireless. It (or my
cable modem) was a bit sensitive to power burps so about once a month
I'd have to trek down to the basement and power cycle it, but then I
installed a UPS and can't recall the last time I had to restart it.

Chris is right here. In the US, these boxes have a battery, so pulling
the plug and replugging it will not work. You need to find the reset
button, on the Motorola boxes I have used you need a unfolded paper
clip to reset the box. Your cable vendor should also be able to do
this remotely. Your best bet is really to get a firewall router that
supports NAT. Otherwise you are subjecting your PC software to too
much open visability. Apple airport will work, but so will Linksys and
other inexpensive home routers.

I have only a cable modem, it is not even a real router (it has no
internal firewall for example) although i use it for phone and internet.

Strange. The Macs and PCs use the same DHCP protocols to get an
address. Is this going right from the router to the Mac or do you
have a firewall/NAT/wireless thing inbetween. If it is direct
then sometime the cable modem reads the hardware address of your
computer and needs a full power cycle to let go and read a new one.

Hello, my macbook pro arrived this morning via ups I must say
its quick, i ordered 8 days ago via bank transfer and a custom
configuration.
Everything works fine although i get lost in a few dialogs.
I cant connect to the internet htough. I use a cable modem and
udner windows i can just push in the network cable and I am
ready to go. Not so now htough.
Any idea of what routers work best with the mac? I was thinking
of getting a linksis pre-n router, will that work?
If i just configure the touter right and it works on the pc
should i also just be able to plug it into the mac for it to work?
