Im about to become a mac owner, iv been using PC's all my life and im finaly making the switch. And im wondering how i should go about hooking up my macbook to the internet. Right now i have a desktop PC hooked up via a DSL connection. I want to maintain this connection and add something so i can go on my macbook wirelessly. Can i buy a regular PC router hook it up to my PC and be able to access it on my mac? or do i need to buy a apple product to be able 2 access it.

Some help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.

You can use a PC router just fine with a mac book. Especially if you have a PC to configure it
