Just got my iMac today. I don't know anything about their wireless internet networking and such.

My question is:

Do I need an AirPort Base Station to get internet on it? I have a wireless modem and thought that it would just connect to that. I don't wanna connect the Mac straight into the modem because its in a different room, so the last thing I want is people tripping over it.

If your modem/router has wireless already you should be good to go. Wireless is wireless is wireless.
