[QUOTE="gixxersean, post: 819716, member: 64268"] I have two (almost) brand new Mac's with wireless N cards in them. My mother uses an old HP with windows ME in it. I am considering buying the Airport Extreme, but I'm worried if wheter or not I will be able to hardwire my mothers computer through cat-5 cables because her hardware is outdated. She does, however, have an ethernet port, but it is an old computer and I heard that you have to have a newer one for it to work. Does anyone know about this? I'm worried if I buy this router my mom won't be able to connect to the internet. So to clarify: I need a new wireless router My mom has an old HP w/ Windows ME I'll connect fine through wifi Will my mom have trouble to connect to the internet through the ports on the back of the Airport Extreme. Thanks for any help [/QUOTE]
