[QUOTE="alucard, post: 273394, member: 17698"] Networking is networking no matter what OS you are using. I think the only problem you would come across is the area you mentioned, updating firmware or making modifications to the routers. In most cases all you need is the ability to connect to that routers IP with a web browser. Then, from that point you can do what you want. With that said i believe some routers (perhaps the WAP54G as well) needs you to load software before being able to access that router via the browser. the software basically goes out and searches for the router then allows you to give it an IP, gateway and subnet mask. I just did this recently with a linksys router and the software wasn't OS X compatible. For everything else i don't think you will have a problem. [/QUOTE]
