[QUOTE="J.Fo, post: 1032649, member: 66834"] No need for an Apple-brand wireless router. If you already have a WiFi network set up at your home, you'll be able to connect to it with any Mac. When I bought my MacBook two years ago, I had it connected to a Microsoft wifi router. Aside from the fact that it was an old slow 802.11b router, it worked just fine. However, I upgraded that old thing to a Time Capsule (which is basically an Airport Extreme base station with a built-in hard drive). I really like it because it (a) let's me wirelessly backup the hard drive on my laptop and (b) is loads easier to set up and control than any other router I've encountered. Apple is really good about making things simple and automatic. That extends to their wireless routers as well. Still, if yours is working perfectly fine no need to change. Just enter your network's password and you should be good to go. [/QUOTE]
