[QUOTE="soccerphysio, post: 774331, member: 53695"] I have searched these forums for the benefits of the different AirPort wireless options, but still not sure which would be best for my situation. I currently have my iMac and my wife's PC running off of a LinkSys WRT54G router, and things typically run fairly smoothly. However, we will be giving our kids a iMac for Christmas. Their computer will be used upstairs, approximately 45-60 feet away from the router. I eventually would like to purchase a wireless printer for them to be able to access via their computer. So my options are: 1. Airport Express 2. Airport Extreme 3. Keep as is. I am thinking of switching to an Airport because I assume the Apple products in the house (including iPhones) would work better together using Airport. Eventally, we will replace the laptop PC with a Mac laptop. Keep in mind, I am not very tech savy, and if I elect to switch to one of the Airports and it is difficult to connect my wife's PC (or it simply does not work as well as my current setup), I am a dead man! What would you guys recommend for my situation? Thanks for all of the great advice you guys provide! [/QUOTE]
