I'm not a big fan of Macs, but someone has asked me to help get their
iBook connected via a wireless connection, so I'll need some opinions.
It seems to me that the Airport Extreme is what is normally referred to
as a "wireless router" (router with wireless access point), while the
Airport Express is simply a wireless access point. Can anyone confirm
this?
Also, does anyone have any known issues with connecting Macs to WLANs
using non-Apple access points (ie. Linksys, Netgear, D-Link, whatever),
or am I safer going with Apple products for this?
And, last question: What about WPA-PSK? Any issues getting this to work
(assuming OS X Panther 10.3) with either Airport solution or using
third-party WAP?
