Hi,
I personaly use a Linksys router. That is not socpmplex to configure,
but it depend on your level on understanding of networking. (Mine is
very good, as I work in this field).
But up to date, I never found a Linksys router (or other brand) that
support USB printing (with 54G).
The airport express as 2 more advantages: portability (you can cary
it, if you have a portable) and AirTunes (to listen music anywhere in
the house). With all that, it may not be as pricey as it sounds.

Hi,
I have been seriously considering purchasing the Airport Express but
am wondering if there is anything that will do the same job for a
cheaper price ? I understand that it is easier to set up the
Airport Express - I am a little weary of the Linksys routers etc.
Are they a real pain to set up with Macs ?

Here's a snippet from a review of the Airport Express with Itunes, "
Each installation of Itunes can play to only one location at a time. For
instance, if you're streaming songs to your living room from your
office, you can't listen to songs using Itunes in your office."
Personally, for now I'm sticking with my lowly but reliable Dlink B
wireless router since there are a whole raft of new items coming out in
the near future. G is good for streaming around the house but if you
just use the 'net then B is already faster than any broadband
connection. Streaming media is the next big thing and there are signs
that you'll need to provide multiple access points, depending on what
you're streaming, using non-overlapping wi-fi channels.
Then there are dsl modems and routers all-in-one plus the voip modems,
and I think there are voip modem/routers aios too. Just some stuff to
think about, but I'd spend 20 bucks on a B router for now, which is what
I did, and wait six months or a year to see what other options come out.
my 2 cents.
Happy Canada Day everyone! Canadian Mac users are doubly special! :)
