OSX - recommendation for router

Hi

Can anyone recommend a broadband router which can manage wireless/ wired, sort out Mac cloning (need to find out about this), and deal with L2TP - which will work with OS X? I'm looking at a D-Link DI-824VUP which seems to fit the bill, but I'm not sure. Any input would be appreciated!

Thanks
Bill

I use a Linksys WRT54G and two of my pc's are running Tiger...
allows mac cloning, and also supports VPN passthrough

Have a look in the articles sections for router recommendations.

I use a Linksys WRT54G and it works very nicely with my Powerbook running Panther.

Re: OSX - recommendation for router

The protocols used to enable communication between wireless routers and wireless network cards are defined international standards. Therefore, any routers should work with the Airport (equivalent to a 802.11b network card) and Airport express (equivalent to an 802.11g network card) cards.


One thing I found though, When I was first using Wireless security, I used WEP (as that was all Windows could use) and could never get it working on the Mac.

As soon as I could, I switched to WPA, and that works brilliantly on both.
