[G4] airport question

[Harry Freeman]

Greetings Margaret ( + )!( + )

I have been using an "Airlink 101" router for more than 2 years and it  
works just fine.
You should be able to find one on the internet at a reasonable price.
This is the one that I have:

However I got mine at Fry's on "Black Friday" for $9.95 I guess that I  
should have bought 2 or 3 of them.

If you have a local Fry's you, if you like to get up early on the day  
after Thanksgiving and stand in line at Fry's you might get a good  
deal like I did.

But be aware that setting up a Wireless Router is a bit complex and if  
not done correctly you may have everyone in your neighborhood  
connected to your "Wireless"

What I would recommend for you is to get either a "Wireless" or a "Non- 
wireless" router and then string an ethernet cable from your side of  
the "Duplex" to the other side and let your renter connect via the  
ethernet connection. That way you don't have to worry about others  
connecting without your knowledge or authorization.
