[X4U] A bit confused about wireless...

[Matthew Barr]

For home, you can also use a non-apple base station.  Any current 
wireless router will work, (as long as it says 802.11b or 802.11g. )  
The only gotcha would be 802.11a.  There are very few of those. You 
could also look for anything that says Wi-Fi.  That would also work.
