Bob:  I use Apple's "Airport Extreme" for my home network (very  
simple -- 1 Intel iMac, 1 G4-400 desktop, hp laser printer, hp  
PhotoPrinter, three external HD, one scanner.)

The Airport network is **very** reliable -- basicallly, it has never  
hiccupped!  About 100 percent of the troubles I have are application  
software problems.

It took me about 15 minutes to set up the airport network.

Note:  Airport Extreme cards are pretty cheap.  For my old G4 I had  
to get the older Airport card, which was hard to find and cost  
something like $150.  Airport Extreme is much faster than the old  
Airport system.

Good luck!
