[X4U] Wireless router for set-top box

[Conlon Brett]

Hey Jim,

I bought a Topfield Masterpiece HD TRF-2400. You can either connect an  
external hard drive via USB and copy files to/from it using the built- 
in navigator or you can use the LAN port and connect your computer  
directly to it or connect a wireless router to it.

When I bought it I actually thought it had a wireless router inside it  
but had the derrrrr moment when I got it home (realised it just has  
the LAN port). Hence why I'm looking for a wireless router.

Will any cheap thing work (as long as it has sufficient strength)? It  
doesn't have to be Mac compatible for setup - I can boot into WinXP on  
Bootcamp for that - but our Macs have to be able to connect to it.

Ta,

Brett
