    100 Foot Cable from Router to Desktop ... ???

    Help -- Which Router ... ???

    I'm seriously considering the DIR-825 router .... which is compatible with Tiger. The range on this router looks good, well over 200 feet, which is much farther than we require.

    Help -- Which Router ... ???

    Sounds like a cool idea! I don't think we need directional antennas though. We only need to connect computers in our home. The farthest distance would be in the far bedroom, about 30 feet, and the living room, about 25 feet. Also, there are computers in too many directions (six computers in all).

    Help -- Which Router ... ???

    The Airport Extreme router looks awesome! But ... We have several older computers, and the router requires OSX 10.5.7 or later, so the Airport Extreme router won't work for us.

    Which Internal HD for my iBook G4 ... ???

    I haven't been able to find anything faster than 5400rpm either. I think the problem with heat would be less with the slower drives though, which is a good thing. My iBook runs quite warm! I keep a good fan blowing on the laptop (sitting on an iCurve). The fan also blows on the external drive...
