    I'm using a BT Voyager 2110. Works fine for both Macs and PCs. Not sure they sell them anymore but I doubt a newer model would be any different.

    I have a mac running Leopard....Wireless worked fine on Tiger (Zyxel router) but since the upgrade I can only stay connected using no security and hiding my SSID. Might be worth a try on the netgear.

    Best router for Mac.... hmm I'm gonna guess Apple Airport Extreme :D

    From personal experience stay away from Linksys. Have released some dreadful routers in particular the WAG 54G. I am using Belkin which has a lifetime warranty - in fact it packed in after about 2 years and they couriered out as new one straight away.

    As pointed out above Mac users should think twice before buying any Linksys router. I have one and it caused some issues with certain MacBooks running Tiger. I had a workaround for it but users who had worse prolems found neither Apple nor Linksys too receptive to fixing the problem. I still see an occasional issue under Leopard.
