Linksys WAG160N Mac compatible

[Mongrel]

Hello all
Quick question - looking to upgrade our frankly awful Edimax rrouter for something that can actually beam wifi through a wall. After looking at the PC Pro labs test they recommend the Linksys WAG160N.

Looks like it has great performance and is really reasonably priced. Just wanted to ask a quick question before splashing the cash.

I'll be wired in via ethernet with a Windows XP PC. My wife uses a Mac Powerbook which she wants to connect wirelessley with. In the specs, though, the Linksys says only Windows XP/Vista compatible.

I'm pretty sure it'll work for her Mac, but just wanted to check...

Don't see why it wouldn't, but will have a look for a compatability review.

I may have made bit of a schoolboy error here...
I went ahead and bought the Linksys WAG160N. Went to plug it in and errr - realised it was a cable router and I have TalkTalk coming through a BT line. ADSL (i think).
Can this be sovled with a mere cable, or am I gonna need to buy a new ADSL router.

Do you have a link to the exact product you bought, as it looks like an ADSL router to me?

Are you sure they sent you you the right one as it says its ADSL.
