One caveat for anyone who buys Linksys for wi-fi on a mac (well, two things actually) - there is no mac set-up guide so you need to fiddle about manually with stuff to get it to work. It's only set-up for the PC and there's no mac software with it.
You sure? The only setting I had to change to get WiFi working on the iBook I use was to disable WEP.

Also, to get BitTorrent working properly you need to fiddle about with the port settings - not a problem if you know what you're doing, but could daunt a newbie.
I think that is fairly standard on a router with Firewall. A good firewall will ship with all ports closed, leaving the user to open those which they need.
