Wayne, Airport is just Apple's brand name for their own wireless router. IIRC it does have a couple of extra bells and whistles for integrating with iTunes and Apple TV but in essence it's just a router, and you don't need it so long as you already have one. Apple has been implementing standards-compliant wired and wireless networking for donkey's years.
