Hello

I have an iMac that has the airport built in, can I use any wireless router to connect to the internet or do I have to use a mac airbase station?

I have 3mb broadband from NTL through a samsung box - if I can use any is it a case of plugging the router into the back of the box where the ethernet cable is and then rebooting it so the box finds a new mac address and then doing the usual registering?

Just thought I would check as I share the connection between my pc and my mac and the wires are getting a little cluttered!

Thanks in advance
