Router for PC and MACs?

[DPK]

I need a wireless router that can connect to both PC's and Macs? Can I just get a new model from Linksys or Net Gear and expect it to work or do I need to look for certain specifications?

Edit: I forgot to mention, but I want to enable WEP security and be able to connect with the MAC.

I use a Linksys with my Powerbook. I've used WEP and WPA.

It's Mac, unless you mean Media Access Control or Mandatory Access Control.

they use the same protocols in order for you to get on the internet

TCP/IP is standard across all OSes (excluding some odd interpretations of RFCs).

From the weakest to the strongest, Wireless security strength is.
No Security
MAC
WEP
WPA-PSK
WPA-AES
WPA2

The documentation of your Wireless devices (Wireless Router, and Wireless Computers Card) should state the type of security that is available with your Wireless hardware.

All devices MUST be set to the same security level using the same pass phrase.

Therefore the security must be set according what ever is the best possible of one of the Wireless devices.

I.e. even if most of your system might be capable to be configured to the max. with WPA2, but one device is only capable to be configured to max . of WEP, to whole system must be configured to WEP.
If you need more good security and one device (like a Wireless card that can do WEP only) is holding better security for the whole Network, replace the device with a better one.
