  Wi-Fi Access without the Router

  If you have a Mac with Wi-Fi access in addition to your wireless modem, you can make it a hot spot without any additional equipment required. Just share your connection: go to system preferences/sharing/internet and activate the Airport checkbox. You can choose 40 or 128 security, set up passwords, etc.

  Sounds expensive to me!

  Sounds expensive to me! I have a modem with router (LAN and WLAN) that cost alot less than that. The only difference is, of course, that my system is fixed, not portable.

  MAc OSX Airport

  Kevin,
  Are you an expert on Airport?
  I have my Mac OSX Intel, and I am trying to set up airport as both the router and to play wifi music in the lounge. It seems happy to do one or the other but not both at once. I'm thinking it is only a setting somewhere I am missing. What do you think?
  
  Regards
  Audrie
