You might have very limited selection in which devices will work with
the MACs, but I suspect apple sells some if nothing else.

I went with an Asus wifi router for home.  Sure runs a lot cooler than
linksys gear does, and it's faster too, just in case I ever decide to
replace the firmware on it.  Oh and the ram and flash is twice the size
of most of the linksys boxes.

Of course personally, I prefer things to work so wireless would be my
last choice for connectivity.
