Your WiFi is password protected, right?

:wave: I have a Windows PC with ethernet connection to router. The router is also wireless. My Windows netbook connects thru and networks (Homegroup) thru the PC. If I get a wireless Mac laptop, can I use the current router without networking thru the PC? Or, do I need an Airport router connected to the other router?

Is a happy mixed (Windows and Mac) marriage possible? :D

Any wireless router that complies with the 802.11g, 802.11b or 802.11ncstandard will be compatible with your MacBook.
 
Any normal routers should work just fine. I have a $15 Compusa router that works fine. It's upgraded with the latest Edimax ROM, since it's manufactured by Edimax.
