Mac's can connect to WiFi networks just like any PC since it's all based on the same technology. My iBook is connected to the internet through a normal Linksys Wireless router, and I've never had any problems. All you need to make it work is an Airport Extreme Card. If you have an iBook or PowerBook you might already have one. If you have a Mac mini, iMac, eMac or PowerMac than you'll most likely need to buy one separately. You can check to see if you already have one installed by opening System Profiler and looking for the words "Airport Card" in the list of hardware.
