My roommate is getting a new apartment and wants me to set up his network for him. There will be two PCs, an Xbox 360, and a Macbook pro.
He's leaning towards the Airport Extreme because he has had real issues with the wireless here (Macbook and linksys wireless do not like to play together and I can't figure out why). I am totally unfamiliar with Mac networking products.
My question is, has anyone here got experience hooking a PC to an Airport Extreme (via ethernet cable)? How difficult was it? Also, does it work with the DS and PSP?

They should be fine. The only problem with wireless connectivity and security is WPA. If you don't use WPA, you shouldn't have any problems with, well, any router. The actual wireless protocols are standard, and compatibility usually hinges on the security model utilized by the router more than any other reason.

You might need some drivers (I did for my Airport Express) but it otherwise operates exactly like a normal router, but with a much nicer interface.

It's a solid piece of kit.
