Will an Apple Airport router work better with my Macs?
It's not so much that AirPort routers will work "better", but I can guarantee that setup of AirPort routers when using Mac computers is much easier than other routers.  The AirPort Utility really makes setup a breeze!

This comes from years of experience as a network admin and having personally owned/used at least one of just about every major brand of home router.  If you can afford an AirPort router, you won't regret the purchase.
