My friend has just got a MAC and his router and modem are on a windows- would a regular adapter work and most importantly will the MAC pick up the signal from the router to get connection

Yes a MAC can get on a wireless network just the same as a PC.
How is a router on Windows, a router doesn't really have an O/S? A router just broadcasts the signal from the modem.

If you are just connecting to his computer or connecting to a router for internet? If you are just connecting to the router, then it should just pick up the signal and be fine. If not, then you may have to set up a network.

the "internet" isn't a "domicile windows" community. purely given which you're actually not making use of an Airbase does no longer propose your mac won't artwork. instant N and instant A,B,G are instant standards, no longer apple or Window standards. you are able to hook any instant adapater as much as any properly matched instant base station irregardless of Operation device..

Yes, but if you are using WEP, you must enter the key in hexadecimal on the Mac

yes. Macs have Samba, which allow also access to windows file and print services - and it is almost transparent to the user.

wireless is wireless, and the wireless router is not "platform specific"
