LAN routers generally aren't governed by the type of computer they're attached to. They're not like printers or other hardware that need drivers. If you had trouble configuring it, it's the router or your ISP that has the problem. Actually I also have a Netgear LAN router. I clicked one button (the auto-setup button), waited about 20 seconds and everything was done. Not sure why you had issues.

I'm not the biggest fan of the mighty mouse, although the 360 scroll-ball is nice and the side buttons (albeit a bit sensitive) are so bloody useful with Exposé - to the point where I often find myself squeezing the sides of my mouse when I'm on my Windows Box and cursing because they're not there. I didn't actually realize until I bought one, that although it's a single solid unit, it actually has sensors that determine whether you pushed down the left or right side, and so can function just like an ordinary 2 button mouse.
