sorry am a n00b ~ I just wanna get a really good one the first time around hehe.

The airport will most likely have NO efect on your wireless.
Unless they have some monster radar sweeping your new place very few seconds.
In that case you might have more to worry about than your wireless connection, lol.

And I agree with Swimmer on buying a seperate modem and router.
That's putting all your eggs in one basket, which is not always the best idea.
Buy them seperate.

And btw, Welcome to the forum, and tell your friends.

Sounds like a good combo to me.
And, as far as I know, Cox will only provide the network equipment if you choose their wireless home networking service (9.95/month, I think).
Otherwise, you need to get your own.
I would call them and verify, though. They may sell them now.
They do sell new modems for $59 where I live.
That is for a Motorola 5120, and thats cheaper than the stores.
