hi, i'm working in an office. we have 4 macs and one network printer. my boss mac is the new ibook G4. he want to get an airport base station so he won't need to connect it to line.
now today all the computers & printer are connected to a hub. there is also a cable modem connected to the hub.
is it possible to connect an airport extreme to that hub and use it with the G4 to surf the web and on the network? or do i need the airport express or a router?

You need a wireless router to connect to the Hub. You really should have the other machines connected to a router rather than a hub. Replace the hub with a wireless router and you're all set.
