Wireless Router Woes

My husband and I recently purchased our first home. Which meant that once we moved in, we had to figure out what our setup would be in terms of computers. We have two laptops and a desktop. Now the laptops aren't a problem because they can go anywhere once we have the wireless router in place. But we have run into a small problem with our wireless router that I understand happens to a lot of people. I have a Mac and it is not compatible 100% of the time with our current router. So there are days when I come home and all I want to do is go on Facebook and laugh at pictures and set the language to Pirate English and have fun. Just to ruin my fun though, sometimes my Mac refuses to recognize that we have Internet and that it comes through the air through the wireless router.

So we've been playing with the idea of getting Mac's wireless router so that I have uninterrupted Internet bliss whenever I want. The only problem is that the wireless router made by Mac, like all things Mac-related, is expensive. More so than the router we already own that works fine on the other two computers. So how do I justify making a purchase for something we already own that just sometimes needs to be restarted so I can enjoy the Internet? Would you consider this worth purchasing?

It would be easier to decide if Mac gave repeat buyers some sort of discount (unless there's one I don't know about) since so many people who own one Mac product own like 239235928523985 others of them too. Yes I am guilty of the Mac craze as well and have been included in that outrageously inflated number. So we will see. We haven't decided yet what to do since the problem is random and some days are better than others. But just imagine how frustrating it is to only want to get on the Internet on YOUR computer (the other two in the house are technically my husband's) and be brutally blocked by the simple fact that your computer hates that the wireless router was not produced in the Promised Land of Apple.
