"Any 802.11b AP should work" is technically true but terribly misleading - if you want to have decent power usage on these phones you will want to use the TMo AP, or at least be able to support uAPSD / set your DTIM interval etc to reasonable rates such that your WLAN radio isn't on all the time with your current AP - setting useful QoS and/or traffic shaping on your AP is also going to be needed to ensure reasonable voice quality on the WLAN link. If that last sentence has you wondering "WTF?", then you really want to just get the AP from TMo and plug it in.

he is saying that any router will work, but there are many benefits to use one of the 2 routers that t-mobile is offering. There router will save power, and has a auto connect function that makes it real easy for first connect

I am currently using it with the Actiontec wifi router from Qwest. Quality is not great. Do I need any software from T-mobile to tell my router how to work better? The phone sees the router wifi signal just fine.
