iOS and iPad wireless

Hi,

Does anyone know of any routers that can be used with an iPad without needing a PC to do setup, i.e. straight out of the box?
I have an iPad and a 30Mbps cable modem connection but no laptop or desktop.
The last time I connected, I had to buy an old Thinkpad for the sole purpose of setting up the Dlink DIR-850L router I was using.
I've seen an add for the Skiva Cloud easy/cheap solution but am wondering if there is anything better, especially something with USB storage access.

Thanks,
Jim J.

I thought all current Asus, Netgear and Linksys routers can be setup with a tablet?

All that is really needed is a web browser.

I use an ASUS router (RT-N66U) that can be setup with an ipad, but I haven't figured out how to update the routers firmware with an ipad, so that would definitely be a problem.

Linksys routers with smart wifi firmware cannot be setup with an ipad. But you can update the router's firmware using an ipad.
