My friend’s home broadband from Comcast (cable modem) is the starting point for his wifi. He has a netgear wireless router. His daughter has a Mac laptop and she made him go out and buy an airport years ago the old white round model for her to get the wifi.
I said that I thought he did not need one or the other for any of their PCs or Macs to receive the wifi. Who was right?
Can a PC easily receive wifi from an airport and vs. versa a Mac receive wifi from a non apple brand wifi router?

yes, of course it will.
any standard wifi router will work with macs, pcs, iphones or android
devices, whether it's apple or some other brand. there is no need for
an apple airport just for apple products.

I've been using an old Linksys router for years and years and numerous
Macs have connected to it wirelessly with no problems, including the two
Macs I use currently, one of which I'm using as I type this.
My current provider happens to be Comcast, by the way.

an apple airport router works exactly like any other wifi router as far
as the user is concerned. in fact, a user can't tell what type of wifi
router is being used (unless they know what to look for and most don't,
and even then they might not be able to identify it). it doesn't matter
if it's mac, pc, android, iphone or something else.
