I use all 3 brands a lot. I have 4 macs at home, vortechs/radions, neptune controllers. I use the macbook pro to adjust the apex settings that controls the vortechs/radions via neptune wxm module. I am currently disassembling my macs to install solid state drives and maxing out ram. If you have a question about routers and macs, you can set the apple airport to literally ignore certain wifi routers. That is what I did at home. I have a router dedicated for my fish tank and I have all my macs ignore the router while doing the opposite with my iPhone. When I need to control the apex, I hook up the mac directly to the router to control it.
