I'm looking to get a new router because I need a little more range than my old g speed one gives me.
In addition, I am probably going to network a mac with a PC forcing me to put my printer on a print server. I just now realized that it may be possible to do both those jobs w/ the same piece of equipment. Which one do you suggest? Is the Apple Airport Extreme a good way to go? Extreme at BB |

i say go for it. other routers have built in print servers. i don't see anything wrong with the one you listed Is there a cheaper way to go? This one was rated high by cnet.com. It has a USB, but I'm not sure if it will act as a print server. other one |

Or just hook your printer up to any computer and enable printer sharing and any computer within your LAN can print to it. No need to buy a special router. Unless he is running 2 laptops and doesnt want to tether one to a printer. 
I am looking at the same router for a mac/pc combination also. The price isnt much more than a new router + separate print server. If you get it, post a AAR of how it works. |
