Is it possible to make a wired router (SMC 7004BR) wireless with a wireless hub or something?

I need the dial-up internet port and the print server on the SMC 7004BR but I would like to be able to connect directly to it from my laptop in the other end of the house without wires.

Can this be done by connecting the router to a wireless hub or something?

Thanks folks.

You can plug a Wireless Access Port (WAP) into your router.

I use an ABR mode with an Orinoco RG-1100 (flashed into an AP-500) so Mrs. Tallgeese has wireless access at the far end of the house.

Works like a champ.

Any AP or wireless router should work. You may need to put it in "bridge" mode (terminology varies between vendors)

How do I setup the wireless router/computers to send the 'print' to the print server function of the other router?

Does the 'print message' just pass through the wireless router from the computer to the router with the print server?

Yes, just use the same IP for printing that you use now.
