Need a wireless router with print server

[Tsaico]

I am in the market for a wireless router (or access point) with built in print server, I have read a few reveiws and it looks like there aren't many good choices as the review were mediocre at best. Here is what I want it for, I will be using it on a wireless and wired network, it can have either USB or parallel printer connection, and I would want it to be 802.11g. I already have a router I am happy with, so this one will most likely be used as a print server functions as a wireless access point for the house. The price range I am hoping to keep below $150ish, but for the better product I would still be interested in hearing about them if they are more (within reason). Do you guys have any suggestions?

Edit: I read another thread about the same questin, but there just brand names thrown out, I am looking for specific model suggestions...

What you plan to do won't work. The wireless router with print server has to be the active router or else the print server function won't work.

D-link.

Well, poop. Ok, thanks for the heads up. At least you solved that one. I think at this point, it would be better for me to get a seperate print server and just connect that to my current network, then just add my own WAP....

Why not just use the wireless router as the main router? They do have physical cable jacks as well y'know.

you can also setup a network printer. the only downside is .. the main computer connected to the printer has to be on if you want to print from other machines.

Well I just oredered one of these D-link extreme-G bundles (108 Mbps vs. the 54 Mbps a lot of the others have)...still waiting for it so I can't tell you how well it performs. Google-search for reviews maybe...

looks like only SMC, IOGear, Netgear offer integrated solution for 802.11g router and printer server.

u are looking at soho level stuff, all of these are OEM in taiwan.

Unless u have a budget for enterprise stuff, most soho stuff are about the same.
