Q: I was thinking about bringing my wife with a wireless setup on her laptop, but she was still on the hook to her printer.
I guess I could connect a wireless USB connection, but that would more hardware.
Re:Recently it seems that a lot of posts going over the board asserting swiping negative statement based on singular units. I guess it is the time of the year when college students buy thier stuff and try to make it working.
LOL!!
Mine is at least semi- empirical data, but worth exactly my asking price:P
Re:The Siemens 2624 is an excellent product for the price, 5dbi removable Antenna, printer server, and a very flexible NAT-Firewall.
The only small annoyance is concerning MAC filtering you have to use IPs.

Re:I have tried a few router/print server combos, and the print server part is not exactly up to par with a dedicated print server. Just my two cents, but I would leave one computer on and connected to the printer before using one of those.
If you can find a jetdirect ex plus or newer for a reasonable amount, I would go that route, especially if the print function needed to be seamless and trouble free.
EDIT: of course, an old jetdirect will not have USB support:o
Re:"The Siemens seems to have some issues"
Really? Do tell. Been running on for well a year and never had a problem with it. I don't think the Speedstream SOHO devices are any more prone to issues than any other cheap off the shelf Router or AP. These are 100 dollars or less devices. I wouldn't judge a piece of hardware off a few forum posts but if you are, then suffice to say I fully endorse and recommend the 2624, either as a router or 11 Mb AP.

I've been wondering this same exact question…
*edit*
Are there any besides these two? The Siemens seems to have some issues, and the Asus is pretty pricey.

Re:I have siemens speedstream 2624 and it works great.
Re:this i a great wireless router with both lpt and usb print server support. I have reviewed it for a norwegian webpage and gave it 9/10. D-Link 624 got 7/10, Linksys WRT-54g 8/10 and SMC 2804WBR 7/10.
