If you mean a network hard drive and a printer with a built-in network interface, then any decent router should work. Or are you looking for a router with a built-in print server and USB interface?

You might want to consider getting a FON router, especially if you travel a bit. FON is a "social networking" company that is building a global WiFi community. Becoming a "Fonero" allows you to use their global WiFi network for free.
For about US$30.00, plus shipping, they sell a wireless router that you can use in three different ways. From their site, "There are actually three types of Fonero: Most of us are Linuses. That means that we share our WiFi at home and in return get free WiFi wherever we find a FON Access Point. Aliens are people who don’t share their WiFi yet. We charge them just €/$ 3 for a Day Pass to access the FON Community. Bills are in business and so want to make some money from their WiFi. Instead of free roaming, they get a 50% share of the money that Aliens pay to access the Community through their FON Access Point. They can also advertise their business on their personalized FON Access Point homepage. " I saw their CEO speak at a conference which I organized and became a "disciple." Check it out at www.fon.com Don't worry, I just like the company. No affiliation at all... fduvall |

Am I right? Is there no way to use an existing Router? |
