If you want a 4 port router with a print server, the price on the D-Link DI-704P can't be beat. That way, you can take the printer off the computer and everyone can print to it without a "host" computer having to be on. The router actually has a parallel port.

D-Link is my second pick after Linksys, and Linksys doesn't have a router with a print server yet. SMC's costs more than the D-Link.

All routers sold for home use have NAT.

If you need more ports, you can uplink the router to your hub and use those ports too.
