Router

[jcrosby]

Does any one know of a good router that has wireless and wired capabilities? Also one that has a built in print server. Will it allow me to have file and internet sharing?

Would help if you could expand on your requirements as there would be far too many options for what you seek. Specifically, wireless protocol or speed that you need and the type of printer you will be attaching
For example
This - http://www.netgear.com/products/prod...odID=220&view= is an 802.11g router (54mbps) with a USB print server
while this - http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=39 is an 802.11b router with an LPT print server.

I'm not sure. I will be using usb printer. What I want is to go broadband to router router, to desktop pc one and two (wired) and a laptop wirless. All with file, internet, and print sharing. As fast as possiable under $200

that should be simple:
wireless router with 5 port switch
wireless card for laptop
share printer from system it will be connected to

The only caveat would be having to keep the master system on whenever any other computer needs to print.
Given your requirements, I'd say you have 3 routes you could take
a) leave a computer on per Bailey's suggestion
b) Go for a 2 piece solution (advantage - speed/disadvantage - cost)-
Buy something like a Dlink 624 (108mbps) router
add on another wired-print server
c) Go for a 1 piece solution (advantage cost/disadvantage - speed)
for example - 802.11g (54mbps) routers from Dlink with parallel and USB print servers are about $209*

Whereas the aforementioned Netgear are available for as low as $169.99*
