    Need WiFi with USB

    so my printer supports a wired connection...I think I might just move it next to the router and do it that way...the Wii will not always be connected. I now want one of the D-Link routers. Any thoughts?

    Need WiFi with USB

    Ok...I need some help. I am replacing a 5 year old Linksys portable router that is on it's last legs. We have two laptops with wireless N cards along with a Wii, PSP and a wifi enabled printer. I want a wireless router to replace the old one. I live in an apartment so range is not an issue...
