Concurrent wireless internet, wireless printing

[Gramps]

Hello All,
Found the site yesterday, nice job Tim. Been reading a lot since yesterday.

My goal is to be able to access the internet, and a wireless printer concurrently, i.e. without having to disconnect from the net to print to the printer, and vice-versa.

Presently have CATV modem, Belkin G Router, Dell laptop (Vista), Lenovo laptop (WIN7).

Intend to buy a new router (WR160N looks good) and a new wireless AiO printer (HP6500 looks good).

At this point, all I'm asking is; "can this be done"?

TIA

Absolutely doable. The main thing to watch for is whether your selected printer has Win 7 drivers. The wireless printer should act just like another client on the network and you should be able to connect to it and the Internet at the same time just fine.

Thank you Mr. Easy. Also appreciate the heads-up on the W7 drivers.
