Wireless networked printer
Hello all,
I have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router connected to a cable modem in my living room. An Xbox and Vonage adapter are connnected to the router via ethernet cable. In bedroom #1 is a PC (Win XP) connected to the router via AT&T wireless adapter. In bedroom #2 is a laptop (Win XP Pro) connected to the router via built in wireless card. Also, in bedroom #2 is a Brother MFC-3820cn printer. It is not hooked up at this time and has never been installed as a printer on either machine. I want the printer to be a stand alone device on the network. ( Not hard wired to a computer). The printer has an ethernet port that is available to use. I also have a spare Linksys wireless router (WRT54G) that I am not currently using. And a Linksys WUSB11 that is available to use. The WUSB11 has a USB connection. What is the easiest/most cost-effective way for the both computers to share this printer? Thanks Robin |

I would say hook it right to the router you are currently using if it has an available port. If not use the second router and just set it up as an access point for your existing wireless network and put the printer on that. -- Dave Vair CNE, CNA, MCP, A+, N+ "billy bob" wrote in message ...
