Netgear WGPS606 Wireless G Print Server
Would you and the other users in your network like the freedom to print wirelessly?
And, to connect to more than one printer, without having to add print servers,
wireless adapters, or unsightly Ethernet cables? With Netgear's 54 Mbps Wireless
Print Server with 4-Port Switch, now you can! In seconds, you can connect two
printers and four PCs to your wireless network - all with one simple device.
Netgear's 54 Mbps Wireless Print Server has two USB ports, as well as a wireless
Ethernet bridge mode with a 4-port switch. That means you can connect your computer
to your high-end color printer for your business use, and send the kids' documents
to your older Inkjet printer - all without wires! Best of all, more than four
users can use the printer, without adding any additional wireless adapters.

Fairly easy to set up, although needed to get help with 're-naming' IP address numbers to match everything with my wireless router. Performs well. With all-in-one printer, you need USB to scan back to computer, it seems.

I have a three computer home wireless network. Setup was relatively easy after I found out the print server could not find a WPA-PSK 2 security setting changed to WPA and problem went away. All computers can see the print server and print remotely--great product
May be difficult to set up

Although the CD install prompts through the set-up, it seemed too easy, and was. Once completed on the first PC, the test page printed fine. When I tried to set up the 2nd PC, I couldn't get it to print. I went back to the first PC and found it no longer printed either. After 1.5hrs, I relented to walk away and come back later.
Good product

Install was a snap on my PC but was a little challenging on my MAC. Here's the link to set it up for a MAC http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/201/kw/Netgear%20WGPS606%20Wireless%20G%20Print%20Server/r_id/100109.
The only thing that I didn't like on this product is that any driver software that you have installed on your MAC will not show up using this print server. It will show you printing to an IP address and that's it. If you can get over that then you'll be pleased.
Good Solution for DirecTV connection

I configured this unit to act as a simple print server and then hooked it my HD DirecTV receiver to download programs on demand and to replace my land line connection that I have since cancelled. Worked fine.
