Hi , I'm still on a bit of a learning curve and I wish to create a home network .
With my current hardware below.
-Compaq 6720s lap top with WiFi
-Lacie 1Tb (usb) external hard drive
-Canon MP520 printer. (Which has the capacity to insert a Blue-tooth Unit BU-20* into the direct print port.)
And I am thinking of buying a Linksy's WRT310N Wireless-N Gigabit Router.
My question is what other hardware is required to setup a safe wireless network ?
I wish to be able to have fully functional wireless access – to both the the printer and external hard drive.
And I don't have a PC as a base station .
Is there a wireless server etc – that I can connect them to the network with ?
I could be wrong but most modem/routers don't seem to have the capability to simply do this job on there own!
Any help would be very much appreciated
