I need some advice on wireless routers please, the issuesare as follows.
I have an excellent and reliable HP Laserjet 1020 USB printerthat I don't want to change. I want toprint to this wirelessly from two separate laptops.
The questions and issues are as follows:
I already have a separate Kodak Hero 7.1 colour printerconnected to my existing wireless router which is a Netgear N150 (suppliedthrough Orange broadband)
This router has an inadequate wireless range for my purposesand I am prepared to buy a higher spec router with a better wireless range. If I get a router with a USB input, can Isimply connect the HP Laserjet to it to enable wireless printing?
In addition, could I also connect an external hard drive tothis router to enable wireless connection to store photos etc and would this bevia one of the Ethernet ports on the router?
Would a dual band router be best?
Hoping someone can help. Thanks
