Routers that print
Routers are doing it for themselves these days. Now you can connect printers directly to your router and turn off the computer you used to leave on just so that you could print over the network.

| Review summary | The Asus WL-500g's advanced features make it well suited for hobbyists, but its complexity and weak user docs make it a stretch for those new to networking. | Unless you need a router that can connect a Webcam to your network, there's little to recommend the NetPassage 26G. | Netgear's FWG114P is a great all-in-one device for those planning to set up a home office. | This is among the best compact wireless-networking devices available. |
