Will this print server work?

Hi guys, I have recently set up a wireless network successfully with a Belkin FD7230UK4 and wish to expand!!

I found this cheap router on the net:

Would I be able to use this with my current configuration but as a print server only allowing me to plug my USB printer into it??

Any help is much appreciated.

It looks like it needs to be wired to your router which means your printer will have to be near your router.

The cheapest wireless print server I could find is this one. I got it last week and my printer is now sitting in a far flung corner of my house

if you get it, PM me about setting it up if you have any problems........

Hi Ramrod, the wireless part is not so important as my printers are close to the router.

Ideally, I would like the Belkin wireless one but money is a little tight.

Would the ebuyer cheapo one do the job as a print server alone or would this be incompatible with my hardware??

Thanks for you help

It will work fine by the looks of it. Just plug it in and configure and off you go

Thanks Zeph. About the "configure" part, what configuring would the router need.

Presumably, I would plug it into one of my LAN ports on my belkin so that it is given an IP but where would the other end be plugged into on the ebuyer router? WAN or LAN?
