Yes the advantage is that you can print to it w/o any other computer being connected to the printer. That means that there does not need to be a computer plugged in/turned on for the printer to work. Many routers/cable modems have USB connectors but they are only for network connection, not

I don't think any other mfr. has a router that will let you print to a USB printer connected to the router like the airport extreme. If there is, I'd like to know. that's my concern as well. I'll be purchasing a wireless station in the next few weeks, but I haven't had time to do much research.

I have a US Robotics router and a "gulp" Microsoft wireless card that I use for WS II. I had to pay a little more for the 3rd party driver to work the MS card, but I was still $30 cheaper than an airport that won't work in my system anyway. The router has a 108Mb capability and was only $40 aft
