New Router

Powergeek*_* · 07-07-2008, 10:24 PM

I just purchased a new samsung Q1 (

) and I am now looking to set up a more complex network. I need to be able to connect 1 wifi computer, 1 wired computer (in office next to printer), a usb printer, NAS and while doing this also be able to connect to my network via VPN when I am gone. I would like to be able to do all of these things with one device

Does any one know of a router that would be able to do this?

And also, would I be able to connect a USB hard drive to any USB print server?

Thanks!

You can't do all those with one device, at least not that I know of. You can have a device provide both wired and wireless network access, you would then need a separate NAS, and I'm not sure how many of those devices also function as a USB print server, so you would need a separate device for that.

Ok, as I do my research I have found that NAS will connect to any router with RJ45 so that is already answered. Now is there a device that is a: print server/wifi router/VPN?

I know I can get some sort of device that would adleast take care of two or three of these. Now the question is can I plug in a usb hard drive to a usb print server to use as NAS?

Theres no way I would spend that much money on that when I could just build a whole new server for less!!!!(but thanks sho95)
