For instance when I signed up with Virgin 20Mbit broadband I got a basic Netgear cable router which has 54 Meg wireless on it and it does the job fine. However I could if I choose to replace this with a faster router which supports the Wireless N which IIRC is about 270MBit (although I doubt I'd get that sort of speed and I'd have to upgrade the wireless adaptor on my notebook).
What router did you get from your ISP? With regards to making your wired printer wireless, I presume it connects via USB? You may find that some models of printer have optional wireless adaptors (I found a HP one which appears to be specifically for HP printers at about £25 doing a Google search). Another option may be this Belkin wireless print server at about £45 - *http://tinyurl.com/rbvr8o Rob * -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
