I got a Asus WL-520GU router when it was cheap, and set up wireless printing at home over the summer.
Now that I'm moving into residence, I'm taking the router with me and using a different router at home.
My brother is staying at home though, and he needs the wireless printing.
So I'm wondering if there's any good deals on print servers?
The ones that connect to a LAN port on a router on one end, and connects to the USB port of a printer on the other end.
Or are there good deals for the Asus WL-520GU these days? Might just get another one.
Please let me know, thanks.

another Asus WL-520GU with tomato firmware will be even better. I have WL520GU as well as running tomato firmware on it. With tomato, you can do multiple NAS and printers at the same time with a usb hub.

http://www.shopbot.ca/pp-asus-wl-520gu-asus-price-99306.html Have a look at the link. I feel its cheap if I do the exchange rate calculation of Canadian Dollar vs Indian Rupee. I dont know about the seller but prices are definitely competetive. I wud ve bought this if it wud ve been available in India.

The only problem with using a Asus WL-520GU is that my home network is currently N, and every comp can use it. I really don't want to go back down to G...
So what's the best way to set up wireless printing that's router-independent? -
you will always need a router.

Edit : Just check for the compatibility of your printer before buying, its good to check the return policy before buying. -
I just got a D-LINK DP-301U off ebay for $25, I'll see how that works out.
Thanks for the suggestions though!
