Is the NIC intended for a server or can this be used for a wireless router?
Right now, the multi-function printer is not hooked up to any dedicated computer right now, and just hooked up to the wireless router. Just to note, I am unable to ping the IP address given by the network setup printout. Please help!

I doubt it had a print server built it, so plugging it into a router won't do anything. You probably need ot buy a print server.

What printer is it? Some printers can be plugged into a router for network printing.

it's one of those dell all-in-one's. no print server needed, i figured it out. i just wished their install guide was a lot better, it's really the pits.

If i want wireless printing i have to buy which kinda of router? i will have 3 computer in the house.

A simple wireless router will do. Then you can connect a wired print server to one of the router wired ports and that's it. Or, you can just connect the printer to one of the PCs, if you're OK with the fact that this PC will have to be on for the printer to operate.
Or you can find a wireless router with an integrated print server.
