Wow.. just... wow. ]]>Apr 27th 2007 9:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/fon-router-used-in-diy-wireless-network-printer/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/fon-router-used-in-diy-wireless-network-printer/Apr 27th 2007 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/fon-router-used-in-diy-wireless-network-printer/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/fon-router-used-in-diy-wireless-network-printer/May 2nd 2007 9:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/fon-router-used-in-diy-wireless-network-printer/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/fon-router-used-in-diy-wireless-network-printer/
And the printer is not acting like a FON access point (which is what the write-up on Engadget said). Yes, you took a wireless bridge and hooked it up doing what its supposed to do. Yes, you mounted it inside the printer. Its not like you added a USB port to the FON router, or even anything that would require the least bit of skill. I'm sorry...]]>Apr 27th 2007 10:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/fon-router-used-in-diy-wireless-network-printer/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/fon-router-used-in-diy-wireless-network-printer/Apr 27th 2007 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/fon-router-used-in-diy-wireless-network-printer/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/fon-router-used-in-diy-wireless-network-printer/Apr 27th 2007 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/fon-router-used-in-diy-wireless-network-printer/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/fon-router-used-in-diy-wireless-network-printer/

You also have to factor in that the price of WiFi print servers is relatively high compared to WiFi routers due to the much smaller market for the items since it isn't especially more useful to have a printer be wireless rather than wired to the router or bridge. The cheapest means to make an Ethernet-ready printer wireless is to use a wireless router with a bridge mode. This is solely because the routers have vastly higher production values compared to bridges or print servers. So a decent router from any company will do the job cheap.]]>Apr 27th 2007 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/fon-router-used-in-diy-wireless-network-printer/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/fon-router-used-in-diy-wireless-network-printer/
I keep my old laserjet 4+ in the hallway, which is also an ideal place for my router... so I just plug it in there.

I've had basically the same setup as the article for years now, just a couple hundred dollars cheaper and a lot less effort..

This is just another one of those "fuck man, I totally hacked my macaroni and cheese with this ketchup" posts.]]>Apr 28th 2007 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/fon-router-used-in-diy-wireless-network-printer/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/fon-router-used-in-diy-wireless-network-printer/Apr 29th 2007 11:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/fon-router-used-in-diy-wireless-network-printer/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/27/fon-router-used-in-diy-wireless-network-printer/
Anyway, what I'd like to know is do you need two wireless pci cards in your pc? o0ne to communicate with the printer and one to access your Internet router kit? If not, how do you set up one WiFi card to do both?
