It is an SMC7004ABR, but I don't know if they are made any more. The 7004 series went on with the SMC7004VBR and SMC7004WBR I don't think the VBR is any good to you, but the WBR is probably closest to what you are looking for, if you can still get one... There is a new range of routers from SMC, but AFAICS they have only RJ45 ethernet ports- nothing else. > Also, if you know whether it is still available, where from and how > much.

For example for WiFi you can plug an A/P into a LAN port on the router, and for printing you could buy an ethernet print server, or wireless print server. Also, I wouldn't attach a hard drive to the router, instead you could buy a cheap NAS or build a small server. On the one hand it's neat to have everything in one box, but on the other, it's good to have some degree of diversity and redundancy. HTH, Andrew
