I am not sure where I got it. I buy computer supplies and equipment from only a handful of places: Staples, Future Shop (Canadian company owned by Best Buy), the Source (Canadian version of Radio Shack but owned by Circuit City), Factory Direct (factorydirect.ca) and Canada Computers. I think that it was either Staples or Factory Direct, but can't remember. You can find lots of print servers online.
Mine looks like this: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1652227,00.asp This is a newer version of mine: http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?event=viewProduct&localeCode=EN_USA&cid=5&scid=109&pid=1511 Here is a review of SMC, plus the unfavorable one in pcmag above: http://www.smallbusinesscomputing.com/testdrive/article.php/3299911 I checked the Factory Direct website and they have three for sale, two by NetGear and one by LinkSys. I checked Staples (Canada only as I need to input a zip code to search US) and found they carry D-Link. But Factory Direct's prices were way better. I paid under $20 for mine (on clearance), but they are going for $35 - $150 today with Factory Direct being at the bottom end. At the top end you get lots of bells and whistles such as G support, lots of ports and routers with print servers, etc. Mine is very basic, but does what I want it to. Much of the market is directed towards business or SOHO. Prices seem higher than I remember because they have added lots to them. I checked eBay and they had some inexpensive ones.

I don't actually use the wireless capability as I prefer wired connections for speed and stability. It has one ethernet port and one usb port plus the wireless. Usb is for the printer. I have not actually tried the wireless connectivity because the ethernet works and I prefer it. Roy Thanks again, Roy. I will see if I can find a stateside supplier. I don't know what the duty is from Canada anymore (haven't been to Sudbury in quite awhile}. If you can supply anymore info I sure would appreciate it.
