MR814NA at best buy.

The MR314 supports ethertalk, so you can network between wireless and wired older macs hooked to that router just fine; IIRC the 814 does not support ethertalk although any appleshareIP traffic will work since that is IP based, unlike classic Appletalk. The question is, are your other macs that you wish to talk with, AppleshareIP servers or capable of AppleshareIP?

I have a TCP/IP network of macs and PCs and a laserwriter 16/600. Will I not be able to talk mac-mac over the network with the 814 ? I can never remember what Appletalk/ethertalk/appleshare differences are.


You can go Mac-Mac but it will have to be via IP. OS 9.0 and up can serve AppleShare-over-IP and many earlier versions can access AppleShare-over-IP as a client.

I don't think that LW will do IP though so you won't be able to print to it wirelessly.
