Same for friend of mine runinng wireless ISP in 60k people town. > Another unit I installed for a local business is a D-Link 713-P. I got it too and this is a very nice unit. The only problem is that many of them come broken. I had to replace my first one which did not work on arrival. Another solid unit I got is Linksys BEFW11S4 - never had problems with 2 units I got. The main difference between DI-713P and BEFW11S4 is not really the printer port but option of fixed DHCP IP assigment. DI-713P allows you to reserve given IP for given MAC. This is very useful if you want to keep your configs DHCP yet want to be able to run some servers as sshd or WWW on some computers on the local net. Example: 2 people share DSL. One runs sshd on port 22, the other on 9922. Then you set that the first always get IP1 through DHCP and then forwards trafifc to port 22 to IP1:22. You set IP2 for the 2nd MAC and forward traffic to 9922 to IP2:9922 This way both folks have sshd and both of them have DHCP addresses which is very convienent if you move your notebook quite a bit.
