I've been lurking here since October '06 and this is my first post. This place is a goldmine that I found about a month before I took delivery on my first ever Mac, a fully tricked out MPB that I'm lovin'.
The only problem I've had is accessing my HP 3600 All-in-one printer that's connected to a PC by USB. I recently switched to Verizon FIOS fiber optics and the router is an Actiontec M1424-WR with 4 Ethernet LAN ports available. It provides 802.11G, but I wonder if I plug an AirPort Base Station into one of the LAN ports I could use the USB connection on the Base Station to print to the HP 3600 from my MBP and maybe bump up the speed of the MBP to 802.11N as an additional plus.
If this is not the proper forum for this kind of esoteric question, I trust someone will let me know, but I want to hear what you guys have to offer since I feel more comfortable here than anywhere I else I could imagine.
