[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1240839, member: 56379"] Wow...thanks a lot for that info. I always find setting up routers to be a BIGGG headache...especially since few if any of the setup "Wizards" (good or bad) are written for Mac's...so you have to do it manually. I can't say how many hours I've "fooled" around with hardware products in the past trying to set up a networked printer via a "network bridge" or "printer server" products...with no success. The best I've done is the Mac's can "see" the printer...but no printing (just times out). Of course the Windows computers in the house can print no problem!:P Sounds like the setting up of a networked printer (via the DIR-655's USB port) is doable for more knowledgeable (or patient folks)...but the same big headache for the average (I just want it to work) user.;) Thanks again, - Nick [/QUOTE]
