[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1005258, member: 56379"] Hello folks. Sadly my networking expertise is not nearly as good as my Macintosh computer knowledge...or maybe what I want to do is a bit unusual. I have a USB laser printer that I would like to include in my home wireless network. I have a cable modem & wireless router in my basement...and the router does have a network password to login. What I want to do (I think that it can be done) is use an older "cone-shaped" Airport Extreme "g" Base Station as a wireless network bridge or network repeater (hopefully one of those is the correct terminology)...plug my USB printer into it...and then have the printer on the 1st floor of my home (instead of the basement) for wireless printing.

If I forgot to include any important or critical info...please let me know. Thanks, - Nick [/QUOTE]
