Hi. I recentlly purchased a notebook and I am looking forward to install a wireless network at home. At the moment, I have only one notebook (not supporting 802.11N type network), but this may chance in the future.

I am looking for a router that would allow me to have a wired and a wireless network. Also, I am looking for a router that would act as a print server (planning on plugging a USB HP printer) AND as a storage server (usb hard drive). I could easily find print server models, storage server models, but not a router that could do BOTH. Furthermore, I am worried about limited drivers in those routeurs (I've read post about router(s) would not recognized some printers / harddrive).

I've heard about adding DD-WRT custom firmware into a router, and I think that would allow me to do what I want with a two usb port router (adding my drivers to the router), but I am not quite sure.

So, I was wondering if any of you have any experience with that kind of router and could help me out finding which model(s) could do that kind of stuff.

Thank you
