I have a non-wireless printer, can I link this device my wireless router (in another room) and then connect this device to my printer by USB/ethernet?

Yes you can. You just need to follow the quick setup manual that comes with the device. It's pretty straight forward to set things up. Use the ethernet cable that comes with the device to connect your non-wireless printer to this device.

This device plugs into an ethernet port on your router and your usb printer plugs into it. As long as the router it's plugged into is wireless also, all wired and wireless devices can locate and print from it. It works great for us.

This printer is not a wireless printer. You have to connect it directly to a router (with Ethernet cable) and the router can send out the wireless signal.

Hi D. Ambrose,If you have a wireless printer, you can connect it to it as you would any other wireless device and print. If it's not a wireless printer, then no. We hope this helps!

No, this is not a wireless printer. You can purchase 3rd party wireless adapter and make it so, but by default it must be physically connected to a computer or router.

You can set up a wireless printer with this router, I have two set up wirless WIFI with this router. Your question on USB is confusing as that indicates a wire hookup to your computer or some such to the printer. That is not wireless. You can set up a wireless printer with this router provided the signal from the router is available at the location of the printer.

If you lack a wireless router you can connect the printer to your computer with a USB cable, or to a wired network with an Ethernet cable. And, of course, it supports the earlier wireless "B" and "G" standards if you have an older wireless router which doesn't support "N".

No, this is a device intended to share mass storage units, Most printers today either can be connected by Ethernet or WiFi (or both), or if you have to share an older printer that doesn't allow sharing, you can connect an old printer to a printer sharing device.

Yes. You do have to connect the printer directly to the router or modem and be on the same network. Or connect the printer to the network.

Yes you can, mine worked best with the USB cable. I got rid of the printer completely because the internal wi-fi card went bad.

If your printer is going to be located near your computer it doesn't matter if the router is wired or wireless. However if the printer is located away from your computer , as mine is, you need a wireless router.

No. This is NOT a wireless printer. Be prepared to put this printer near your router because it must be connected to your wireless router via Ethernet cable before you can print from mobile devices.

Yes, you can. You will have to set up your printer on your wireless network first. The printer itself does not have wireless, but if you connect it to your wireless network (via ethernet cord), your laptop will be able to see it while on the network.

You need a router with USB port and printer capable or USB printer to Wifi adapter.Read http://www.ricksdailytips.com/convert-usb-printer-to-wireless/

No, you'd only need an ethernet cable to connect physically to your router/switch/access point. If you're using wireless, it will find your router during printer setup. No cable necessary...
