How to Get a Wireless Router\USB Printer Server Setup for Under $25

Robert Falden
There are many people who want to know how they can have a wireless router/USB print server setup. A wireless router/USB print server setup will allow you to hook up your USB printer to your wireless router. In turn, this would allow any computer connected to your router to be able to print documents from their computer. This eliminates the need to hook each and every computer up to the printer every time you want to print a document from a different computer. It also eliminates the need to buy a more expensive Wi-Fi printer, or it can serve as a fix if the Wi-Fi feature on the printer stops working.

To get started you can simply find the cheapest wireless router that has a USB port. If you search on E-Bay then you should not be paying more than $20 for a Westell Verizon wireless router. Next you are going to need a USB 2.0 Hub. This will give you more USB slots other than the one that is on the Westell Verizon wireless router. These parts alone won't have the ability to make a wireless router/USB print server setup. You will need to follow some instructions that should take less than 15 minutes.

You will need to visit the Lemonade: All-In-One site to get the instructions you need. This will give you some simple instructions that will allow you to enable USB printer server, USB disk sharing, UPnP media server, and wireless switch mode on your Westell Verizon wireless router. It sounds too good to be true because you probably would only have to spend about $25 to get the whole wireless router/USB print server setup. However, it is true and the extra features are amazing.

You will be able to use the USB print server to print from any computer connected to the wireless router. You will be able to stream music and movies to your PS3 through the UPnP media server. You will also be able to have a network drive that is independent of any of the computers that will be connected to your wireless network via USB disk sharing.
