Re: [NTLK] Recommended setup for wireless network?

I would be careful. I had the same linksys router and
found out that for some reason it will not route
appletalk packets from the wired side to the wireless
side and vice versa. As a result, you would not be able
to print from the newton wirelessly to an appletalk
printer. I would suggest the WAP from Zoom. It even has
a print server built-in.
