I just got a 2Wire wireless dsl modem/router for my SBC Yahoo dsl. I have a USB printer (HP2175) and was wondering if it is possible to connect the printer to the wireless router/hub and print wirelessly from my Airport Extreme PB. I read that the Airport Base Station allows this kind of thing. The usb port on the router is a male end though (the same on the printer). Anyone heard of such possibility?

    2wire is a proprietary total piece of CRAP.



    You need an AirPort base station, or a 3rd party STANDARD router from Belkin, Asante, Netgear, Linksys, etc.

    Could I just by a USB print server? if such thing exists? I want the most cost effective solution. So, the 2Wire usb port is just to hook it up to your computer?
