Comments: A DI-524 with a USB Print server. One of the cheapest wireless Routers with a built-in print server*, but still with quite a surprising set of features for the price. Great to see the addition of QoS. With the increasing popularity of VoIP there's already a strong demand for this feature and I'm expecting to see it become a standard feature on most routers as we head into 2006.

* USB Print servers can be great but they don't work with all printers. In particular most multifunction printers are commonly found to be incompatible with generic USB print servers. (See my USB Print Server page for more.)
