Hi Guys,

I'm moving to a new flat soon and I need a bit of advice concerning the best setup for my computer equipment.

I have a laptop with a wireless card in it as well as an ethernet adaptor.

I am planning on having broadband installed in the flat.

What I would like to do is have the SACM, a wireless router and a printer in the spare bedroom and then connect to the internet either from there or anywhere else in the house using the laptop's wireless facility.

So far, so good.....

I would also like to be able to print from my laptop without having to physically connect it to the printer (so if I am surfing in the living room I can just hit the print button and it will print in the bedroom).

So, what do I need to know?

Well, any advice on a good router would be apreciated - especially any pointers on how I can get the printer to work in the way that I want to (or even if it is possible at all!).

Recommendations for a good (preferably cheap) printer that will be compatible with the router etc.

Also, some advice on security. I have a firewall on the laptop so I'm not too worried about people accessing it through the wireless link but obviously I need to be able to lock the router down nice and tight. Remember, I will be in a block of flats and I don't want to share my connection with everybody else. So I suppose that any router recommended will need to have good built in security.

I'm on a fairly (VERY) tight budget so any pointers to good deals on the net would also be greatly appreciated.

Sorry this is such a long post, thanks in advance, for any suggestions / advice.
