Nice router with username only . I like this design and with name password only router. It is 1st time I see this. I returned Valet/CISCO since it is not as easy as I expected. Plus I do not think I can keep the USB for long. If I missed place it and then I need to pay another big bulks to Valet again. This is quite impress with browser only.
I like it so far and recommend to who has no sense of IP.

Asante 550N Wireless-N Router with 4-Port SmartHub Opinions
It has worked great for me . I've been using this wireless router for well over a year now and it has worked fabulously. We probably reset it about once a month or less and don't have any problems with the unit. I'm not a tech guy, so I wanted something that was easy to set up and wouldn't need any maintenance or real technical know-how to operate. This has fit the bill for me and my family. We have a 1500 sq. ft. 1 1/2 story cape cod style home with solid wood walls, ceilings, and floors. The router works pretty well everywhere on the ground floor, but loses some upstairs, through several layers of wood. No complaints here.

Mac and PC share same printer . I got an Apple Talk bridge to use for my PC and Mac on HP laser jet. And Appletalk does not support by MacOS 10.6 any more so Asante(Appletalk maker) suggested me to use Asante AWRT550N WIFI router instead.
It give me a quite friendly connection after learning about the control center on Asante USB driver. It is automatically spoof the queue from either computer. As long as printer finished one task, the next queue will be on the printer.
Fortunately, I got MacOS10.6 and Win7 so that I do not need to re-install all printer driver. Just plug USB to printer and connect to AWRT-550N and works well.

Cons Review
not very fast does not support usb for more than 1 PC . The price was ok for a router with USB support, so I decided to purchase one, but soon I found out that it does not support USB access from more than 1 computer at the time and the software needed to be installed on the host computer can not be found, not even on the download page on[...]
The signal is not that good either, right next to the router was giving me 90-92% and sometimes it was providing a slower connection. It did not need to be rebooted very often, which is one of the few good things about this router.
The most irritating thing about this is the logon feature that needs to be done every 3 days, in order to be connected to internet. There is an option to remove that, but then you can not use the USB feature.
Overall not a very user friendly device, performance not that great either, if I had the original package, I would return it back.
