Siemens 4-Port DSL/Cable Router

I was wondering what people thought about the Siemens 4-Port router. (SS2604) I picked it up from Circuit City for $30 after rebate, mostly because it has the built in print server.

I had been waiting on the wireless version, but I didnt feel like paying an extra $100 just so I can have the wireless router with the print server. I figured I could always get a wireless router later for less money and bridge these two so that I have the print server.

For me this is going to end up being only $9 because I got a $25 gift card due to them screwing up a previous order. (I had an item for in store pick up and when I got there, it was missing. They ended up trying to give me a crappy non-branded other version and I told them that it wouldnt cut it. So then I walked back to where the item should have been, it was on the shelf, so I grabbed it. The manager felt so bad for the employees idiocy that he gave me a $25 gift card on top of the item I was getting.)

I would stick with the one you have rather than go wireless, I am told that the wireless can be insecure and easily accessed from outsiders, just like a cordless phone when in use. It takes a little extra time to run the cat5 but you cant beat it.
