I want to purchase a router to share two pc's on Cable internet. I heard that Linksys is a good router. The only problem is that Linksys doesn't have any routers that have a printer server built in with the network. D-Link has a router with an LPT port and built in print server. Would I see a difference in speed from a Linksys to a D-Link router. Keep in mind that I'm not interested in spending more than $140.00 Canadian for a router. I don't want to share the printer from one pc as I don't want to power up two pc's just to print.

Difference in performance between them two? Nah, both fairly entry level routers. I prefer Linksys myself soley from familiarity, and their ease of use/compatiblity. Didn't used to like DLink, but have to admit, they have been improving substantially.
