Do I have to have a specific router just for wifi

[donkey]

Hi

I have a router and want to connect the WIFI for printing purposes as I have a wireless PC too.

Can I use any router or a specific one just for that purpose.

depends on what your current router is?
give us the make/model.
that way we’ll see if it’s just a modem or just a router or a combined modem with wireless router.

I just found out its a netgear router so that will be OK. One other question I have a network printer on citrix.

If I was to connect the lead from the network socket into the internet socket on the router and then run a lead from a lan socket to the printer would it still print off the network and would I be able to print stuff from a laptop wireless thats not connected to the network?
