Buying a router

[Soul Assassin]

Thank you so much. No Samsungs. So not worth it then

That's just a list of printers they actually tested and know are working, in theory almost any printer will work because in Windows you're going to manually add it as a TCP/IP device.

Yep, that's the way to do it.

Printer support is dependent on router make and firmware.

Yeah, this thing where l can’t be sure puts me off.

I don't think it's much of a risk. You need a new router and many come with usb ports. The base routing functionality will be served, and if the current printer you have works, then win, if it doesn't you still have your current use of the printer and have an extra NAS in the usb port instead.
Since you perceive the need for 2 usb ports, I'd get a router with two usb ports.
