Do you need a router if you buy a printer with built innetworking?

You need some sort of device that will assign the printer an IP address. This is normally done with a router. Without an IP address you will not be able to find your printer on the wireless network. The router has the primary IP address and then it breaks it down and assigns private address to the other components. The router automatically assigns all hardware on the wireless network with an IP address using the Dynamic Host Protocol (DHCP). This way you do not have to mess with it and your system seems like it has only one IP address and you can hook up as many devices as you want on the network with paying your Internet Service Provider more money.
