I haven't had any trouble with it, so I guess I would recommend it. It's a
simple little thing, no frills whatsoever. It's a Hawking H-PS1U. I think I
paid $55 for it, which was the deciding factor rather than brand name, etc.

If you want more than the absolute minimum, then look into Linksys, Belkin,
Netgear, etc. But you'll pay more. Or at the high end, HP JetDirect.
