darcicat -- depends on how much of that is wired vs. wireless. I would recommend the Apple AirPort Extreme base station for its strong wireless performance and support for multiple wireless bands. It has USB and Gigabit ethernet connections built-in, so you could plug in the printer and network drives directly to the unit, making them accessible to all the other wireless devices on your network. I have a smiler set-up in my house, only I use an 8-port switch connected to one of the AirPort's Gigabit ports (my house has multiple Gigabit ethernet ports installed and they all connect through the 8-port switch.)
