NETGEAR’s 54 Mbps Wireless Print Server has two USB ports, as well as a wireless Ethernet bridge mode with a 4-port switch.

Best of all, more than four users can use the printer, without adding any additional wireless adaptors.

Strength Smart wizard assistant for installation; 2 USB printer ports; 4-port switch Weakness Troubleshooting documentation is somewhat limited; not compatible with all printers.

Written By danal01 Date Written Sep 07 2005 Summary I have had no issues with this unit after installation. The unit does require a PC (hardwire) to configure but once that is done, the unit is left to operate as a wireless USB print server (2 printers!) and a remote 4 port switch. Another review... Strength 2 USB ports; 4 port integrated switch; Provides remote wired ports over wireless Weakness Setup can be tricky as with any print server. Needs Stability Improvements

Strength Works great as wireless bridge. Weakness Not very stable for heavy printing. Print Server

Written By bfhaith Date Written Aug 20 2006 Summary This is a good, solid 54G print server/switch. The two USB and four ethernet ports make it a bargain for the price. Just remember to turn off Windows firewall while setting it up - a common requirement for network equipment. It's been working great... Strength installation ease, number of ports (2 USB, 4 ethernet) Weakness None that I can think of.  |
