Best Print Servers for Networks

i told my wife ''i'll bet those people don't know networks and ip addresses'' so i took the chance and i was right, i really love this thing.

i earn my living working on radio networks and this is the worst example of technology i have seen in a long time.

i would recommend this adapter with the caveat that it's easy to set up if you know the basics of home networks.

works with both wired and wireless networks.

i set up networks and this is one of the easiest things to do, just pop in the software and let it go, if you dont have the disk just remote into it and run it from there.

i recommend this print server for wired networks--i have not tried using this for any wireless devices yet.

having read the reviews on this page, i was worried that i would be spending the rest of the day praying to netbeui, the old god of networks, to see me through the linksys server installation.

i have been building computers and networks for 15 years and that being said linksys instillation instructions are worthless.

other thoughts: one of the few wireless bridges you can get these days -- eliminates wires between rooms, while still allowing local gigabit networks if you hook a hub up behind the bridge.

cons: poor documentation for non-standard networks, limited printer and multi-function support (can't use my scanner w/o plugging into pc).

i have a little experience with setting up my own wireless networks at home.

other thoughts: useful for home and small business wireless networks where you want to share 1-4 usb printers that are close together.

i'm new to networks, so there was a learning curve.

click on wireless settings, choose or enter the wireless ssid name of the network, wireless mode (infrastructure should be fine for most networks), select super g without turbo unless you understand

i can see where someone not familiar with networks would have problems setting it up but it was a breeze for me on all my computers.

you may want to configure your firewall to block these ports from outside networks as there is no password authentication required to telnet, or print to the device.

for most home networks, this is not a big deal.
