NetGear WGPS606 WGPS606NA

$67.00 Est. at Amazon

from Paul from Texas, www.circuitcity.com
though it took a long time, the product worked flawlessly.
from Grey Bir from TN, www.circuitcity.com
the only problems i am having are:1) sometimes i have to power cycle the print server to get it to communicate with the printer if it hasn't been used for an extended time (like over night).
from Mike from Pennsylvania, www.circuitcity.com
this product took less than 15 minutes to get going from the time i opened the package to having two laptops working wirelessly.
from www.pricegrabber.com
so, i thought, why not just plug it into port 1 seeing as i only have 1 printer at this point in time.
from H2 from Tucson, AZ, clickfrom.buy.com
there are 3 things to note: 1) the only time it fails is when the main wireless access point fails.

D-Link DP-300U DHDP300U

$84.00 Est. at Amazon

from Rick from Aliso Viejo, CA, clickfrom.buy.com
sometimes it would work, other times nothing but jiberish coming out of the printer.
from shopping.yahoo.com
support: d-link's support is greatly limited and i found that they aren't willing to take the time to answer questions (email support).
from A Customer from Naperville, IL, clickfrom.buy.com
anyone can set up this device by simply following the well-written manual, but the d-link dp-300u is versatile and has all the bells and whistles a network geek wants to see, so just take your time.
from www.amazon.com
it's not trivial to install, but after working with the other two devices, a couple hours of install time seems like nothing.
from www.newegg.com
however, when i tried to add my usb only epson r220, i had a hard time adding it as a printer in xp.

of course you can only print to it but that's what we use it for 99% of the time anyway.

hoping all would be rectified by a reboot i rebooted the system and attempted to print again, this time the printer was configured properly and printed without fuss.

from Patrick from Follansbee, WV, clickfrom.buy.com
if you can't get it to work in a reasonable lenght of time, then call tech support.
from TDB from Sterling Heights, MI, clickfrom.buy.com
once we got accustomed to the iogear's slower reaction time to windows applications compared to when the printer was shared on a p2p network, then everything was fine.
from www.newegg.com
loaded on windows (we did) to allow the print server to be discovered.cons: we wish that it was designed with all cables on the rear.other thoughts: we should have purchased this a long time ago.
from www.amazon.com
and started the print server install a second time over.

NetGear PS101 PS101NA

from JayC from Elizabeth, CO, www.circuitcity.com
this is a fantasic alternative to purchasing expensive network capable printers or sharing a printer off one computer that has to remain up all the time.
from www.amazon.com
i just unplug the power pack and plug it back it, and by the time i get back to the pc it's ready to print again, but this could be my routers rather than this print server.
from www.amazon.com
the response time from when you click-to-print until the printer actually responds is slower, but only a matter of a few seconds.
from www.amazon.com
i was getting a communication error on all 3 computers every time i printed even though the print job went through, but was able to disable the error notification in the printer driver (had to do
from www.amazon.com

from Duane Timmons from Seattle, Wa, clickfrom.buy.com
it has the occasional glitch (1 in 100 times it won't autoconnect to the printer) but overall it is a very solid performer.
from scott from west chicago, il, clickfrom.buy.com
what this means is you can only have 1 computer attached to 1 usb device at a time.

it's been 10 minutes after i posted my last review...in that time, i have installed the latest software and updated the firmware.
from www.amazon.com

Trendware TE100-MP1U

$68.00 Est. at Amazon

from Michael, www.newegg.com
i am only sad that i bought the single port unit, because i have a scanner and nas device that i can attach (one at a time) to the trendnet server.
from www.amazon.com
the only regret i have at the time i purchased this is that i didn't see that there was a $20 rebate for the 2-port version bringing the price to about the same as this item.
from www.amazon.com
i upgraded the software, as recommended by the trendnet website, but gosh and by golly that was the last time i could do anything with this unit.
from Cavitysearch, www.newegg.com
it may be i could get it working again if i fiddled it for hours on end, but frankly, i don't have the time.
from Bob, www.newegg.com
cons: no problem so far but i have had it working for only a very short time.
