the ideal product for your office and home

Pros Good Value, Adequate Storage, Easy to Use

Having used many different computers (Mac and PC) and installed a variety of devices and software, I have to conclude that this is THE WORST NIGHTMARE to install of any such product I have ever used. The "Set-up Wizard" is a pathetic error message... Read full review »

Couldn't use it.

Pros Can handle two USB printers
Cons Not easy to set up.

I'm afraid I couldn't use it at all.  The reviews were good in most cases but I'm having huge problems connecting it to my Vista PC and my Buffalo AirStation and it's lying there useless.  The bundled software has some problems to connect with Vista.  There was an update available on their website...

Using WGPS606 as a wireless enet bridge

byjablowme Oct 15, 2008
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Wireless bridge with 4-port switch, under $80.
Cons Not Apple friendly. Set up is an nightmare.
Recommended it? Yes

Its a wireless print server which can also be configured to be used as a wireless ethernet bridge. The device allows you to plug in up to two USB printers (check Netgear website for compatibility, since not all printer are supported) and up to four computers through the open LAN ports in the back...

The "Set-up Wizard" is a pathetic error message generator. By the way, the error messages provide... Read full review »

Refurb unit a bargain even if used only as 4-port wireless switch

Pros Excellent network bridge: An AP client with 4-port switch.
Cons A bit tedious to set up. Have not tested USB print server.
Recommended it? Yes

So far have not yet used this product as a USB print server, but have used its built-in 4-port switch and capabilities as a wireless network bridge, both for connecting to a network print server (see below) and for providing connectivity to multiple PC clients. For the price of a refurbished unit... Read full review »

Easy to install and fast . . . what not to like?

bybfhaith Aug 20, 2006
1 Helpfuls 2 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros installation ease, number of ports (2 USB, 4 ethernet)
Cons None that I can think of.
Recommended it? Yes

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 and isn't noticeably slower than when the printer...

Pros Works great as wireless bridge.
Cons Not very stable for heavy printing.
Recommended it? No

Works great as wireless bridge, but as wireless USB print server it is lacking. I purchased this to run two printers via usb connections(Brother 1440 and HP 7110), one network printer via cat5 (QMS 2350), one DVR via cat5 (TIVO), and one pc via cat5.

It works great for the PC, DVR and... Read full review »

Pros 2 USB ports; 4 port integrated switch; wireless
Cons None..unless its not compatible with your printer
Recommended it? Yes

Needed a wireless print server to work with my HP photosmart 7350. I have a single laptop that is wireless and contacted to a wireless D-link router. I wanted to be able to print to my printer wirelessly. Best advice I received before buying this product was to make sure that the print server is... Read full review »

Relatively Easy Install for 2 Printers

Pros Smart wizard assistant for installation; 2 USB printer ports; 4-port switch
Cons Troubleshooting documentation is somewhat limited; not compatible with all printers.
Recommended it? Yes

After a rocky start trying to get my computers to recognize the print server in the wired mode and a call to Tech Support to resolve it (turning off my wireless connection seemed to be the solution), I was able to set up two computers and two printers in about 10 minutes (the installation guide...

Print Server, Installation frustrating, but works fine

Pros Two USB printer ports
Cons Documentation used for set up
Recommended it? Yes

The documentation that came with the unit was incomplete. It would impact a technology novice negatively...like me. The help desk helped a little, not a lot. Finally got it going. I did pick up a Netgear wireless router as I heard that sometimes a mix of brands does not always go well.

Works Like a Champ

Pros 2 USB ports; 4 port integrated switch; Provides remote wired ports over wireless
Cons Setup can be tricky as with any print server.
Recommended it? Yes

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 mentioned that you needed to keep a PC attached but... Read full review »

I purchased this product a month ago. The first one I bought stopped working when left idle for longer than 15 minutes, and required a reboot to work again.

Pros Cost effective, strong wireless range, and very well designed.
Cons No on/off switch
Recommended it? Yes

I first came across the WGPS606 on Netgear's website long before its actual release. This is a unique product in the home office market because it combines three technologies into a single device; wireless ethernet bridge, wirless print server, and a four port switch. When the device hit the stores... Read full review »
