NetGear WGPS606 (WGPS606NA) Print Server

Pros: 2 USB ports; 4 port integrated switch; wireless

Cons: None..unless its not compatible with your printer

Review: 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 ...

Pros: 2 USB ports; 4 port integrated switch; Provides remote wired ports over wireless

Cons: Setup can be tricky as with any print server.

Review: 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 ...

Pros: installation ease, number of ports (2 USB, 4 ethernet)

Cons: None that I can think of.

Review: 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 ...

Pros: Smart wizard assistant for installation; 2 USB printer ports; 4-port switch

Cons: Troubleshooting documentation is somewhat limited; not compatible with all printers.

The Bottom Line: I recommend this print server for its ease of installation, multiple printer & switch capability, and its competitive price.

Review: 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 ...

Pros: Excellent network bridge: An AP client with 4-port switch.

Cons: A bit tedious to set up. Have not tested USB print server.

The Bottom Line: Built-in 4-port switch and capabilities as a wireless network bridge give this device some real utility in addition to being a wireless print server.

Review: 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 ...

Pros: Two USB printer ports

Cons: Documentation used for set up

Review: 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 ...

Pros: Works great as wireless bridge.

Cons: Not very stable for heavy printing.

Review: 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. ...

Pros: can add more PC's, Wireless

Cons: Does not work as stand alone print server. Requires a physically attached computer to work.

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. It works fine if you have a dedicated computer physically attached to it, but I use all ...

Pros: Can't think of any...

Cons: They are legion... set-up, documentation, customer support

The Bottom Line: I will regret buying this product as long as I walk this Earth...

Review: 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 ...
